@mmv44 Well the "design rules", as it were, only really applied with the day when visual effects technology made fast-flying ships difficult to see on-screen. The original Enterprise needed to be instantly recognizable in silhouette, so you can see even a quick blur and go "on hey, that's the Enterprise". Now CGI animation and camera on model shooting has improved to such a degree, even the smallest of detail can be seen, therefore making the "design rules" somewhat a moot point.
That's an awesome ship! Too bad it doesn't meet Roddenberry's Design Rules. They made Voyager's nacelles tilt up when going to warp so that it meets his four rules.
Nice vid, I love the pictures except for the last one asa the person who made it obviously doesn't know how to use a ruler as the Diligent Class is clearly longer in length than it is wide.
So a Length of 188 and a Width of 103 is clearly wrong.
cheers man, awesome
