[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"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."</blockquote> You think the real-life reason for the [i]Galaxy[/i] to separate was anything but "coolness factor"? Come on. They spent five minutes showing just that in the [i]first episode[/i]. And almost never afterward. It was nothing but a gimmick. And I don't see how "variable warp geometry" is any less of a valid reason for moving parts than the others. Especially the BoP. Why not just build the thing with its wings already far enough up to land? <blockquote>" The Scimitar would have been almost all internal machinery to allow those millions of tons of mass to transform like that."</blockquote> Well, the [i]Scimitar[/i] was a little pointless. Note that I didn't bring it up. However, to be fair, the Romulans already have one ship design that's unnecessarily huge. If we assume they do that just to be intimidating, it's not overly surprising that they might come up with a ship that can "make itself look big" like a cat or something. [/QB][/QUOTE]
