I designed the Constitution's toilet and all I got was this lousy patch.

When I saw the title to your latest project, I thought you might have done a patch with the US Navy ship U.S.S. Constitution. As I wandered my eye over the patch, I was disappointed. I think, in my opinion, that a patch with this very famous ship would be far more interesting than yet another picture of a Connie with a planetary background.

Uh, there is no canon reference source stating that the Constitution Class in fact had toilets, nor were they shown on screen.

Crew members eat and drink. That's enought canon reference for me.

So Spock's little viewer looks into the ship's septic tank?

Not sure why you're so disappointed and can't at least congratulate the work done. I've not exactly seen a plethora of "Connie" patches before. My only "disappointment" is that it's not of what *I* consider to be the original configuration for the class (as seen in "The Cage"), but that's minor compared to acknowledging the effort that went in to the patch......

What luck!
quote: A few nits: 1. I agree that you should have the pilot version. The notion that Constitution herself would have no spikes and the new bridge 20 years before Enterprise doesn't make sense.
As I said earlier, it's just a pach that was probably based off of the final computer model schematics before NCC-1700 was constructed so it would not exactly represent the appearance of the final configuration of the U.S.S. Constitution.
In theory of course the Constitution could have had the different bridge module and bussard spikes, but those are minor design variations that might not have manifested themselves until the prototype was nearing completion. Plus I think the spikes look a little unsightly.
quote: 2. The lower disc mound looks a bit funky, especially at the left. You also have that bright underside of the disc edge over there contrasting with the very dark mound. The bright part of the mound also disappears against the front edge of the disc.
I think that I've now corrected all of those points.
quote: 3. Should a development patch be hexagonal?
Beats me, we have no precident to go by. The only cannon development logo is the Galaxy's and that was triangular. I don't think it really matters much, at least not in the TOS era.
quote: 4. The most important text ("Connie class development project") is the smallest on the patch. Did you try spreading that across the top three sides?
Yeah I did, it looks unbalanced and not very tidy.
Would you use yellow toilet paper in a public bathroom? I hope not.
