While I’ll not be around to see it, I’m hoping that, by the 22nd century, people will have come to their senses and Microsoft will be a quaint little footnote in the history books.

I saw that episode of Stargate SG-1. Not my idea of high society.Books? What are these "books" you speak of? Our approved historical truefacts are downloaded into our brainbanks each morning.
You recall correctly.
Also, noting that Diane and Peter apparently took that "25-year war" stuff from Blish's adaptation of "Balance of Terror" for The Romulan Way. Twenty-five years of warfare seems far more appropriate for the level of enmity that Stiles demonstrated in the finished episode, but that's a matter of personal opinion on my part.
I want to congratulate you-you made a rounded primary hull appealing and more believable. Well done.Found some images of my 22nd century Constellation. For some reason, though, I'm having trouble finding the files of the actual 3D model. The idea, here, was this would be one or two evolutionary steps beyond the ringship configuration.
At some point I will revisit that design to tweak it.
Note of curiousity: the spherical hull is not a perfect sphere. I actually flattened it by about five or so percent. Such a subtle difference seemed to make a world of difference (in my eyes) in terms of overall look. A perfect sphere made the design look awkward while a slightly flattened sphere (or really fat ovoid) just seemed to work.

Huh. Interesting. I need to see if that's true.
Interesting adaptation. I think that makes sense as to why it appeals to my eye overall. A full sphere never sits right in terms of starship designs, while having more flatter space is far more appealing. Again, completely my eyeballs being funky, or possibly not sphere shaped*
*to all the amateur anatomists who are about to correct me I'm aware that eyes are not a true sphere.
Very true. An artistic deception. The lack of straight lines makes it look straighter. There are entire books on this. They say it better.
Yeah, I just found the information. Fascinating!
Like the East India Corporation?
Everyone says that but are they including the floor?, the roof?
Level isn't the same thing as straight.
Wishful thinking on my part, to be sure. That's how it will probably go in reality. They're both just as evil.
What would the Romulan vessels look like in a non - continuity basis*, would those ships appear smaller than the BOP from "Balance of Terror" or something compact and bulky?
*In TOS first season there were 2 episodes "Tomorrow is Yesterday" and "Space Seed" which implies the crew of the Enterprise was in 22nd Century not the 23rd. The latter was established on a poster promotion for TMP and on screen in TWOK.
And they know this isn't because of settling? I mean, it was built a few thousand years ago.
