No offense to y'all, but I wanted to do a space combat pic in the Romulam War Era that was a little more.... "feasible". Engagements would be at VERY long ranges (you'd probably never see your adversary as anything more than a moving spec on the starry background) and ships would not cluster as a well placed nuke could easily take out an entire task force. If anything these ships are STILL too close for combat conditions.

One of the reasons the SFM Romulan War Era designs appeal to me is that they remind me of the ship designs from the comic Erma Felna [link] - one of the best/most realistic starship battle depictions in a visual medium. I guess this images is a little reminiscent of this: [link] . So consider this a V2.0 :D

Models and textures by Dave Metlesits [link] , ship design by Masao Okazaki [link] .

Ouch! I can just hear a silent BOOOM!!! :D

I wouldn't worry about too much mate, from my POV no one has done the Romulan War correctly and everyone keeps forgetting there should be a Klingon War before it. :(

If an antimatter reactor blows up in space and there are no trees to hear it, does it make a noise?

It's all relative I guess! :D

Actually, the no sound in space thing is not entirely accurate, if a space ship was to blow up and it's atmosphere vent into space, in that expanding curtain of air you'd have sound. :)
