[B][B]So I guess that means they're powered by steam? :p
[/B][/QUOTE]
Yep, wich is exactly the reason why it was blown up by the borg. Would it have been powered with something else, even real steam, they would have probably survived, but they used valve's steam, and their masterserver crashed during the battle, so....

[B]Apparently so. I wonder if the Akira class is powered by Anime?

Nope. They use small kids with god-like powers to shift them through space.

[B]Then explain the NEBULA class.... and Oberth class. (yuck, another nasty lookin' ship I wasn't too fond of.)

No, it actually *is* Steamrunner.
They're quite elegant looking ships, in a weird, twisted way. There's also the Sabre, another great ship that had a pretty short life.
Didn't you know: All ST ships run on steam. That's why every time they get attacked steam starts shooting out of all the bulkheads.
I still don't get Voyager with its folding nacelles. Um... How does folding up move them away from the crew? In fact doesn't it move them closer to some of the crew?
I like the look of the Steamrunner - glad they have shields hovever - all ST ships for that matter because engineering, the deflector array, bridge, and nacelles are just asking to be targeted.
As for origional design in ships for S.T. the borg had a CUBE! I mean come on! LOL I know - I know I'm actually okay with the cube don't go all 'trekie' on me now.
Am I the only one who liked Enterprise A and B? :(

Tell it, brother!
As for the Bog Cube, I thing Trek gets away with it because they can say that the borg use a "Trans-Warp Drive" which might have eliminated the problems an ordinary warp drive has with warp field proximities and the rest.

Actually, those are plasma conduits that have ruptured.

Because dumb and dumber wanted Voyager to look 1337 to the f4nb015. :D Seriously, the only real 'answer' to that, that I've heard, is that the forward section of the hull protects the nacelles while the ship is at warp....which is kinda stupid since the main deflector takes care of that problem anyways. ;)

You're not the only one. Apparently Starfleet liked the Constitution-refit class so much that they kept them around....my guess for trainee cruises or something. If you watch part 2 of "Best of Both Worlds", you'll see the engineering section of a Constitution-class in the debris field at the VERY left hand part of the screen as the Enterprise flies by.

[B]Tho for some reason, they decided that the old B'Rel (not the K'Vort) class Bird of Preys needed to have folding wings! :confused: Go figure.
Heh... Up for landing, middle for cruise-mode, and down for attacking.
-Zoltan [/B][/QUOTE]
Star Trek IV needed the ship to land. That's why the wings move.
I like A and E. D looks like it got squished. A is graceful and artisitic, and E looks like it knows where it's going, why it's going there, and who it will blow the hell out of when it arrives.
Enterprise-E was the ONLY good thing about ST: Nemesis. Damn, that movie sucked worse than SW: Ep 1! If they'd replaced Shinzon with Jar-Jar Binks, it would have only improved the movie.
For B5 ships, gotta be the Warlock.

my fave ST ship is the Voyager, but not the screen version, the version thats in one of the ST manuals...
arrowhead shaped saucer section... quite sexy, a real shame it never saw anything beyond a sketch book at Paramount

You don't happen to speak of this conceptual drawing?

Well fuck. Why couldn't they have used that? That looks so cool compared with the fish that they went with!
I like the A, it looks cool. The B is OK, better than the C.

The answer I heard was that by putting them at that angle and orthogonal to each other, the warp field causes less damage to the space-time continuum.

Yeah, if they had made the forward section thicker, it would've been perfect. :)
To hell with Voyager.... The DEFIANT pwns!!! In the hands of the right captain + crew, it can defeat any ship! :p
The Voyager might have those fancy-pancy bioneural circuitry and gel-packs.... But they can get sick! LOL :rolleyes: And the Defiant can fly circles around Voyager any time, not to mentioned the 10x more powerful weapon systems. (Except for Voyagers Tri-cobalt devices, that it "surprisingly" expended in the pilot episode! hah)
The Defiant kicks major arse..... in ANY compartment! Looks, armament, speed, agility, size, cool factor, armor, etc.

[B]Sabre attached here. Beautiful ship, as well. [/B][/QUOTE]
Ewwwww!!! Saber!!! Yuck!!! Damnit, Jim... Put that thing away! Don't point that thing at me, Jim!
Damnit Jim!!! I'm a doctor, not a target!

They just don't make 'em like that anymore....
