Andrew - do you know a lot about genetics?
Cause with names like Mendel and Okazaki...

Sweet designs though. Can we see the original line-drawings or kitbashes??

I know a little about Genetics, I'm doing a molecular genetics Biochem subject this semester...

Actually they named the 'puters in the biochem labs different names like Van Leeuwenhoek SP?? and Okazaki and Fischer etc... I thought they were apt names for vessels of exploration Fits in with the whole discovery thing

The original line drawings - they suck and I'm going to do better versions so... hang on!

Hm... The Newton and Okazaki look impressed, while the others look raised. Of course, it's possible for them to be the other way around, depending upon how your brain interprets the light source, but, regardless, those two are not the same as the others.

And, where's the Discovery mentioned in "The Squire of Gothos"? Was it a pre-refit version of the Okazaki? Or do you just not believe in it? :-)

The Kitbash in the DS9TM has both nacelles on the bottom of the ship, one on either side of the weapons pod.

UM: I've seen the DS9TM once, at Chapters, and that was only a quick leaf-through.

I wasn't ininsuating anything, it's just a design that looks good, that's all.

The only people who liked the kitbashes in the DS9TM were the blind, near blind, non-Trekkers, and the mentally insane...

And those who hated them could explain more about how warp engins work than how a microwave can heat a hotdog.

He he...just teasing.
