[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dax: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [qb]"Nemesis": Valdore. Eaves-esque 'nacelle pods'. Everything all pointy (why - this isn't fluidic space). That's beside the point. The ship doesn't really match anything we've seen of the Romulans previously - apart from the colour - and even that is off. It looks like an Eaves'd-up Klingon Bird of Prey. Actually - it's pretty much just the pods that annoy me in that design...[/qb][/QUOTE]So you don't like the nacelles, eh? Imagine the D'deridex nacelles with their bottom halves removed and the remains of their aft end smoothed off -- that's the Valdore nacelles. The Valdore dropped the D'deridex lower wings and the nacelle bottoms with it. The two types of nacelles are even very close in overall length. All seems reasonable to me. The Valdore is basically a more streamlined and sleek D'deridex. It looks more striking (IMO obviously) but it's also a more practical design from a time-to-build and resource usage standpoint. The massive lower hull and tail of the D'deridex doesn't strike me as particularly practical or useful. Comparing the Valdore to D'deridex: It still has a similar head, it still has the dual hull neck, it still has lower support framework for the wings and nacelles, the wings still have the same feather pattern, and the ship's colour is consistent with how D'deridex appeared during DS9. Even the aspects that look similar to the Klingon BoP could rather be attributed as throwbacks to the D7. [/QB][/QUOTE]
