[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Cute if true! My biggest beef with issues like this is not "Why don't we see this ship or that again?" but "Why do they have so many ship designs in the first place?". I'd hope the answer to be that certain ship types are good for certain kinds of missions. The "plain" [i]Surak[/i] ringship could be a deep space explorer with little or no combat value and little or no reason to loiter near Vulcan. But the "Fusion" ship lookalikes, no matter what color, supposedly still would be freighters. Okay to see them near Vulcan, I guess, but why have them in a combat fleet near Earth? As for this "three phase guns aboard NX-01" thing, I rather think that the missing nine were installed as soon as possible after "Silent Enemy". The few that made an appearance before "The Expanse", but after "Fallen Hero" had nailed down the location of the final of the original three, would have to be something Reed cobbled together out of spare parts. I could just barely believe that the ventral guns can move to the corresponding dorsal locations, but it doesn't make sense that the ones on the upper and lower central superstructure would horizontally move to the rim or boom ports! A phase gun firing from a navigation light is BAD. Especially because all the former shots have apparently been fired from the twelve gunports that truly exist on the model. Why the slipup now? Have the torpedo animators been drafted to do phase beams? :rolleyes: I'd still like Shi(r)Kahr to be something other than the capital, just out of spite. It might make sense for major Melder families like Sarek's to choose to inhabit a small town near the mythical Forge, rather than the more secular, more urban and more central parts of the planet... And I'm still a sucker for the idea that the Forge and Mount Seleya represent ancient, even prehistoric mythos for Vulcans. When I see Diane Duane's work crumble around me, at least the relevant passages from "Spock's World" still might remain... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
