NCC-1701 Shipyard Back Online

Wonder why the second one is called "Enterprise/crash" since the ship really doesn't look like the Enterprise?
 
Wow, JJ does love putting the sun in the background of this action shots, doesn't he? All the better to lens flare with...

^It's the crashing saucer slicing through a building.

Correction: it's the crashing waaayyy oversized saucer. Looks more like the ships from Independence Day than a Constitution-class saucer. Once again, the fx department weren't that careful in setting the scale.

Is it a Constitution-class ship? It may be another ship. Just because it has saucer shape, it doesn’t mean it is constitution class. I didn´t think an oversized saucer. Starships with more than 200 crew are huge.

A) What would you say is the diameter of the saucer visible in the picture in question?

B) What would you say is the diameter of a "Constitution-class" saucer?

C) What does "Constitution-class" mean in the context of your statement above?

Approximately 417 feet I believe.
 
How big would Paxton's Orpheus lunar mining colony ship have been? A few city blocks wide perhaps.

And yes, I know that's not who Weller's playing in this...

But hey, maybe he had a daughter who got married and the Paxton line became Marcus instead! :p

I seriously doubt the FX department would make a mistake like that. If anything, Abrams (a big fan of camera trickery) would have instructed them to oversize it to make the scene look better.

Not in this timeline. The TOS Enterprise is 947 feet long, this new version is at least 2380 feet, maybe bigger.
