JJ Enterprise Tech Specs

[Nimitz CO]

Hi All,

I found these fan fiction websites and they have some great tech details on the new JJ Abrams Enterprise AKA Constitution Class, just thought I'd share the find with all of you.

Neat sites, but whoever made them seriously needs to work on their spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Yea, I got to give you that one, but you have to admire the imagination that went into the effort. Hell even Picard admitted that he could never spell (The Big Goodbye)

Hell even Picard admitted that he could never spell (The Big Goodbye)

And starfleet STILL made him CAPTAIN?

 

[Captain Robert April]

The character development was still in flux.

Plus, Starfleet's spellcheck program covers a multitude of grammatical sins.

 

[Praetor]

Some people just aren't good at written language, even if they are disproportionately good at speaking.

What do you expect? He's French.

 

[Omega_Glory]

I wonder how much of the tech is accurate.

 

[Crazy Eddie]

Except for the dimensions and the number of phasers, NONE of it; it's entirely made up.

I'm sure that fans will devote decades to nailing down some consensus on all of the technical aspects of this ship.

Well, at least the main viewer finally, demonstrably faces forward as opposed to being offset 36 degrees as it was in Jefferies' design.

Let's not open that can of beans again. There are plenty of people who think the bridge faces forward on the 1701 Classic.

And are swift to point this out whenever the offset is mentioned at all.

 

[Praetor]

To whom would you refer, Jitty?

Yeah, and Bernd over at ex-astris thinks the JJPrise is 300 meters long. Same diff.

 

[Captain Robert April]

To whom would you refer, Jitty?

Well, I certainly have no idea who he might be referring to.

Hopefully the forthcoming Hayne's manual will clear some of this stuff up a bit.

I thought you wouldn't.

Why would the NuPrise have a crew of 400? It's a lot bigger than the TOS enterprise, and even the Kelvin had 800 personnel

Well, not necessarily. A lot of them could've been refugees or crew to be dropped off at a new Starbase or something like that. It might've had a much smaller crew, more in-line with the numbers we'd expect in the Prime Universe.

Yeah, yeah, fanwank, I know. Whatever.

Well right now there is a lot of speculation over the size of the new Enterprise, one estimate puts it at 302 meters in length, but that is problematic when compaired to the TMP Enterprise, it makes the windows and the docking ports way too small, the other theory that places the windows and the docking ports in the same scale as the TMP Enterprise places it's size at 725 meters in length, which makes it longer than a Galaxy Class (642 meters) you can read about it further here: http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/new_enterprise_comment.htm

As far as the crew compliment is concerned, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not recall the crew complement of the Enterprise being mentiond in the new film, but one would assume, that the Kelvin being an older design (+21 years older than the Enterprise) signifigant advances have been made in technology during that span of time. As quoted in the movie, "the Enterprise is the most advanced vessel in the fleet". So as a result, the crew complement was reduced due to advances in automation of certain systems. This is something that we are now seeing with modern U.S. Navy vessels currently. so 400 personell is not that far fetched. As mentioned in an other post, I guess we'll just have to wait for Hayne's to publish there tech manual to be sure.

If the new ship is 700 plus meters long and only has 400 or so crew members, they must have large ass quarters.
