Lcars

Hi everybody! I just registered a little while ago and this is my first post.

Anyways, I was looking around the formus and i saw your LCARS thread -- all 89 pages of it near the top, and I thought to myself, OK, I'll skim through it, see what his stuff is like....

89 pages later.... I believe the most accurate decsription of my reaction is: awesome. With a side of awesome. "LCARS God" dosen't even begin to cover it. I do have a few comments/questions, though:

- The Romulan PADD from waaaay back looks a bit too much like the Starfleet padd. Perhaps it could have had a different shape to make it look a bit more "alien"?

- The Budapest MSD has a unique look to it, and I really like it, but I was wondering, what did you envision the rest of the console being shaped like?

- And lastly, the Starbase MSD. It seems to me that a Starbase's MSD would be too huge to fit on one panel, so I was thinking instead you could have a big, wall-sized screen (like NASA mission control), and the starbase schematic would be cut into sections and placed side-by-side (if that makes any sense).
I only mentioned it cause, from the size of the buttons, it looks like the MSD is about the size of a door, and considering those "little" towers at the top are the size of a small city, perhaps something a bit more...grand should be in order.

Anyways these are just minor quibbles, feel free to ignore them.
Tremendous work, and I can't wait to see what your next project will be.
