[QUOTE]Originally posted by coatlantis1745: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [qb] BTW, on the matter of Hermes revisionism,i don't think that its impossible to reconcile the different attempts at designing and redesigning it.. perhaps only a couple of vessels were built of the Franz Joseph configuration, then more vessels could have been built as a variant with the dorsal deflector. we havent actually seen the whole class though, and one of my favorite parts of SotSF was that it showed many variations witihn single classes of starships. this way, the FJ version remains accurate as the prototype, but we can tailor the rest of the class to better fit our aesthetics and understanding of Treknology.. the same goes for the Federation dreadought.. i see lots of room for in-class variation.. it was a huge wagon, im sure they revised it a few times there was lots of room for improvement. [/qb][/QUOTE]Accepted, but why can't view the original configuration alongside the refits? As I stated earlier, some of us will come along here and see the Hermes and Federation as they are drawn here, and accept this particular drawing as original. I'm not bashing Masao's interpretation of Hermes (though I WOULD bitch about the hull number. I prefer Aridas's take in that department), but when you start bending and shaping Mr. Franz's material to fit artistic liscence, I get a little edgy if the original source material is not cited, literally in this case. Like I said, I am a fan of refit specifications for Star Fleet vessels (Afterall, my favorite design is the Enterprise Class as a worthy refit of Constitution), so do not take my suggestions as an attack on creative liscence. For example, Reverend did a fine job of presenting the original studio of Enterprise alongside a rendering of the FJ blueprints for USS Constitution. [/QB][/QUOTE]
