[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb] <blockquote>"With gimmick ships like Scimitar, the Prommie's split-combo reforming sillyness and Voyager's flapping nacelles, they're headed for a Power Rangers color-coordinated-combo-ship: mark my words."</blockquote> Down with the Klingon Bird of Prey! Destroy the separable [i]Galaxy[/i] class! Smash the [i]Defiant[/i]'s nose into little pieces! Okay, so we never actually [i]saw[/i] that last one, but still. The point stands that some quite well-liked designs had the same sort of stuff. [/qb][/QUOTE]The (scout sized) KBOP having movable wings to land actually makes sense (as does the Galaxy seperation and even the Defiant's warhead to some extent) but adding in moving parts onto gigantic starships for nothing but a supposed "coolness factor" is dumb. The Scimitar would have been almost [i]all[/i] internal machinery to allow those[i] millions[/i] of tons of mass to transform like that. The larger the ship the less likely moving parts become (I have no issue with moving parts on small ships if it serves a function). Goofy. As to The Last Outpost, it did have one cool moment: the use of holographic displays during the briefing was neat (though seldom seen afterward). [/QB][/QUOTE]
