Conflict or Lax SpecFX Work?
Does anyone else notice a conflict here? It's already been stated that there is a Celestra emulation in the TNS's fleet. (Examine Here) The emulation looks exceptionally like the old Celestra, and supposedly has the name Celestra already on the CGI model. If this is the case, then why is this ship the Striker? Is Striker a call-sign or handle, or is this the name of the ship? I highly doubt that there are two of this ship type in the fleet, as in the old series, this ship was described as being a unique para-military "work" ship, skippered by a one-time military captain. Yes, it sounds like I'm nitpicking, and this might be a petty point, except I get quite... "frustrated" at what can be none other than laziness and miscommunication amongst TPTB on this series. -- Hawke 21:57, 29 January 2006 (EST)
- When I watched the episode, I thought that Striker was a callsign, but Kat was the one pilotting it, so Striker wouldn't be her callsign. I just doubt the possibility of the Colonial Fleet having an unimaginative name like 'Striker' for a ship. It's strange to me, but barring future episode mentions, Striker will have to stay as the ship name. --Ltcrashdown 00:03, 30 January 2006 (EST)
- The raptor pilot was Emmitt "Sweetness" Jones, but your point stands. --Peter Farago 00:05, 30 January 2006 (EST)
