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

No problem. Anyone got any duct tape?

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 don't know... I've been from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've never seen any mystical adhesive product...

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.

You're completely wrong!

There, and the balance is restored. :)

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.
I think it looks nice, too.

I think the galaxy looks nice! When it comes to a preschooler designing a starship i'd say she's tops! :lol:

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.

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.

I like big women. And the Galaxy Class. Wonder if there's any correlation.

Just because it doesn't have to be balanced, it doesn't mean you should build an absolutely hideous ship.

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.
