bull3964 posted:Yeah, and the same goes for the nacelles. The more rounded nacelles look like something out of JJ Trek and don't really fit with the design theme they have going on here, the squared off nacelles fit the design language better. It's just a weird effect. This all started with the Sovereign's more = better than, glowier and greeblierer trend.

Next season they'll have a stunt man fall on an obvious stunt mat as a reference to stunt mats. Maybe we can get an Easter egg referencing boom mics.

Payndz posted:I was reading an article about how the Enterprise-D was designed a couple of days ago, and what stood out was how determined Probert was to have the ship be smooth and flowing and curved, with hardly a straight line on it. Specifically, the idea was that the TOS Enterpise was very geometric, made of straight lines and circles. So to show the more evolved version he started by transforming anything that was a circle into an oval (saucer, nacelles, engineering hull front-on) and anything that was a straight line into a curve (pylons, neck, length of the hull). All simplicity becoming the complex equivalent. quote:(It was a huge pain for ILM to build, but Probert and the producers were adamant that they stick exactly to the design rather than their usual MO of treating whatever they were given as a starting point.) And it shows that when the time came for the not-as-good-as-ILM inhouse model shop to build the four-footer they couldn't pull the curves off as well, it was just too hard.

FlamingLiberal posted:Yes although they somehow do this but can’t do it to the other Synths for *reasons* Those reasons being: - They had an agent inside Starfleet, so sabotaging Starfleet equipment was fairly easy, whereas they didn't even know where the synth colony was, let alone how to infiltrate it. - The Mars synths were very primitive, probably non-sapient, whereas the colony synths were just as sophisticated as Data and not just automatons that could be reprogrammed. I mean, come on people. At least try and look like you were paying attention. You're reaching CinemaSins levels.

MikeJF posted:And this came up in the other thread, but STO did do a ship based on that concept art years ago, too. I'm getting a little tired of ship concepts doing away with so many of the shapes that make the ships. Shortening the neck, unsaucering the saucer, flattening the dorsal engineering hull, complicating the nacelles and, as everyone has stated, breaking up the smoothness of the surface with thingies. I would love to see designs that celebrate the aspects of TOS-TNG era ships more. Circle saucers, long necks, cylinder hull, cigar nacelles.
