What exactly makes the fan renderings any better than this one, also I highly doubt this was done spur of the moment.
I'd be willing to bet that just about any fan would be more than happy to sign their baby away for the honor of being the designer of The New Enterprise.
It's not the willingness.. It the how much they'd want for compensation. No Artist in their right mind gives away their art just for a Byline...
I got that vibe too. On one hand there are the primary colour uniforms, on the other, the sculpted lines of the movie era ship, with the aztec panelling.
Church is a professional, I guarantee he spend quite a lot of time on the design with various changes made along the way. It's not like he did this thing on a napkin while having drinks at the bar.
Oh shit, was it? Well you know what I mean anyway, it wouldn't have been spur of the moment.
I think I'd agree with that. I don't want to branded with the mark of the Basher, but I'm a little disappointed by it... I was really hoping for a TMP style ship, but keeping the nacelles of the original. I'm not wild about the "underbite" look caused by the deflector sticking out so far forward either. Hmm, I'll probably get used to it, but first impressions are a bit 'meh'. (I've so far remained on the fence about the iBridge - it does fit in with this new design though).
I haven't read all 17 pages, so forgive me if this has been mentioned already, but... IS THAT A BIT OF BLUE I SEE ON THE NACELLES?!
I agree, I'm a TNG fan, causal fan of TOS but I wasn't expecting the new ship to be compact. I was expecting some like below, but I'll give it a shot never know it is supposed to be a reboot there might be changes to the ship in the following movie for all we know
Madkoifish's designs:
Also for your viewing pleasure, Vektor's designs (subtle changes yet very detailed)
Christ. Calm yourself.It has to be said: What an ugly piece of shit! Look what they've done to our beautiful lady. Matt Jefferies is hanging his head in disgust somewhere up there.
And reading those spoilers of scenes and indications of characterization nails it that this has zero to do with our beloved TOS. To which I am eternally grateful to the Lord Almighty.

Seconded.
And once again these designs have the same underlying glaring weaknesses. The stick thin Pylons, the exposed conduits. Yes great fan updates but they don't make the ship look any more realistic, or any more survivable in a battle.

Awesome!
This is what the new design does for me, too. When it boils down to, "Which ship would be better in a myriad of situations, including battle?"

As much as I like the new version of the Enterprise I do think it would have made a great Enterprise-B too, I can definitely see a passover from the A-C in its design, much more so than the Excelsior-class B.

Seconded.
He's posted exactly the same thing in a few threads already.. We GET it.
You don't like it. Big surprise there.
I'm 45 now, and have had Trek in my life since the TOS began showing on TV again in syndication. So, I'm a lifelong fan of the highest order, and have supported Trek through all of it's various permutations. I have earned my right to voice those opinions, and would like to now--but I know after reading some of the comments here, that I will be shunned simply because I'm new to this forum and don't have hundreds of posts under my belt yet.
So I'm "new"--and new means change, or something different, something to be feared--and that really seems to frighten or even enrage some of the posters here. Change is NOT neccessarily bad, something different that pays homage to what has come before is not the work of the Devil, and to be feared and despised at any and all costs. Are you Trek fans or not? Does the philosophy behind the concept mean nothing to some of you? IDIC, anyone?
After reading most of the comments here, I'm really floored at just how incredibly close-minded and anal some of the posters are. Really virulent
haters, in my opinion. And over what? The nacelles look different, or the
main deflector dish sticks out "too far"? Gimme a flipping break! The re-imagined Enterprise is beautiful to behold! At least we HAVE a new Enterprise to drool over and wonder about--at least there is some new TREK on the way!! But that's not enough for some. No, some of you would rather get into shouting matches over 3 digit registry numbers vs. the established "cannon" of 4 numbers. There is simply no pleasing some people, I guess.
The refit (movie) Enterprise was different than the original, and you survived. So who cares if they have some big bucks, some renewed studio interest, and have updated and streamlined the old girl a bit? Chillax, people.
If they happen to show a washroom in STXI, some of you will be howling
because they never showed Uhura or Bones taking a dump on national television in 1969--so therefore toilets cannot exist in the Trek universe because it's against "cannon". That's how ridiculous some of you are. THAT is how small-minded and petty some of the posters here are, at least in my opinion. So get bent.
I LOVE TREK, and I say (and agree) that some of you really do need to get a life, kiss a girl, and move out of your parents' basements. Everyone has a right to his/her opinion, but sweating such small details and flaming
off on each other and the new movie before the trailer is even out just strikes me as so sad. Some new Trek is on the way, and you act like it's the end of the world.
