Star Trek ship sets

[ManOfWar]

*Warning, Strong Opinion Enclosed*

I have been lurking here for a while now, and recently desided to post. I have downloaded all of the Star Trek ship sets, and discovered that non of them are Cannon. I am heavily dissappointed by this, and feel that I must express my displeasure at the designer of these sets, Atrocities. Dude, what in the hell were you thinking? No flame intended, but, your ship sets suck!

The Borg: OMG! That set is so ugly and un-Borg, how can you claim it to be Borg?

The Breen: These ships look like spare parts. Who died and gave you permission to do this set? I should report this, correction, I am going to report this to Paramount. You have no right to make up new ships!

The Cardassian: You took these ships from a game called Birth Of The Federation!

The Dominion: I would think that even someone as uninspired as you would have done a better job here. All the ships are exactly the same. Just differant angles.

The Federation sets: WTF were you thinking? Voyager is not a destroyer! Your ship allocations in these sets are not cannon, and reek of BS! (No offense just an opinion)

The Ferengi: Again you stoled these ships. WTF are the carriers suppose to be? Flying orange flowers?

Needless to say, the rest of your sets are not cannon, and since you refuse to respond to my suggestions via email, I thought I would post them here!

Let the professionals do the ship making. You need to go back to school and learn what it is to be a Star Trek fan. Your ship sets are NOT Star Trek, and you insult the players of this fine game by pretending to offer them Star Trek sets. Your work is un-original, and an inspired.

As I said, you should let the professionals do the work!

Again, this was not a flame, JMHO.

EDIT

Ok, I have withdrawn the "Flaming" parts. The rest should be of acceptable form.

Star Trek is about fact, not fiction. The creaters of the ships and races follow a strict guideline in development and such. Atrocities made his ship sets on a whim, and it just offened me.

Looks like I just missed you. First welcome to the forum. Second, you should read the HTML viewer or the Credits Text document. I list the games and such that the ships were gathered from.

About those emails, well, don't expect me to respond them. I get upwards of 30 or more a day about all kinds of things. I just don't have the interest in explaining to you why I chose to develop the Hirogen set the way I did or why the Kazon ships aren't "cannon."

If you do not like the sets, simply don't use them. If you want to make new sets based upon your "vision" of star trek, then by all means feel free.

I respect your views, but I make no apology for what I have done. If you want to contact Paramount Pictures, that is your right, but before you make a complete fool of your self, ask but one question: is it really worth it?

Enjoy the game, and I look forward to any ship sets you release.

Dear ManOfWar.

If it looks like a flame, burns like a flame and hurts you like a flame it is probably a flame, wouldn't you agree?
It doesn't make it less insulting declearing someone as stupid, clueless, uninspired and accuse him of theft if you say it is just your opinion.
And who gave you the right to decide what are correct pictures of the star trek races? Are you one of the creators of the series or the elected president of the global star trek fanclub?
Please think about how you would feel about your post if you were Atrocities. I hope you would react as calm and decent as he did.
I would wish that you realize the aggressiveness that is in your post and find the right thing to do in order to correct it.

Sincerely yours,

Q

Thanks for the support Q. I think he is somewhat sincere in his belief that his post is not intended to be a flame. I am taking him at his word with the hopes that such Posts in the future will be a tad bit more "professional."

When I was at school I used to think Star Trek fans were the stereotypical sad, nerdy losers who attach an unbalanced amount of importance to what is- when it boils down to it- just a TV series.

Since coming to this forum, I have met ppl like Q and Atrocities who have shown me that Trekkies can equally be broad-minded, sociable and creative folk who are able to just enjoy the show without treating it like a holy war.

Thankyou MoW for taking me back to school and helping me re-learn what is to be a true star trek fan.

BTW, you need to either look up what "JMHO" actually stands for, or think long and hard about the meaning of the word "Humble".
