I think that image is just a cleaned and blown up version of the one from back in the day which I also have somewhere on a drive. The original scan was never that great to start with.
Dude, that would be fire.
Is there a name for the ring one?From EM Special 6
I mean the specific design with the ring. Like a class, I guess. Something to search for for more info.
I still don't understand why the producers back then didn't call it the Enterprise class.
Does anyone else dig the little fins on the Intrepid?
Also I think the Warp Delta is a design that absolutely rocks. Feels like a midstep between the Alpha, Intrepid, and NX.

Agreed. I don’t like nacelle fins normally but they look good on the Intrepid. Would be great to have the Intrepid and Warp Delta in STO. I got a bunch of them as Eaglemoss models, labelled up with bobmat343‘s decals.
I like how the Warp Delta is like a synergy between space shuttle (incl. OV-165), Phoenix and NX class/betas.
I'll jump in on the Warp Delta love and post a few more pics. It's definitely a beautiful design. It's simplicity is one of its best features. Would have loved to have seen it in action during the Romulan War.
Plus, I kinda like this concept ship from John Eaves.
Going by the bridge, it's definitely a smaller ship. I like to think of itvas being a Romulan War high speed Interceptor.

You mean those fins that serve no purpose whatsoever because the ship was meant to fly in space and not in the air?

Yeah, I kinda wish they had used this design instead of the Intrepid-type, since that was basically just a kitbash of NX parts with sections cut out of them. This one is a bit more original, like the Warp Delta.
Yeh. Rocking that look.

Now I gotta check if the Warp Delta's appear in the RW novels. I feel like they do, but for the life of me I can't remember.
Fair enough, although the 'kewl' factor in starship design never really resonated with me.
Trek ships are by their nature cool.
Except for the Ambassador. Fat ass looking ship goddamn embarrassment to the bloodline.
:P
Oh, you kids and your newfang slangThere's a difference between 'cool' and 'kewl.'
;D ;D
As for the ERW, the ship is given the class Ganges, but I don't see any reference to them fighting in the war. Weird.
That's fair. In the Rise of the Federation novel A Choice of Futures, it's explained that the Intrepid class was a 'lean and mean' version of the NX. In that context, the purpose of the fins is as heat dissipators. The early warp technology is a work in progress, hence the thicc nacelles, compact ship shape, and heat dissipators.
Nice to see a thread dedicated to these! I didn’t really vibe with Enterprise’s CGI ship designs when the show was originally airing, but years later when Eaglemoss started putting these out as models, they quickly became some of my favorites. For some reason whenever they released a ship from Enterprise it usually ended up being one of their best made models with the most interesting and intricate details.
Apart from the NX-01 (both the original one and the “refit”, which I sometimes feel I’m the only one like it), I have a real soft spot for the Intrepid, that’s already been posted.
And also the SS Conestoga, which might look a little bulky, but for some reason has that sense of realism about it. That command center section looks so damn cool …
Thanks for this! I just dusted off my old xbox 360 and popped in Star Trek Legacy (best 2006 xmas present) to give it another go - This is one of the ship classes available. At first, I thought it was some kind of freighter.
There is also the NX, Daedalus, Intrepid, and a few others including a battlecruiser called Yorktown class - probably closest in the game's ENT era to an ENT Connie class
