[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] To illustrate what I am saying, I direct you to the following scans of the Star Fleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph at [URL=http://www.stguardian.to/]The Guardian of Forever[/URL]. [URL=http://www.stguardian.to/fed/starships/hermesside.jpg]Hermes[/URL] [URL=http://www.stguardian.to/fed/starships/saladinside.jpg]Saladin[/URL] [URL=http://www.stguardian.to/fed/starships/federationside.jpg]Federation[/URL] 1. I really must plead the case that you should make two separate drawings for the Saladin and Hermes, as the one is precisely correct to neither. The Hermes should not have the two photon torpedo tubes on the bridge mound, and the Saladin should have phaser mounts on the upper surface of the saucer. 2. The "dish" emplacement was designed to be the [b]main sensor[/b] in TOS, and that's what the Joseph diagrams (seen as computer displays in TWOK) clearly indicate them as being on these ships. The Federation has two sensor dishes (fore & aft) [i]and[/i] two smaller dishes (obviously recessed into the hull, so as not to appear in the side view ;) ) in the front, which are the [b]tractor beam[/b] and [b]navigational deflector[/b], respectively. However, I must dispute Topher's notion that the "dish" on the refitted Connie seen in the films was also a sensor. Unless I am very much mistaken, it was designed to be the nav-deflector. 3. Your Federation is missing its phaser banks on the upper saucer surface. Also, the saucer rim looks a little too thick. 4. I'd love to see a starliner-type pod for the Ptolemy, as depicted in the FJ Manual. :) I am very enamored with the quality of your drawings and am very glad to see these designs again. Excellent! -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
