Nonsense. It was other way around. - Just to keep discussion open. Back to ST in SEIV, it is more than desirable to keep shipset designs as close as possible to some "canon" that exists in our minds - Federation ships should look like Enterprise and Klingons like Bird Of Prey. Atrocities shipsets certainly fullfill this criteria. Asking for more is as silly as arguing what are canon - ST:TOS or ST:THG ships ? Yes, really ?

Hey, how did you do that ? When I tried Cirilic encoding in IE, my post still was in Latin !
BTW, It should be "ja ne govoryu po russki" instead of "ja ne govoryu na russkom"

Actually, you just have to look at the pre-WWII planes of US, Russian, German, English, and even Japanese - and compare them to later planes these countries produced. EVERYBODY was guilty of taking others designs!!
