After reading the stormy discussion about Gorn ship set, I believe my Tholians insulted quite a few trekkies. Therefore I am inclined to make them some other race and never ever again touch anything ST related. Please vote what should I do: keep them or change ?

Nonono ... don't give up on ST races. You don't have to change your shipset either.

That's not the sort of response I wanted to provoke in folks who make shipsets; with you, you evenmentioned some SFB details (the use of multiple smaller hulls to make larger ships), and Iw anted to point you at further resoruces for future refinements ... along the lines you'd already chosen for the set, and/or if you wanted to evolve the set closer to an SFB look.

They don't say "Tholian" to me, but it's still a good shipset, and there're plenty of Trekkers out there who're less of a purist than I am WRT how such and such a ship type might look.

And oleg ... I'm a FANATICAL Tholian fan. We're talking, foaming at the mouth rabid fancritter where the Tholians are concerned (gotta love the Neotholian's Webcaster ... *drool*).

And your ships don't insult me. Fall short of what I might have created n yoru place? Well hell, man, anythign that wasn't 100% accurate to SFB would do that ... if it was off by one pixel!

Keep the ships. Maybe make a future revision that uses some of the SFB resources I pointed you to (I'd like that, of course!). But don't toss 'em in the recycle bin just because one extremely vocal member of the comunity spoke up about his dissatisfaction with current shipsets based on established SF races ...

Please!
