Size Of The New Enterprise (large images)

There are olives on my pizza!

Now that's just wrong!

914m (2998+ ft)is over half a mile so this New Enterprise is bigger than an modern day Aircraft carrier?

This is a problem for you? The modern supertanker Knock Nevis is 456m long. That's also longer than a modern aircraft carrier such as the U.S.S. Enterprise. In fact, Wikipedia lists 60 ships that are longer than the 300m uper limit touted by some in this thread.

Why is it impossible that an imagined starship is an imagined 700m long? Perhaps it needs to be that big to achieve the new imagined speeds of new imagined sub-space.

I don't know if anyone has spoke about it before, but it seemed to me that Pike and crew made the trip from Earth to Vulcan in a very short time. The distress call received on Earth said Vulcan was experiecning seismic activity - effects of Narada's drilling. When Enterprise arrived in orbit, Narada was still drilling. Considering how quickly the process was moving along when Nero starting to kill Earth, I estimate the flight to Vulcan took about one hour, or two hours are most.

Are we going to get bent over this because Scotty told Spock in TMP he could have him back on Vulcan in four days or some such? My gawd! Warp speeds are absolute! They're destroying canon! My friends are weird and I don't laid enough! There are olives on my pizza! The whole damned world is falling to pieces. Oh, the humanity!

I don't have a problem at all, just asking.

Oh... than please disregard my rant... heh heh heh...

Can you answer my query about the Nu warp speeds?

O lock it please... this is a thread about size not how fast this thing is...
besides... we've rehashed this over, and over, and over, and 88 pages over again....

By the power invested in me by this post number, I declare the Enterprise to be ~700 something meters long.

LOL, this is classic...I do declare this thread has decided that the ship is over 700 meters in my opinion, no more debating on my part.....but I will continue to believe in private its both in the movie and cross my fingers hoping against hope it will somehow be smaller, lol...in reality I don't care so much anymore, well done sir. Wish I had been paying more attention to this thread

I have been following both forums from the start.

Grats Mangledduk, I am just soooo proud.... and yes I am Mark on the other forum

Gonzo

hahah, I knew that was you Mark! You know whats funny, there really is no need to be so proud, I said all along that they showed it in both sizes. And I didn't care. It is fun to flame the fires a little bit though with some healthy debating Plus I actually enjoyed looking at all the different charts, I still hope it turns out to be 366 meters or my personal favorite number of 470, but I'm not going to go fuming at the ears if it turns out to finally be over 700 meters I'll just have to ignore that whole construction scene and pretend like the people walking around on the hull were ten foot tall robots

There are three types of people on this thread:

Person A:
I hate this ship! The size is wrong! There is only ONE 1701 and it’s the one from TOS and it’s 300 meters long!!! Thus this one MUST be 300 meters long or canon is dead! The windows! The escape pod! The bridge dome!

Person B:
The ship is 700+ meters long because the FX people made it that way. It’s a reboot and they can make it however big they want! Person A is dumb not to notice that these numbers are coming FROM THE PEOPLE WHO DID THE FX ON THE FILM – thus it must be 718 meters long!!! Big windows! The brewery! The shuttlebay! JayJay!

Person C:
I don’t care how big the ship is, I just like listing to you all raving about it.

Person C has an opinion of the size of the ship, but won’t bat an eyelid if he turns out to be wrong. But he posts it anyway, increasing the fury of the Person A’s or Person B’s, depending on his choice, which may change up to three times a week.

LOL, I do think I might be a Person C....guilty

I believe you're being redundant.

I prefer the Enterprise being a bigger size.

Big is good!

Tell it to JackTheGiantKiller.

366 meters is pretty god damn big!

If scaling it up makes it cooler, why not make it the size of a small moon?

There's a pretty big difference between twice a pesent day aircraft carrier & the Death Star, don't you think?

 

[JuanBolio]

But being bigger makes a thing cooler, right?

Silly silly British man.

Well, women always say size doesn't matter... as long as it's big enough.

Haven't you been advocating exactly that for months, where weapons yield is concerned? More boom is better?

I'm curious: why do you assume that Bolio is British? And what has that got to do with the size of the Enterprise?

I was responding to his comment with a quote from Andrew to Giles in the final episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I guess it was a little bit of a vague reference.

Just call me the Burninator.

'Tis a problem with obscure references. There's a lot of Buffy I haven't seen, though I did see that ep when it aired the first time. Guess the line didn't stick with me.

Right you are, Trogdor.

Whoah! Good one!

That's the main point of advancing a weapons system, greater yield. But building something bigger w/o a SPECIFIC objective sounds like the point of advancing a fabrication company's agenda. Is Starfleet in this goof-a-verse run by the LooksLikeMetalCeramics Company?

I'm sensing here that you have some issues with Abram's movie...

No, for YEARS. Not better in and of itself, just more accurate as far as what the technology is supposed to be. Photon torpedos are uber-nukes and should be treated that way, at least when "maximum yield" is specified. Hand phasers are capable of blowing up a sizable chunk of a mountain.

I just like consistency.

If you like consistency, you must hate Star Trek.
