aint it cool that the kept with the good old saucer design for the federation ships?.
i mean it must have blown the veiwers away back in the 60s with the Enterprise A looking the way it did, since then the same principle goes for later shows and series.
i never really used to think much into it but but now i think its a rather genius design to have (and appologies for the incorrect words used) the hull section that is generally attached to the saucer is a good way of going about making a ship, i think the best display of this timeless design is TNG move "generations" as you know if you have seen it the Enterprise D seperates leaving the hull for lack of a better word behind in an effort to save the crew, i wonder if this was a design element that gene rodennberry input when he thought up the old enterprise because back then humans hadn't landed on the moon and as far as ships go at this time i cant really think of a more simple design or a more futuristic design for a ship.
he was ahead of his time and the design has lasted for over 30 years which in it's self is testimony to its geneius.
however in past episode ships from the future and so on had ditched the design of a saucer which was never as good and i am just wondering if other fans thought the same about this?
so any discussion is welcome of course
