The design for this ship is based on the Nebula class vessle, which has its
warp nascelles on the underside of the ship, and a sensor pod on top. You
can see one at the end of "Generations"

I did try this, but I couldn't get enough objects on the surface, all the
pipes just turned inside. I actually have nPipe=10000, which took quite a
while to parse. I think you might be able to control how many pipes go
inside with the #declare box_hole variable, but I couldn't get it to work.
Mr Tran?

I never noticed that about the Borg before! I must have been blind. I'll do
that in version 2.

Oh and lastly, you say that

The borg ship is actually huge (compared to mars in the background), and the
Harriman is actually very small, but because of the perspective in the
image, the Harriman looks bigger than it actually is (or the Borg ship looks
smaller, one or the other).

Anyway sorry for all

Don't worry, all the constructive criticism can only help me make my scenes
better.

Thanks,
