*Potential Spoilers* What will the Alternate Enterprise-A look like

Great pics, thanks for posting!

The more I see of theKelvin-A, the less I like her.... It's probably my least favourite take on the original connie, after the TOS one, the movie refit, the JJprise and the Discoprise - which I ALL like or love - this is the single one I don't like.

At least it's size is consistent (and not a weird mish-mash like on the JJprise). But it's waaaay to big for an exploraion vessel. If such a giant ship would suddenly appear in your orbit, you'd think less "first contact", and more about "Independence Day".
(sorry/not sorry re: size discussion)

 

I dunno.... In those constructions shots, the first angle is very nice. The second one, a bit clunky, even taking into account that the ship is ofcourse not completed. I think I do prefer the Beyond version of the Kelvin-universe Connie more. As for all of them, like you said..... Probably the TMP Refit the most, with, dare I say it..... The Disco-version in second place.

 

Kind of amazed we're actually gonna see this baby fly in a couple of years. I'd given up hope.

 

Yeppers! I’m extremely excited about seeing the Ent-A grace the big screen properly!

Like, amps turned up to 11 excited!

 

Can't wait to see it either. I'm sure the design will be tweaked somehow in ST4/14 lol

Can't wait to see the interiors. Hopefully a change there

 

I'm trying to fill in the gaps in the mean time.

 

Since we have yet to see an interior of the 1701-A, I designed one myself.

 

moar

 

Apparently this is from that mobile game.

 

What's an Essex subclass?

 

I love that ship

 

I've found these. Can't remember where:


FWIW. I'm not a big fan of any of them going back to 2009, to be honest.

 

It certainly looks odd in profile, but for most angles the Beyond-1701 looks beautiful. Those scenes where she flies into the nebula...

 

I don't believe these are official. They look to be the work of Tobias Richter, who also made unofficial renders of the Kelvin and her kitbashed brethren.

 

The Ent 1701-A images belong to PixelMagic - who is a member on these boards (and also posted on page 48 of this thread).

His is an extremely accurate and amazingly rendered version of the Bey: 1701-A (possibly as close as we’ll get), and based on Alexander Klemm’s (NightFever) 3D model.

 

Heres the orthos done by PixelMagic based on Nightfever’s 3D model.

 

Such a shame we'll likely never see her in action

 

Thanks for the clarification. These are fantastic renders and probably 99% accurate to the originals, which are probably long gone by this point.

 

Nah, Beyond wasn't done by ILM

 

Long gone? Important movie assets (Enterprise CG studio models) are saved and backed up. I know for a fact the original CG studio models of the 1701 and 1701-A still exist. I know because...well, reasons...
