The STXI Enterprise... REFIT!

Meanwhile in the latest StarTrek Ongoing Comic (May2014) :techman:

This is a hack job on so many levels. a) IDW doesn't get references from Paramount/Bad Robot so they have to google them? What kind of contract is that? b) the "artist" googled the image and just slapped a couple of filters on it. c) it's not even an official image (quality of the artwork notwithstanding)
 
Great stuff MadMan1701A.......I just noticed you are from Milton....that's cool. I worked at NAS Whiting Field for 10 years. Keep up the great stuff man!
 
Thanks for posting that, that's actually really cool!
Well that's one way to look at it.

Well, it's kind of flattering, that they picked my image to steal from, I think. :)

What I do think is weird though, is why that image? The Enterprise definitely shouldn't look like that, in the comic.

Anyone else have the issue, that can post any other frames with the Enterprise in it?

those new pylons sure improve the overall flow of the design i think :)

Thanks. :) If you go back in the thread, you'll find the completed images of Endeavor and Challenger. :)

Yep, you would think they would have a ton of official renders to manipulate, if they needed to.

Thanks. :) That's cool, I know a bunch of guys that worked there in the past, and moved back here when they retired. I like it here, even though it's starting to get a little crowded. :)

Thought about it, but I don't really like the way that impulse engine looks... I feel like it's just too wide.

I'm actually hoping that there will be some more changes before Beyond comes out, before I build another model. :)

I hope so too, but the problem is that the people in charge think it looks great already...
 
Well, when you think about it, the bigger, single engine harkens back to the original single bar design. But this being JJTrek, bigger and more.
 
I think you agreed that you were going to also add some dorsal and ventral aft phaser banks.

Never got around to doing that?

Between that and the warp nacelles being practically the same on the Enterprise, I can't help but it to more of an upgrade than to the TMP refit.
