Sorry, but the NuEnt Engineering Hull is Phail

[Curtis SWN]

I think JJ's Enterprise is beautiful, a trekkies dream; except for that sliced out engineering section. You could have packed so much more cool stuff in there: bowling allies, motocross arenas, handball courts, for gods sake!

Did JJ think that was too much space already in the Ent?

Starship design has come along way since 1964, the NuEnt is great except for that inverted bunny hill underneath.

It may look sleeker somehow, but 5 years out there on the frontier don't you need some space for storage?

I RELLY could not agree more! the ship would be prefect to me, If it wasn't for that LOOOOOOOOOONNNGGGGG fantail look!

I don't mind that- I just think now that the primary hull is a *little* too far back. Kinda looks strange from an overhead/rear 3/4 view.
But, I'm nit-pickin'.

It sucks plan and simple to me!

Specify.

Yeah, but come on - you think the Enterprise "E" is attractive.

I don't much care for the contours of the Engineering hull on the JJPrise, either.

 

[Chrisisall]

The "E" is a toy; if I were five, I'd like it immensely.
If I were five.

The saucer and Nacelles on the JJ-prise kick ass but that secondary hull and plyons....ick.

 

[Larraby]

It sucks plain and simple to me!

I agree, although I shouldn't be commenting in these threads anymore.

However, it's best that individuals with some modicum of taste counteract the comments from those that are drooling over the Nu-E abomination, for reasons which I cannot fathom.

Oh, I like the pylons; they're nicely like the ones on the TOS ship but a little stronger-looking.

I think they attach too far forward on the engines, though.

Gotta love SpockBoy's work.

And the secondary hull and pylons are fine, as far as I'm concerned. (Or should that be 'phine'?)

Hey now, plenty of people like Honda Accords with bright green paint jobs, copper "tribal" body decals, whaletale spoilers and underbody neons.

 

[EnsignRicky]

It just looked like changes for sake of change, and not particularly for the better.

 

[Shazam!]

It's a horrible design. The neck is too far back and basically starts at the back of the ship, the nacelles are comically bulbous, the hull looks like a half-eaten cake, the warp pylons are bent and look like they could buckle at any moment... the only decent bit is the saucer.

 

[Skywalker]

I really like the saucer, the neck, the deflector, the nacelles, and the pylons, but I think they blew it on the secondary hull. It's a little too narrow, and way too tapered at the back end. It looks out of proportion with the giant saucer section.

I'm having difficulty picturing that. Should I consider myself fortunate?

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

I see cars like that all the time.

And know people who think they're classier than say - a Ferrari Dino.

Yes, it's quite professional.

Actually, I always thought the nacelles of TOS E were just *slightly* long, something they fixed in both the Refit & the NuE.
See, I can find fault with ANY design!

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

The neck is too far back and basically starts at the back of the ship...

Which makes a great deal more design sense than the TOS version. What's odd is pairing that up with nacelle pylons that are positioned in such an unbalanced way.

Eh, I probably could, too, if I worked at it, but I really can't be bothered. It took me all of about a minute and a half, looking at that first image, to decide I liked the ship, and since then I've been given no compelling reason to change that opinion; I think it's a beautiful design.
