Huh? What are you talking about? The only thing I am "opposed to" is your dismissal of Oleg's work because it doesn't match your vision of what is "Tholian." You butter it up in effort to hide it, but it is still blatant. I'm not sure where you're getting the rest of this from...

To set the record straight - I
NEVER dismissed Oleg's work. In truth, this is what I said about it:
Quote:
I wasn't dissin' Oleg, or his shipset. In point of fact, I said it was a good one. If you are looking for a crystalline shipset, it's great.
It just doesn't resemble the Tholians from the series, or have the same "character" as the remainder of the "Star Trek" shipsets. That's all.

I didn't butter anything up. I said
exactly what
I thought, given the venue I was talking about.
The entire "
theme" of the
Star Trek Mod, and of
AT's efforts in developing all the Race-specific shipsets for it, has been one of holding as faithful as possible to the
Star Trek universe. Each shipset he developed has been done with the thought in mind of trying to maintain the "
look & feel" of the ST series and movies. With this thought in mind,
in my personal opinion, the existing Tholian shipset, while both cleverly original and very good, does not maintain that specific "
look & feel" that so much effort has been put into.
So, when
AT asks
Quote:
Should I redo the tholian ship set?

I said yes, and
why I thought it was a good idea as well. I'm hardly the "
politically correct" type and not prone to "
buttering things up, as the conversations between you and I have demonstrated. I
am enthusiatic about my opinions, and don't hesitate to say so. I don't care if it is in opposition to someone else's opinion and I'm pleased if my viewpoints have a favorable outcome. Nothing wrong in saying what you feel and sticking to it, so long as you don't do so to be malicious. And I never was.
