So that's what that loud cracking noise was; I think we just broke the universe.

Ah, duct tape. What can't it solve? It's kind of like the Force; it's got a light side and a dark side, and it binds the universe together...

I'll try fixing that by saying that I find the Galaxy very beautiful. In fact, it's one of my favourite starships. Now you can all disagree with me and fix the universe.

I think it looks nice, too.Jordanis wrote:I appear to be nearly alone in liking the looks of the Ambassador
I actually think she looks better than the E-D. the E-D always felt bow-heavy to me. The Ambassadors' more compact and solid neck gives it a more solid and balanced look, and helps make it look more stately.

It just looks to disproportional to me. The saucer is to wide and round and the nacelles to boring.
The CGI model of it has no life to it either.

What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

At first, I also thought the GCS looked unbalanced, but I was able to forgive that because she is, after all, a SPACEship and balance means very little. However, Teaos hit the nail on the head when he said that the CGI looked dull on tape.Teaos wrote:It just looks to disproportional to me. The saucer is to wide and round and the nacelles to boring.

I can't stand nothing dull

Thats not the point. Just because it doesnt have to be ballanced doesnt mean it shouldnt be. A fat chick doest weight anything in space but that doesnt mean you'd bang her.At first, I also thought the GCS looked unbalanced, but I was able to forgive that because she is, after all, a SPACEship and balance means very little.

Just because it doesn't have to be balanced, it doesn't mean you should build an absolutely hideous ship.
*Watches as Kostmayer is dragged off for testing*I like big women. And the Galaxy Class. Wonder if there's any correlation.

I agree that the GCS looks fat (I like my women fit not fat); the Nebula comes out much better with the same "wide" profile. And the Sov is way better than either.
