And when DSC can't even match its own production design...wow. 
USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?
- Thread starter EJD1984
- Start date
Heretic. Those are the best part of the design!
BLUE WARP NACELLES 2: BUSSARD COLLECTOR BOOGALOO.
I don't understand why they were introduced for one shot to not do anything, especially since in a couple scenes, a key dramatic moment in the episode would turn on the fact that someone needed to pull a lever and lock themselves into a room with a bomb. Use one of the robots to drop the blast door! Explain why the robot can't, at least, or even better, don't introduce robots that aren't going to make any difference to anything right before you're going to do something where a robot would be super-helpful.
Kirk really was trying to get rid of him.
Yep. That was just bizarre.
They might have had a little extra money left over in the CGI budget at the end of the season, so they put it to work.
I don't mind it.
Maximilian had a human inside though.
Supposedly it was the First Officer of the Cygnus.
All of the Cygnus 'robots' had humans inside, that was Reinhardt's modus operandi.
Even S.T.A.R., he was supposedly the Security Chief of the ship.
The character's didn't really dwell on that fact except for the one 'reveal' scene because it was a "kid friendly" movie.
But the book had a lot more detail about it.

It was more about the shape. Maximilion without the "legs" isn't that far off.
Maybe instead of 'bussards' we should start calling them 'cabochons'....'cause there is a lot of resemblance with the 1988 'Pewterprise':
I sold mine off before the bad pylons made the nacelles too saggy.

Sounds like the original AMT kit. They had to have angled nacelles, the straight ones are too weak, even in space.
This is what tended to happen to the pewter ones:
That must have been the inspiration for the Kelvinprise.This is what tended to happen to the pewter ones:
The pewter nacelles were quite heavy and the pylons just couldn't support them very well. Mine was starting to sag, so I sold it off. You could bend the pylons quite easily, but it didn't take long whenever you straightened them back up for the sag to start again, because of the weight of the nacelles.
It makes me wonder if their prototype was any different....
Or Cialis.
Because that's the original TOS arrowhead design or a very close approximation of it. One of the retro TOS things about the DSC Enterprise that the producers got right.
