I like the new ship alot, with just one exception - the arched nacelle struts.
In a way it?s kinda cool and very retro - in that in profile view the ship seems to have straight up and down struts much like the originals, and unlike the TMP refit?s very slanted struts.
However, front-on the curvature puts me off a bit.
Make mine Sumatra, with a dash of Half-and-Half.Like I said before, it doesn't look like the Enterprise, it looks like a parody of the Enterprise.
You can repeat that again, but it's still not true.
I think we need to put the forum on auto-bitch and go for coffee.
It's not - the L shaped ones look bad too imo.I like the new ship alot, with just one exception - the arched nacelle struts.

Yeah, the whole dislike of curved nacelle pylons is a head-scratcher for me.
So, how is it more acceptable to have an abrupt 90 degree l-shaped pylon, but not one with a gentle curve to it?
The Excelsior has the l-shaped pylon, as does the Enterprise C.
Hey, wait a tick...
Would you please check out the TOS Enterprise/NuTrek Enterprise comparison in post 5?

Look at the bridge domes... Assuming that they both have the same diameter (although I very much guess that the nuTrek Enterprise's bridge is even bigger than the TOS Enterprise's), then the primary hull of the nuTrek Enterprise must be MUCH bigger than the TOS Enterprise's!!!
That may be true. The Engineering deck, which is apparently essentially rows of brewery tanks, probably takes up most of that space.
That's why I've been saying the NU-ENTERPRISE is much ''BIGGER'' then TOS Version, it has ''GOT'' to be for the shape of this ship to make sense!

^ Is it my imagination, or is that somebody looking out of the dome? DANG! how ''SMALL'' is this ship?By the way...

The dome of the bridge seems to be transparent, doesn't it? Somehow it reminds me of the beginning of 'The Cage'.
Is it my imagination, or is that somebody looking out of the dome?![]()
^Maybe it's one ''O'' them ''Fish-eye'' dome's? so everything is all Wibly-Wobly?Is it my imagination, or is that somebody looking out of the dome?![]()
The shadow seems to be too big to be a man or a woman, compared to the windows at the base of the bridge dome.![]()
Wow! The bridge is ''MUCH'' smaller on the outside, then it is on the INSIDE!![]()
