That's OK... we'll just imagine it's J.J. Abrams![]()
It's a fair question. TAS is a strange animal in that many people don't accept it as "real" Star Trek because it was animation rather than live-action. But TAS has so many connections with TOS and brings so much new to the table that I find it impossible to dismiss entirely.This raises another issue, which should probably be addressed in some future thread:
If the TAS shuttles are cartoon caricatures of what they would "really" look like if they had appeared in TOS, what about the Bonaventure? I know this may seem OT, but I saw the posted quoted above and I couldn't resist asking.

Just mention I created the photoshoped images based on the TAS designs. Simple and no big fanfare.Thanks! How do you want them credited? Warped9?
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -- Winston ChurchillWell, my take... typically speaking, the "full size mockups" of anything take shortcuts and the miniatures typically are more representative of the original design intent (since it's a lot cheaper to make an accurate miniature of something than an accurate full-sized version of the same thing).
I'd weight HEAVILY towards the miniture, fit the interior (perhaps scaled down slightly but kept pretty much consistent with what we saw) and disregard the alleged "full-sized" exterior one as much as possible.
That's just me though.
