Title: Mark, LC, Darkthorne - Thought you'd like this!
Post by: Bren on June 15, 2009, 12:33:33 AM: Doug Drexler has just posted an article on his blog, (http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2009/06/13/nx-01-enterprise-class/#more-12368)detailing the NX-01, which he designed. He talks about his unfulfilled wishes that, at the end of the fourth season, the NX-01 would have undergone an extensive refit, and gained a secondary hull.

In the comments section, somebody named D.DoubleYou posted this:

I like this model with secondary hull refit: http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/screenshots/File/41035/6

You planned something similar or position under the saucer with direct connection?

And a few posts later, Drexler responds:
Quote
D.Doubleyou! That is freaking awesome? and I don?t use that word very often. I certainly give it my wholehearted blessing! Hot stuff!

Congrats to the three of you for a job well done and the recognition, and outright ecstatic approval of one of the giants of Trek design.

I just can't freaking believe they almost used an unaltered Akira model for Enterprise. Makes me somewhat more grateful for the Akiraprise's slightly inventive design. I probably would have choked Berman to death myself if it wasn't for Herman Zimmerman convincing him that that was one cost-cut too far.

Again, well done, I'd be feeling very chuffed if I were you!

Quote from: Drex
If the fronts of the nacelles look like penises, I compounded that by making the ends of the NX nacelles look like a girls butt in a thong. I thought that was fair.

Post by: FarShot on June 15, 2009, 09:26:26 AM: Wow! That's pretty cool! Recognition from Doug Drexler himself! I sometimes head over to his and Eaves' blogs too.

Post by: Bren on June 15, 2009, 08:06:24 PM: I have him, Eaves, Darren Dochterman and "Mojo" bookmarked on my other computer. They post some incredible stuff, especially in the form of Starship reference pics.

Post by: Phaser on June 17, 2009, 10:00:35 PM: Wow. That's some high praise!

It's very sad (and yet, also validating) to hear how much potential B&B dashed by being so closed-minded.

Post by: Bren on June 20, 2009, 12:45:28 AM: Couldn't agree more, Phaser. :(

Post by: Tuskin38 on June 20, 2009, 01:55:20 PM: Some of the people in the blog comments are unaware that those pictures are from the mod. They think 'D.Doubleyou' made them lol.

Oh well.

Post by: Dalek on June 20, 2009, 02:02:35 PM: Hehehe.

But yeah, recognition from Lord Drexler (with the word "freaking" :P) is awesome. Now we direct him towards ST: Excalibur...:P

Post by: Kirk on June 20, 2009, 07:13:52 PM: Indeed, Mark, DT, etc, start sending Doug some pictures of your work. Or better yet, make sure he gets a copy of the new model viewer.
