Thought I'd post a link to the only cgi model I saw of the E-J so far. Its on another board so I hope its not a prob.

Hillarious. Back on AOL this kid was annoying as all hell. Thank god I got out of CG long enough to realize AOL sucked and left that circle forever. He used to troll on my art on "The Bridge" chat all the time
I cant even find the Ent-J
Too bad his CGI work became so much more succesfull then mine.

Ummm...."the guy that designed it", I believe, would John Eaves as he's Enterprise's illustrator.
Eaves will be a key guest at Wonderfest later this month and several of us modelers will be asking many questions about this new ship.

Can you also ask why his designs always look similar - i.e. pointy some-what... and/or have those half-moon pods on them... like the Jemmie battlecruiser, the Valdore or the "ENT" Klingon ship.

Alright, am I the only one having trouble finding this supposed image of the E-J? Is it hidding away in a mystery directory? is it if I assmble the 1st, 4th and 9th Battlestar Galactica images? Do I decode the 1's and 0's of the site to make an ASCII picture?

Hmm. Interesting. I wonder what the other designs looked like.

Sure! I'll ask Sternbach whay all his ships have that damned notch carved out of their nose while I'm at it.
I would call him on the blatant re-use of dominion nacelles on the Enterprise RBOP and Paptor.

Actually, the Raptor's nacelles aren't too bad; however, I have to agree with you on the PBOP. The nacelles are so similar to a Jem'Hadar ship's, it's ridiculous.
