A.I. Borgland Corp posted:I can't decide whether to put my kanar sticker on my car or my wet bar. Is it committed on the sticker side, so I could put it on the inside of a window? If people want a second (lighter & brighter) run so they can have more/extras, I will do it but I'd need to be reimbursed somewhat this time.

The Starships Collection is doing the Voyager prototype from Rick Sternbach, and I vastly prefer it to what we got. https://twitter.com/trekcore/status/1017462500256870400 https://twitter.com/trekcore/status/1024777284496982017

The amount of detail and bumpiness on that makes it look like it belongs in Star Wars, not Star Trek. It's v. Y-wing.

Yeah Sternbach really liked greebles and cut-outs and dents. Still better than John Evans and spikes and angles.

someone posted a tweet a month or so back that was the cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" but photoshopped to have Riker and Crusher from the "Phantasms" dream sequence on it instead and I can't find it. Does anyone have it?

It's neat, but something about the the nacelle struts and the top of the secondary hull just look runabout-ish. Like someone hit a Danube class with an embiggening ray and then put a pointy saucer on the front.

Sternbach was better at making props and poo poo. Andrew Probert is the one who was the MVP on the TNG's look for ships. Still looks better than anything Eaves made though.

I guess I'm weird but all the ship designs look fine to me. Like, I do not understand at all why people are grumpy about, for instance, the Enterprise in Discovery. (Though I get that Discovery itself looks a little too flat? I guess? But it's not a big deal.)

Brawnfire posted:I wish I still had all my Star Trek micro-machines. My local comic con had a booth with a girl who was selling keychains and earrings made with the old Star Trek Micro Machines. I wonder if she wouldn't have been more successful just reselling them. I would have bought the Miranda class for sure. On that note I love how cheap the TNG playmates figures are. I've never been an action figure collector but I have been buying one for like 5-10 bucks each at each con I go to and I almost have a full bridge crew. Only missing Crusher, Wesley, and Yar at this point (and technically Dr. Crusher's not bridge crew I guess). Professor Beetus fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Aug 2, 2018 |

(Though I get that Discovery itself looks a little too flat? I guess? But it's not a big deal.) Some people will be mad at any change at all and that goes without saying Others like me just think the designs look uninspired and boring, there's nothing special about any of these ships or sets since instead of screaming "this is Star Trek and look at this vision of the future!" they look like they could be from any low rent syfy original or xbox exclusive produced during the past 15 years. Granted, this is harder to do now since we actually do have flat reconfigurable touch screens and voice activated computers in real life, but STD is just like ok we'll go with some LED track lighting and also the Klingons look like GoT since that show is popular, right fellow network exec? I actually don't mind the Enterprise redesign at all, it's ok just like the phaser and tricorder props, but I think it's telling that the best looking parts of the show are barely modified versions of existing stuff. Like Voyager and Enterprise before it, STD brings virtually nothing new to the table visually or in terms of it's story. Hell, the fact that they included the Enterprise they way they did at all seems to indicate they're aware of this on some level.

The runabout complaints are valid but at the same time, at least that version looks like it's supposed to be able to land on planets. Also I think the scale of that toy model is exaggerating the greeblification, I don't remember the mockup in the Art of Star Trek book looking quite so Star Wars-y on the surface detail.

That thing does look fast at least. It's weird, I think it's a more interesting ship, but the final Intrepid class design is unique in that it's the end of a lineage. After Voyager, Star Trek ships started moving towards being dark and angled and spikey and there is something endearing about it's simple rounded design.

True, although I feel like the last design of that family was really the Akira. It's funny how the Akira looks from the Voyager era and the other new First Contact ships are of the more jagged Enterprise-E look.

I see the Intrepid and Sovereign being sibling designs, one's just bigger. They both have long, sleek proportions and eliminate the neck pylon so the saucer sits directly on the engineering hull. Toss in the Nova from Voyager, too. I think the Steamrunner fits with the NX and Akira designs, possibly along with the Oberth in having a split hull design leading to a separate engineering hull.

I think the Norway class is a decent fit for the TNG era as well, though the big empty gap between nacelles looks a bit silly and fragile. The Saber class is hideous though. There’s no defending that design.
