round or oval shape

Mr Pointy Ears · February 23 2012, 02:08 AM

With style of saucer section do you like the best on a starship,the round one like the enterprise -D or the oval\diamond shape like the ENT-E or the Intrepid class starship?.

Tosk · February 23 2012, 03:19 AM

The Enterprise D has an oval shaped saucer as well. It's the original Ent (and A) that has a circular saucer.

Orac · February 23 2012, 08:03 AM

I prefer the round saucer myself.

T'Girl · February 23 2012, 09:12 AM

The sideways orientation on the D's oval, is more pleasing than the fore/aft orientation of the E's.

Round all the way for me. I dont find the E to be attractive atall or Voy.

NX-01 is my favorite ship.. so round. I don't find the oval shape very appealing. Voyager is kind of awkward looking.

CorporalCaptain · February 23 2012, 11:50 AM

Circular.

And yeah, since I was a kid playing with my AMT model, I've always thought it was way cool that the saucer of the TOS Enterprise was a saucer - as in like a flying saucer - but with the cool secondary hull and engines attached.

Circular gets my vote.

backstept · February 23 2012, 02:16 PM

I grew up with the Galaxy, so wide oval is my fav

C.E. Evans · February 23 2012, 06:18 PM

Oval. I like future Starfleet ships evolving away from using the perfectly round saucers of the 23rd-Century.

RoJoHen · February 23 2012, 06:29 PM

It depends entirely on the shape of the rest of the ship.

Ghrakh · February 23 2012, 06:37 PM

Generally prefer round though having it evolve to use different shapes open up design possibilities. Or something like that.

Captain April · February 23 2012, 06:41 PM

As a Star Fleet Battles player/fan I suppose I should say I prefer circular, however, I like any shape as long as it's in keeping with the overall design of the ship.

plynch · February 25 2012, 02:28 AM

Um, ovals are round. I prefer the true circles.

The original E with circle primary hull and cylindrical nacelles combines feminine with masculine forms perfectly.

Anji · February 25 2012, 04:58 AM

The disk has to be a circle. The ovals stretch the ship out toooo much and it looks distorted.
