Orci: improvements to engine room?
- Thread starter M'Sharak

Actually from a true human spaceflight safety standpoint, you actually want to hide/protect as much of the hardware as possible. Even when you're designing a satellite, consideration it taken into the integration buildup and testing phases to minimize hazards to the technicians.
Though I didn't care for the brewery, I was more grumbling at the screen for all of the exposed pipes and valves. I was looking at it - One good jolt to the ship and you could easily be impaled by one of the doodads sticking out.
To me the engineering "set" just didn't match up with the design philosophy of the other Enterprise sets.

That was the same design philosophy that Matt Jefferies had for the original Enterprise's exerior. He had the idea that stuff would be concealed behind hatches in the hull (not only to protect them from space hazards but also to minimize the need for the crew to go outside the ship to repair and maintain them).
No idea why he posted this in the five word game thread (
), but nonetheless this is relevant:
Brewery engine room FTW!
Vasquez rocks is interesting. Flashback to Vulcan, perhaps? Or the new Vulcan colony?
And Dodger Stadium? Maybe a huge celebration ceremony at the end, a la ENT's "Home"?

Aren't there long access tunnels underneath Dodger Stadium? With the right lighting, they could probably be made to look creepy...
Remember that parts of the Giant Space Drill space jump and fight scene and the "Kirk running from monsters on Delta Vega" sequence from the last movie were shot on location in a parking lot adjacent to Dodger Stadium. I'd guess that the next movie also has a scene calling for sets, scenery or rigs too large to be easily fit into a soundstage.

Kirk will be promoted to President of the Federation at the end of the film.
I agree. I think they just accidentally re listed the locations used last time around.
No, TPTB have decided that the new target audience doesn't care about continuity, so there will be scenes on Vulcan.
I think it`S simply a new planet... like in every TOS episode why it was either a styrofoam cave or Vasquez Rocks.
I didn't mind the ship board brewery, still hated it, but I could look past it in the grand scheme of things within the movie.
Glad that a possible change is happening. Even if it is a subtle facelift.
On the plus side, maybe they will film in a chocolate factory, nothing will be as cool as a chocolate waterfall in place of a warp core.

Ditto that! This is what Engineering should look like:

It's like a modern version of the TMP Engineering Deck, which I really liked. With any luck, we might get something closer to this in the new movie.
Now this would have been a lot better, and not a brewery, a factory, or a stripped down shopping mall. Add a nice, tall vertical chamber, as well as some alien looking stuff as well, and we have a winner.
Agree.

I'm not holding my breath. I keep hearing that JJ LOVES the brewery.
The warp core on The Next Generation was a pot-bellied stove.
