It's supposed to be a damn freighter. Fuck maneuverability. For a commercial freighter its far more important that it be able to be kept running.

I'm with Tyyr here. All of his technical points, and the fact it's just fucking ugly. I have seen plenty of functional yet aesthetically attractive designs out there. This thing makes me think of the weird Chicken Ships out of Jimmy Neutron.

Yeah, I guess for it's original design purposes, that would make more sense. For the purposes they were using it for, however, maneuverability would be paramount.

I agree there, but it makes no sense that the ship would originally be designed that way. Well, not the first time people make stupid design decisions, but that's a pretty big one for a freighter. By this time I'd assume people would have a good idea of what it takes to make a good freighter and the stupid design decisions would amount to, "Why'd they have the door open that way?"

Considering that we never saw another Firefly-class, and considering how drastic the refit for the movie was, I'd say it's possible the engine pylons were a modification; at the end of the movie, they're strapping the whole pylon back on with little seeming difficulty.

maybe he should have made it green. after all, kirk is supposed to be the good guy. but, it's a cool pic nonetheless. 8)

The green looked pretty bad, Kirk seems more of a Sithy guy, more than a Jedi.

And Green didn't look good at all, however, since the pic is grayscale I will fix it quickly.

Here is kirk with BLue, and with Green sabers.
