Candidly I never really gave it much thought. Thats on top of which I never really cared for the Vulcan ships of the TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT production era. Ringships I equate with emerging FTL technology rather than advanced FTL technology.Warped9, I may have had conversations with you about Vulcan spacecrafts and how I was so disappointed of design craft presented in ST: First Contact. To me it never felt Vulcan to me; for some reason I suspected a Vulcan spacecraft would have the DNA of a Romulan ship. What were your thoughts on the First Contact ship, and have you had any ideas what a Vulcan spacecraft would appear like in Star Trek in the 60's?
The Vulcan warp shuttlecraft of TMP was cool, but was it really Vulcan given the TMP refit had the same shuttlecraft design?
There is an idea that the Romulan BoP is essentially a Romulan interpretation of an old Earth design. Does that make it any less genuinely Romulan?
There really aren’t any clues (that I recall) in TOS to suggest what Vulcan ships of that era could look like.
