This constant desire to revise our understanding about ships we have come to learn about and respect in the past is very troubling.[/qb][/QUOTE] :rolleyes: Yeah, sure. We all know that EVERYTHING is perfect, and it's much better to assume that the 600 hours of Trek published since 1975 are wrong, and some unofficial book which has been decanonized is absolutely correct. It's an unfortunate flaw that there are inconsistencies in Trek, but it's basically unavoidable when you've got such an incredible volume of work being made. The whole point is to make the facts fit in as well as possible. As many of them as possible. [/qb][/QUOTE]But what is it that doesn't "fit" between FJ's ships and other Trek that we've seen? Not much that I can see. All the changes being made seem to be done simply to appease the aesthetic sensitivities of the individual artists. ("I never really liked the way such and such looked...") Of course, that's what artists do and there's nothing wrong with it. Rev and Harry and Masao and whomever else are free to tinker and play with things as they please. But personally happen to love these old FJ designs, and I too would love to see a straight rendering of the ships in their original configurations. Besides, need I remind you that the [i]Hermes[/i], [i]Saladin[/i], and [i]Ptolemy[/i] were all seen on computer displays in TWOK and TSFS? -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
