All good things Enterprise or Regular Enterprise
- Thread starter Klingon Empire
- Start date
I'm not such a fan of the 3 nacelles. I didn't think it was cool when I first saw it, I thought it was cheesy. And still kind of do.
It looks good on the Constellation class, but I like my Galaxy-class as is.

I have to agree. (Is completely unaware he voted for AGT Enterprise)
I never was very partial to the galaxy class, to begin with. I would have to choose the normal version though.
All Good Things timeline must heavily favor new ships.
There is no way in hell they would throw away or decommission a perfectly good spaceframe, let alone the Enterprise. In the Yesterday's Enterprise Riker wanted to salvage the Ent-C and that was almost as old as the AGT Ent-D.
The Galaxy class according to my Star Trek technical manual was designed with a 100 year lifespan with 20 year upgrade cycles.

I wonder what that 3rd nacelle was supposed to do anyway.
Well when they played "Pimp my Starship", the third nacelle was added to amp up the power so when the cloak went down, Riker could order them to set course at "Warp 13".
My vote was for the 'Classic' as well. I remeber thinking the AGT future E looked pretty cool when it first aired. But in hind site, its just to off for my tastes.
I voted for the AGT Enterprise, I'm no fan of the Galaxy class flying hotel ships but the Futureprise is so gloriously over the top that I can't help but like it.
(Plus it made mincemeat out of the Klingons which is always a good thing

Flying around in opulent luxury has no appeal? A happy well rested crew is an effective crew.
At one point either Jean-Luc or Beverly Picard gives an order to go at warp 14. Or something similar; it's been ages since I've seen it. That to me would mean that a breakthrough was made in warp-speed technology that redefined the scale. I figure that the third Nacelle was to help ol' Rusty fly as fast as the modern ships.
But that's probably over-analyzing stuff.
haha agreed. It was like TPTB came together and asked "how can we show the Enterprise in the future with as little effort and thought possible?" and then just plopped a 3rd nacelle right in the middle of the 2ndary hull.
I was 9 when I first saw this, and even then I recognized it for what it was: a horribly simplistic, ugly, and ultimately stupid design maneuver.
That is why I cheered when Riker crashed the E-D in GEN, because that fate was better than what ultimately awaited it in AGT. I will stand by this til my end of days

The regular version, but the original 6 FT model.
You're not too far off. Riker gave the order to "Set course. Warp 13." After the Pasteur's Warp Core exploded and the Enterpise had wooped up on the Klingons. He noted that they were still deep in Klingon territory and that they would be back soon. He ordered for the Cloak to be engaged and was informed that it was off line. That's when he gave the order.
From the first time it aired, to this day, that is the one thing that really bugs me about AGT. Warp 13? Why? Warp 10 is it, no faster. The series had given plenty of ways to exceed Warp 10. Trans Warp Conduits, Worm Holes, etc... But the actual speed that a ship itself could generate was restricted to stay within the Warp Scale. Messing with it just didn't work for me.
It's like having the Enterprise cloak or have a third nacelle - it's something that flew in the face of tradition and therefore something they wanted to do to show how radical this future was.
While this may have been the intention, it's best to simply conclude that the warp scale was recalibrated to include additional warp 'thresholds' in the high warp nine range as the ability to achieve those speeds increased - especially considering how asymptotic the scale is in that range, and how vast the difference between warp 9.99 and warp 9.999 is compared to warp 6.99 and warp 6.999.
Maybe they worried that a helmsman would miss hearing the order given on one of the 9s on warp 9.9999?
