[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Pretty simple, really. I just 1) give all the unseen (Placido and the like) or unrepresentable (Castor, Horizon) conjectural classes saucerlike hulls, 2) demote the Daedalus and Mann to semi-civilian science vessels of inferior warp-dynamic shape, 3) mix the "particle cannon" and "phase cannon" nomenclature into an unholy fudge, so that they essentially describe the same FTL visible-in-vacuum beam weapon, 4) briefly introduce laser weaponry for the era between ENT and TOS, as a secondary armament superior to plasma guns but inferior to refined phasers (ships that have lasers will also have phase guns as their primary armament), and also remove all references to lasers from pre-ENT ships and go for plasma guns instead, 5) ignore the idea that transporters were introduced in the 2230s, and just consider that a "major upgrade" of Earth-indigenous systems from Mk I to Mk II, 6) do something similar to antimatter power production (or then the NX class will be an abandoned experiment, much like SS Savannah and SS Otto Hahn were for commercial fission propulsion, and the 2230s will mark the rebirth of the concept), 7) move the Tyme Barrier from warp four to warp five or six, and adjust performance specs of pre-TOS ships accordingly, 8) and curl up into a ball in the corner and sob uncontrollably for 4.7 hours. That should more or less do it. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
