Rich, Rich, Rich... pipe laden old refineries make excellent star ships (ref. "Alien").


Nope, Tom, ain't going for it. As I remember it, "Alien" was pipes, but in tight, close corridors, which led to a claustrophobic effect, and believable space ship design. On the Enterprise, it as a huge warehouse looking thing, with monstrous pipes and catwalks.
