HRH The KING 0 Posted January 4, 2005 Various races in Trek have very distinctive starships so the designers generally start from one common design. Federation ships tend to feature, a saucer or sphere shaped main hull, an engineering hull, warp pylons and nacelles, they are also white/grey. Klingon and Romulan vessels generally look like predatory birds, and are mostly green. Cardassian ships tend to look like manta rays or crustaceans, and are yellow/gold coloured. Ferengi vessels are crab shaped and are orange/tan coloured. Borg vessels are geometric shapes like metallic spheres, cubes etc... The designers work from these common designs for each race.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention again. :lol: 341322[/snapback] It's recently been updated to include ships like the Andromeda, the Nostromo (from "Alien"), Space Station-5 (from 2001: A Space Odyssey) and even Unicron (from Transformers: The Movie). Eratosthenes- Too big? [scratches head] What ships do you think are too big...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
