I'm curious, Fyron, why you're soooooooooo adamantly opposed to the idea of a new shipset for the game ? This seems almost personal, as if a new Tholian shipset was some sort of an affront to you.

Really though, what's wrong with the idea of AT's creating a new Tholian shipset, one that more closely resembles the ships seen in the series? Is that such a bad thing? Why the need to bash and trash the idea? You may well like the set that alreadt exists. More power to you. Others may be interested in a different one. Is that so bad?

You asked "So... do you actually want them to look like the crudely crafted models from TOS?".

Honestly, as a fan of Star Trek, my answer is - yes!

Or, as they appeared in the Enterprise series, or perhaps even some convergence of the two. I admire AT's works, I like the effort made to maintain the "look & feel" of the Star Trek Mod, and I personally even like the overall look of the Tholians and they're ships.

Can anyone honestly say that Klingon ships are stylish or pretty, or Vulcan ships, or Hirogen ships? What about some of the Stock Races ships, like the Toltayans, or the Piundon? Yeah, they can, just as others would say they're not.

I think the most basic point in question here is the one you've managed to dance around so peevishly. This is not a question of whether or not the existing Tholian shipset is good or bad, but would anybody be interested in seeing AT redo it in his own uniquely talented style?

In answer to that particular question, my personal vote would be: Yes
