USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

[Mirror Mirror]

I didn't mind the Hull detail but overall, I don't think it would fit. Also, I don't get why the nacelle pylons have windows.

I do like this design though:

Those three windows in the front need to go. I heard they are not windows, but they look like 60's windows. Change that, the Nacells an the texture and not bad. Although I would like to see its claimed 7 torpedo tubes.

Round windows are still a thing with modern technology.

Oh Trek fans and their ridiculous amounts of torpedo tubes.

This is probably closet i could find to my 'head-design' of a discovery style constitution. What sort of look/design would you want to see?

The three round "windows" on the Enterprise's saucer section are supposed to be sensor nodes projecting beams forward of the ship, at least that's the explanation I've heard. The Lexington as seen in "The Ultimate Computer(TOS)" has a different array of sensor nodes but it also has several or more round "windows" in the same location.

I always wondered what that part of the ship was. I always thought it was an observation lounge.

The show shows one Aft, and talks of 4 forward. It has at lest 5. The other sources always say 7. I mean we see at lest 2 forward, where the others are heck if anyone knows. people are still trying to find the phasers.

That wasn't the point. The point was that the poster above was trying to argue that CBS did something illegal by their claim of "false advertising" that DSC takes place in the prime universe when IMHO it doesn't. As if CBS telling a lie to get more viewers was akin to them selling drugs or stealing cars.

False advertising is illegal in some places (Sony and it’s claims for Vita PS3 remote play, I think, ran into this and they got fined.) but it’s all down to definitions of ‘advertising’ and how that being untrue pans out or is brought court. In this case...no, I don’t think it would pan out. In the Khan case...hmm..well, you would have to define press junkets as advertising (not that hard) and find a group of fans willing to go to court on the fact that they suffered some kind of harm by seeing a film with Khan in (these days, that may not be so hard xD) and then, somehow balance the logical defence of ‘maintaining a plot twist’. It would be a very silly day in court if it ever got going, though again...these days..in some parts of the world...it wouldn’t be a stretch. One for judge Judy.

It's either the lounge from Star Trek V but with round windows, or it's a spare deflector like the NX-01, but with a mostly covered-over front.

The three round windows/lights is one of the things that absolutely must stay.

Just no.

 

[Tuskin38]

Yeah none of the advertising campaigns said it was prime Universe, it was just producers/writers in interviews or on convention panels.

"Ten years before Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise"

 

[Tuskin38]

"Ten years before Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise"

Doesn't say which universe though

 

[dahj]

Doesn't say which universe though

The other Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise are only two years away

 

[cooleddie74]

And in the future.

 

[jaime]

Just no.

Hey it’s not like I support the crazy things in the world, I can just see how it would be possible. With the afore mentioned ‘ten years’ ad, there’s no denying it was in some way part of the ad campaign. We live in a strange world now, with some odd people in it....
The Axanar thread went on for volumes, imagine a lawsuit over this? It would be a mammoth waste of time, but it’s not hard to imagine.

They could have just created a third universe that is based on Prime.

I can’t think of anything else that has ever done that on screen. (No, before Michael Keaton and Adam West get brought in here, adaptations don’t count. Which technically rules out Logan too.) You generally only only hear of one ‘reboot’ being a thing, and even the KT goes to lengths to make it not actually a reboot. (Which would mean if it is a reboot, it’s the only one, and not therefore unusual. It would however make it a reboot within a year of the previous continuity, which is also unusual, to borrow a phrase from NHK cooking programs ‘outside of Japan.’)

Round windows are still a thing with modern technology.

If anything, round windows should show up more often in space. Corners have more stress on them when pressurized and are liable to break, as we found out early in the jet age, when square-windowed de Havilland Comets immediately started falling out of the sky after being introduced.

 

[cooleddie74]

That's one thing to like about the NX-class starships of the 22nd century. Lots of round windows or oblong ones with rounded corners. Not a lot of 90 degree angles on the windows of those vessels.
