First Contact with the Enterprise-D

Never understood the logic that they needed a new ship for the movies. Must be to differentiate it from the television product, but she was so young! We weren't ready to lose her.
 
I'd like to see one with Voyager, the E-D and the Defiant all in one shot, shooting at the Borg.
 
The Enterprise D was the last vestige of Gene Roddenberry that needed to go for ST:TNG to be Rick Berman's.
 
Behold, ILM, your player hate for the D was unfounded. I hope you're glad you gave Picard a mid-life-crisis hot rod.

The problem wasn't ILM. Some of their guys were even convinced the next one should be a Galaxy again, like the two Connie Refits. Hence the famous image of the relabeled saucer section.
 
Wow, thanks for the props, guys. I almost thought I'd come in here and have to call someone out for jacking my work...and I'm thrilled to see that's not the case. Anyway, thanks again. I have been thinking of doing manips like this for Insurrection and/or Nemesis.

Edit: I just realized the thread linked to don't include my latest work. Here are my newer ones.

Also, while I didn't make this and the name of who did escapes me, but this should definitely get the waterworks flowing if you miss the D.

Very Nice work.

As much as I like the Sovereign class I really would have liked to have seen the E-D's true potential explored on the big screen. It was one of the things that made TNG ending somewhat bearable for me. I was majorly bummed when it was destroyed in Generations.
 
Same here. I thought the E-D looked absolutely beautiful in Generations. Shame they put an end to her.
 
One thing to keep in mind: At that point the six-footer was almost a decade old and had been put through more abuse than any other model since the original Connie. She would've either needed a complete restoration from the ground up or be rebuilt at an even higher detail level. Probably one of the things they used to justify the crime of destroying the future of that masterpiece.

BTW: Look at timecode 2:42 in the following video and you'll see how a slightly reccolored TNG bridge could look like: http://www.youtube.com/v/JSD8V2XiJVU

^I also liked how they made the E-D look more manuverable in generations, especially the battle scenes over Veridian III. It was nowhere near that during the TNG run.

Way to go, you made me have to go and watch Generations. I'm mad at you, no really. Making me watching it again, like I haven't seen it enough. Shame on you sir, shame on you.
 
^^ Generations is one of those movies where it's best to only watch the scenes with the ships and the station. Makes it actually bearable (similar to Final Frontier).

Now, you have to watch TATV too. The E-D got some mean moves through that asteroid field in the end :devil:

Seeing a Galaxy again was the only reason to watch that train wreck.
