Atoz, I've said it before, but I really like that site. Thanks.

Time for the Romulans. They don't have that many designs, so I won't do it like the Federation ships. Here goes:
"Firebird": Outstanding. If this gets redone JJPrise-style we may see one of the greatest ships of all time. I love the bird painting. The lines are flared where they need to be for the greatest "Predator" effect.
D'Deridex: You look at it, and you shake in your boots. A giant green eagle is coming to get you!
The Scimitar: Seeing as Nemesis was actually a dream Wesley had on peyote, the Scimitar never existed. It was cool looking, though.
The D-7: Didn't do much for me. It looks fine for the Klingons, but not so great as a Romulan ship.

I used to have a model of the old Warbird class (but I left it behind when I moved). I still think that's the neatest looking.
The D'Deridex just looks wrong to me, that huge area of wasted space in between the hulls. (In a novel William Shatner wrote, a ship flew into that space, spun around, and just gutted the ship! )
I agree that the Scimitar was an ugly looking thing. But then it was probably supposed to be, since the Remans were ugly.

I like that there's an entire race of Art-Deco aliens.

I never thought of it that way before, but you've got a good point.

I liked the old Romulan War-Bird class better than the new! I always like that bird of prey painted on the bottom of the hull!! Some of the smaller Romulan ships from the next generation era were good looking ships. The D'deridex class looked OK. I agree with Atoz in there being too much empty space inside of it.

Yeah, the only logic that I can see in that is maybe they needed that empty space to keep things away from the black hole engine? Still doesn't make sense, I suppose.

The empty space inside of the Romulan Warbird could be explained by the quantum singualrity...aka black hole for their warp drive, but this doesn't explain why their smaller ships don't have empty space inside of them. The forced quantum singularity could be a miniature black hole. They never really said much about it or how large it was.

I guess it just goes back to culture. They like raptors so they made their ships resemble raptors. Coming soon, Klingon ships.

In the meantime, what about Cardassians? Their ships look like sharks or something.

I never was very impressed with the look of Cardassian ships! I like the look of Klingon ships much better
