Here it is - no bloody "A", "B" "C" or "D"

I think it looks like shit in that image, but that alone won't keep me from watching the movie with an open mind.

 

[Tom Servo]

Well I see in the profile image I posted that in profile the engines are HUGE, much bigger then they appear in the first image. I agree with those who believe partially a bad angle for the first photo.

 

[Silversmok3]

Its a wise idea to reserve judgment until it hits the big screen.

For all we know this ship could be revised/redrawn/scrapped before the flick comes out next year.

Someone at hobby talk posted this profile:

This profile image actually puts the bussard collectors over the saucer, so that problem has been solved.

Which makes me like this design MUCH MUCH more.

That profile makes me much happier.

 

[Tom Servo]

Nice work, Tom Servo. As quickly as you churned that out, I bet it's the first fan rendering of the new Enterprise.

WIN!!

Well I must say though, I love how she looks in the profile pic I posted from hobby talk, and I might have to do a new sketch based on those proportions.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I didn't like the engineering section coming out so much, but looking at your profile pic, it does sort of balance it out a bit.

After a time, you may find that "having" is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as "wanting." It is not logical, but it is often true.

I like it. It is definitely different, but the more I examine it's features, the more it grows on me.

Hmm, one other thing I've noticed is that the underside of the saucer is flat. It doesn't dip inward like all the others have.

Interesting...

 

[Jackson_Roykirk]

nice ship but we can only hope "Star Trek" is ALOT better than Galaxy Quest.

I thought Galaxy Quest was an excellent movie, for what it was supposed to be...
...seriously

 

[Corran Horn]

I like it. It'll be nice to see her in action.

It's not a bad new ship design. It's not the Enterprise, but as a different ship, I could accept it.

Well, at least the wings don't flap... (sigh)

 

[MattJC]

It sucks.

My first reaction was a little mixed, but not nearly so much so as when I first saw a magazine photo of Picard's Enterprise - and I got to like that one real quickly.

And yeah - while this fits several of the descriptions I'd heard of what the ship would look like, it's much better than what I pictured based on those descriptions...

I haven't weighed through all the other posts yet, but bell rings on Polaris's post for me. When I saw Ent-D the first time, I thought WTF? But I really came to appreciate the ship over time. It had it's own grace and beauty. It just took me a while to discover it and appreciate it on its own terms.
Same here. My first reaction is ambivalent. It's good. A- maybe. After all, the Enterprise and Enterprise-A were tough cookies to improve upon. Almost any angle with them is a beauty shot. They convey both power and grace. This time, I think they went more with power over grace in the Enterprise. Not the balance I'd have chosen. But OK. A Camero over a Corvette.

Yeah, needs a ginormous prow on the saucer, right?

The main difference was that all of those other ships were supposed to be OTHER SHIPS. This is supposed to be "what the original ship really looked like." And in that light... nope... doesn't work.

 

[CaptainDonovin]

Cary - The wings may not flap but do the nacells rotate?

Nope, the original Enterprise never had one.

Of course, it if was supposed to be a new ship... why not?

I am not liking what I see but what do I know! For my Star trek died after TMP!
