Bah. You know the creators of DITL don't know anything right?

Anyway I do agree with you, that Danube in the background looks too big.

The foreground one is what's looking too big to me. The front of it's sitting pretty close to the NX's saucer. Hell, look at the Argo near by then back to the Runabout. That thing is waaaaaay too big.

While we're nitpicking at the scale, the shuttle and runabout at the back don't seem to match up to me.

It's also kind of weird how big the Danube in the background is compared to the Type 9.

I think I am going to look for a high resolution version of this so I can photoshop it to see how everything looks, when altered.

Well, it was pleasant to read you... but when reading that, I thought that Destiny looked like a poorly executed New Jedi Order when post Nemesis Star Trek was a great place for stories with Cardassians trying to rebuild and the politcal chaos of Romulan and Remans leadings to Romulus destruction in 2387, making that trilogy less interesting than Star Trek Online ^^ But I'll try to find them here and read them, to have my own opinion.

But yeah I know some peoples will be angry because of that but Vongs where exactly the same, a peaceful galaxy hardly shaken... But enjoyable when 10 years old and still far more enjoyable than all the killik story arc, but not offering enough evidences to what happend next: Darth Caedus.

I will take Destiny over any of the Star Wars with only a select few like the Thrawn trilogy being the exception.

I think that is the main problem many have with the Destiny and post Destiny books. Its feels fake to people. Not true Trek. Unfortunately we will never see a Prime verse live action show again.

Hm. I actually don't think the post-Destiny books feel fake at all. Yes, Destiny was a bit rushed but it needed to happen to get to all the good stuff (in terms of universe development) that came next.

Oh, go right ahead. But for me they SUCK! and killed SW for me.
