I totally forgot about "The Naked Time" :)

It seems to be a mixed bag on when phasers were aimed down sights or fired from the hip in TOS. Here are a few times when phasers were aimed down sights and one where you see both aiming and firing from the hip by two different characters...
I wonder where the "displacement" number comes from. FJ's blueprint lists 190,000 Gross Deadweight Metric Tonnage (or just Deadweight Tonnage in Star Trek Technical Manual) and TMOST lists Gross Weight of 190,000 tons. Both very different from "displacement".
I thought that was in "The Trouble with Tribbles" where Scotty is viewing a "technical manual" and the monitor hood obscured "Constitution", "Star Ship" and "Primary Phaser"?
If we assume that the 17xx numbers are like the Enterprise and the high number at SB11 is 1718 then in Season 2 "Metamorphosis" it would imply that there have been losses as Kirk says there are twelve like the Enterprise...
If you are keeping the Constellation's lower torpedo pod then you would want to have the bottom nacelles hang further down so the torpedoes can clear the lower sensor dome.
I'm okay if there were 18xx and above numbers. It would just mean Starfleet has lots of ships. A later number wouldn't necessarily mean more advanced. I don't believe NCC-1017 is less advanced than NCC-1701.
With the LED Wall now available could you imagine being able to film some of the larger interior spaces on the Enterprise-D or other ships? It could be jaw dropping...
Yeah, I don't know of the other guy that got BR caps but Trekcore has them however CorporalCaptain raised a point that they were saved as JPEGs which would lose some detail due to lossy compression. I am suggesting to grab some more screenshots but save as PNGs which is a lossless compression...
FYI, we can remove one level of compounding compression by just screen grabbing from bluray to a lossless format like PNG instead of JPG. That way you're just left with the h264 compression from bluray.
Yeah, the undercut is subtle (even on the filming model). The undercut is more obvious with the curved lettering from the underside view. I just noticed that the nacelle end caps look a little different too!
Is it a retcon though? What established the TOS Enterprise that we can argue it's a retcon in the first place? Come on, let's waste some more time together :D
Absolutely. For example we see this in a modern Star Trek movie too..
From one shot to the next they must have used different models as the nacelles have the glowy thing in the middle shot, right? :) But we know the nacelle configuration can change.
Why can't TOS? (Other than a rigidness...
