Other ships in Star Trek...

[Warped9]

In some respects Klaatu's ship as it appeared onscreen in 1951 is pretty much in keeping with the TOS aesthetic. Its clean and straightforward design alligns nicely with TOS' minimalist approach to design. Indeed, just like in the film, the simplicity of the design adds to the ship's sense of mystery and magical sophistication.

I thought it was more similar to the Jupiter Two from Lost in Space myself!

Forgetting ENT could something like this have been in TOS' past?

I'm giving that some thought.

The Leif Ericcson Galactic Cruiser would have been a good match.. designed by Matt Jefferies himself!!

 

[Warped9]

^^ Well STC used it in one of their episodes.

Looks like a Federation pursuit ship from Blakes 7 to me! Does it travel at time distort ten by any chance?

I'll gladly forget about ENT but what of the early Federation ships pictured in the books? You know the sphere and the tube with two nacelles! They looked great to me!

Do you happen to know which one?

I may have added a slightly Trekified version to my "personal canon".

 

[Warped9]

STC Ep. 2, "Lolani." The ship belonged to an Orion trader.

I think something like the C57D could have been seen in TOS as either a small contemporary ship or as something from the late 21st to early 22nd century as different configurations and systems for warp drive were experimented with.

One has to shift the Forbidden Planet timeline by a century and a half at least to make it fully compatible with the Trek one. Regardless, NCC-57D there could well be an early Federation vessel from the 22nd century, still without them newfangled transporters or long range subspace transceiver sets.

Possibly not a Starfleet vessel but a civilian police cruiser? This would explain the uniforms without the arrowheads, and the fact they serve the United (Federation of) Planets rather than its specific Starfleet. Their humble ship is tasked with a simple "delayed SAR" errand, something Starfleet generally spits upon ("The Cage"). And they fumble that big time, mistaking Altair IV for a goner just because there's a big flash.

A few decades later, surplus ships of that now outdated type are of course sold to foreign interests, including certain felinoids... NCC-57D remains in service till the 2370s, though.

This is from the movie AARU Dr. Who and the Dalek Invasion of Earth- the Dalek saucer. It heavily reminds me of the Kzinti ship from the animated episode, "The Slaver Weapon".

 

[Warped9]

I am presently considering a mild redesign of the C57D with the idea of how it might have worked in TOS, but also how it could have been a bit more credibly detailed in the original film.

 

[Lord Other]

Were you thinking of keeping it to the same scale as the original C57D or rescaling it to be a larger vessel?

Same scale.
