    I found this image a few moments ago which is being advertised as a possible first full view of the new enterprise from Trek XI. Judge for yourselves at the link below

    I stumbled across this picture (one that I haven't seen before; and couldn't find here on the forums) on a website that I frequently visit. I am skeptical as to whether or not this is going to be the official look of the new Enterprise, but nevertheless, I thought I would share this find with you folks here and see what you can make of it. Personally, I dont think it is the official look of the Enterprise, but I will concede that whatever the case, the photo is extremely well done. Props to whoever made it :bolian:

    Sorry, no -- that looks like the Koernerprise, putting in yet another appearance here. It's a nice model, but it's not got anything to do with the movie.

    Nope, this has been floating around for at least a year. Not the Enterprise.

    TrekBBS, apparently
    Koerner's ship has none of the sleekness and beauty of the Enterprise. The warp nacelles in particular are way too bulky.

    The glimpses of the Abrams-version we got in the trailer look like it will be much more loyal to the original design.

    I think the nacelles look pretty good in the top down view.

    But they definately look 'meh' on the side and front view.

    I think it looks more like the ship seen in the teaser than Gabe's.

    That's definitely Gabe Koerner's Enterprise.

    As for that conjecture one, I think they've changed more than just the nacelles. The rest of the ship will probably be a little bulkier, too.

    Yeah, that is probably my favorite Gabe Koerner-E image.
    Man that guy is good.
    As far as the thing I did, I think you're right on track. The secondary hull looks better when "bulked up" like TMP design. When I did this, one of my "rules" was to stay as close to the shape and proportion of TOS saucer and 2nd hull as possible, apart from obvious reveals in the trailer. (This was keeping with descriptions from various sources that kept repeating things like "the rest of the ship looks like TOS, wth TMP texturing, and the nacelles are bigger/more aerodyanmic/more "organic"???"...) So yeah. I have no doubt a year from now the ship we see on screen will so different than all of this that...well, I'll probably be deleting alot of old image files:)

    I have seen the enterprise from XI,it's alot like koener's work with the nacelles slanted back like st:TMP and fins at the back of nacelles more prominent.
    What I really want to see is,the ship in action.
