Losing the Peace: Destroyed 1701-E?

Ah, k then. I misunderstood what you were saying, I thought you were saying all of them were new until NEM. My bad, sorry.
 
I just want to say how wasteful I think it is that they had to go and blow up a Sovereign class starship to get that photo for the cover, to say nothing of the innocent millions who were killed to get the bombed-out city photo for A Singular Destiny.
 
I like the cover very very very much. It's not finished but the idea is awesome.

The designer has already put a great deal of details into the cover,
from the shadows of the (yet to become perfect) pens and the veins of the hands
over the very detailed crowd to the rain and the broken nacelles.

It's one of the best cover's I've seen so far. So why don't we wait until the
FINALISED cover is released and give that dude a little more time to work on
the cover before we bash it?

Sorry if I appear touchy in this subject but as a graphic designer myself,
I hate to release work that's not yet finished.
 
I suppose the question here is: was it released prematurely, or was this intended as the final image that he or she was then told to go retouch. If this was just a WIP that was inadvertently released to the public, then yeah, I feel bad for the artist as well. The atmosphere of the image is good.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman
 
Why is Captain Picard wearing a pair of jeans and a badly photoshopped jumper? and where's his com-badge?

And why does he appear so well endowed?

Q owed him a favor.

Those poor people Damn you cover designers damn you all to hell!

So has it been confirmed if the big E will actually bite the dust?

I don't know who's joshing and who's asking seriously anymore, so...

The Enterprise-E comes through LtP 100% intact -- far better than Mack left her at the end of Destiny. The cover image is not to be interpreted as conveying any plot specifics, other than the fact that Picard and Worf do appear in the book.

Cheers for that as I was asking seriously. I very rarely do humour in real life let alone online where it has more potential to blow up in my face.
 
Okay, but then why wasn't the A an Excelsior design?

Because that wouldn't have provided a suitably nostalgic finish for The Voyage Home.

In-universe, because the Excelsior was still a prototype at the time, the only ship of its class and still in the test phase. The class probably didn't go into regular production for at least another year or two.
 
I never denied that some sets were recycled. But the person I was responding to was under the mistaken impression that all the Enterprise-E sets were simply redresses of the Voyager sets.

Actually, I knew that the E-E's bridge was not a redress of Voyager's, but the rest of the ship looked that way to me. Maybe I just wasn't clear.
 
I don't and wouldn't miss it if it was destroyed. The Enterprise-D should never have been lost. And the E should have been an identical replacement, just as the A was.
No, really, it shouldn't have, and the evidence is Star Trek Generations. The TNG sets looked like absolute shit on a big screen (which is why they darkened the sets so much, to cover that up). There are few ways in which Voyager was superior to TNG, IMO, but one way in which the later show left it in the dust was in its set and set design. The VOY sets were far more sophisticated than those of TNG.
