[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Or that they didn't like working in the confines they were given?[/QUOTE]I'd have to agree with this statement. I didn't like the whole idea that the Titan would be a "small" ship, when it's supposed to be exploring deep space. I personally envsioned a Sovereign-sized ship in a Constellation-class configuration, since the Stargazer-type ships looked so perfect for a deep-space exploration design. [QUOTE]I myself don't see what everyone hates so much about this ship.[/QUOTE]It's very simple, really. There are essentially three reasons why people don't like the design: 1. We just had four years of a Star Trek series where the main ship was a ripoff of the Akira class. The winning design, is, yet again, if not a "ripoff" of the Akira, then strongly based on it, especially in the front-view. Anyone who cannot see this needs to get their eyes checked. 2. Most people were under the impression that Pocket Books and the judges wanted something new, original, and that didn't look like anything we've previously seen, design-attribute-wise. Instead, the winning design was a kitbash of parts from already-established designs, or parts that were "slightly" altered, but not enough IMO to warrant it being different. 3. As mentioned above, what little hints Pocket Books gave for the design attributes (i.e. a small ship) didn't really gell with the ship's supposed mission. (I am not knocking the winning design. No, I'm not really thrilled with it, but I'm happy for the winner and glad he was able to get the chance to have his work in print. But people tried to justify the design of the NX-01 four years ago as well, and that didn't work all that well either.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
