Will this new Enterprise become Enterprise-A or get a refit?

So, this new Enterprise is just called NCC-1701, but will it get an A attached to it? Will it ever get a refit?

Do you think it would be too soon to refit it to 1701-A by the next movie? Or should we wait like several movies/years before that happens.
 
Cause i'm a fan, I'm interested to know what people think about it. In-universe, if Kirk and them are going on a 5 year mission still then it is possible that after this mission they can do the refit. But because of the timeline change, what if they don't have a 5 year mission anymore, then will the Enterprise ever get her refit?
 
Hell, we don't even know if this Enterprise is a Constitution class.

Come to think of it, things would be easier for us tech-heads if it wasn't.
 
Anything could happen... honestly

This ship could get destroyed in the near future (or maybe not)... who knows


The old timeline isnt a template for the new one.
 
Why would it get an A refit or design change for the next film? Just to stick to the same ship FFS, we've had 2 hours of it and already you're thinking of swapping it for a new one!
 
Well my money is on the no anwser, for one we have no idea about much of this ship. It already has lcards, and I wouldnt be suprised to see isolinear or bio nureal gel packs aboard the ship even. The Phasers are already pulse phaser cannons, and the shields can take a beating from 24th century weapons. So no id say no need to refit her.

My logic is this, the Mirianda class recived refits, and still failed to protect itself prolonged from modern weapons. Id say this enterprise and a 24th Century Excelsior are a fair fight
 
I hope not. I hope that this ship sticks around and doesn't get blown up anytime soon.

The Enterprise should be allowed to become a character in the movies just like the people.

If they refit her for the next movie, or blow her up and give break out the -A, how will it ever have that chance?

i'm just thinking out loud at possibilities

i mean we know in the series it got a refit after the 5 year mission, but since we are in movie land now and not tv series land, that mission may never happen, or it may

if it never happens like originally, then the question would the ship get a refit might be interesting, cause it may not

yet, maybe by the next movie, or the third, it takes place after a few years in-universe and they have upgraded it, MAYBE even based on old Spock's knowledge
 
No bloody A, B, C, or D, for quite some time, I hope! If you like, we could show a redesigned bridge and have a line in the next movie, an homage to McCoy's in TMP, where Scotty says, "I'm an engineer. I love to change things!" Oh, and I'm hoping they call the new ship Enterprise-class! -- RR
 
Well refiting it would fit great though, i mean a cadet makes captian in 3 years, why not refit the ship in 2 years?
 
Would you think its too early for a re-design/refit to 1701-A by the next movie?

You don't need to assign it a letter to do a refit.

I mean the new design has grown on me, but if they were to swap out the nacelle struts with something that swept back, I wouldn't complain.

Brent, the NCC-1701 was refitted in ST:TMP and retained its original registry number. It was destroyed in ST III. In ST IV, a new Enterprise that looked like the old one, was commissioned with the registry number NCC-1701-A.

The NCC-1701 was never refitted to the NCC-1701-A.

Another thing is, Star Trek takes place in 2258. TMP takes place in the early-2270s of the Prime Timeline. Even if New Trek follows Prime Trek in that respect, it'll be ~15 years before the Enterprise would be refitted. They're not going to do a time-jump like that for ST XII.
 
I have a feeling this won't get a refit. I don't know what they could do to it to make it look more upgraded.

What would be cool is if they do a refit and its the TMP design.
 
To be honest, the new trek creators dont really care too much about the tech, and the ships. They design how it looks, not how it works.
not like old trek, where the design team actually make specifications and deck plans for the fans. NuTrek wont do this, because they are new people in charge. No sternbach or Probert. its not the same :(
 
It's a brand new ship so I don't see it getting refit type nacelles or anything different in the future.

Heck in this timeline it might survive a Star Trek III situation and stay with Kirk till he reaches his "Undiscovered Country" mission
 
I can see it getting refitted if it gets damaged majorly. But I really see no reason to. It's brand-new. Maybe on the second sequel. But it's way to early to be thinking of this. I guess it just shows how fickle we are haha. Personally I always wanted to see the E-J fleshed out better.

Exactly, though it does have scratched paint on the nacelles :D
