"Enterprise" too advanced for 22nd Century

Actually would you feel a barrel roll inside the ship? They didn't seem to feel anything odd doing a loop the loop?
Also how does docking work? In one episode the shuttlepod was upside down relative to the ship when it docked with the alien ship in Fight or Flight but then they are walking inside the ship right way up? Are they weightless when they transfer from shuttlepod to the ship and rotate?

^Yeah, implicitly the gravity vector changes as they pass from the shuttlepod's gravity field into the ship's. I did a scene in an ENT novel where they turned off the shuttle's gravity plating before breaching and boarding a station so that they could more swiftly ascend through the airlock.
Isn't there also a roller coaster that loops but the top apex of the loop has no rails or anything?
Pacific 201. In a fandom obsessed with canon, I love that he had the balls to re-imagine existing Trek lore. Comparison video here:
Thanks. I'm not saying it's bad, just the opposite. It looks good. I just think the NX-01, the way it is on screen looks superior.
He says in the description "I had the chance to redesign the NX-class to fit better into the Star Trek timeline and push it closer to the aesthetic of TOS" and he makes clear in the video that he doesn't like the NX and doesn't think it should have looked the way it did.
This is basically what Doug Drexler tried to do with his redesign.(make it look more like Kirks Enterprise)
It's logical as the next step toward the Constitution class, but just grafting the secondary hull onto the existing design with the pontoons connecting to the nacelles does seem a bit redundant.
Plus, we now know from the Shenzhou in Star Trek: Discovery that pre-TOS Starfleet still uses designs without secondary hulls.
It's intentionally left ambiguous. The designer similarly reimagined the Daedalus-class.
Most of his redesigns seem based on the Romulan War(s) being more like Spock described them, no quarter given, and the ships much more heavily armored and armed as a result. The armoring only starting to be reduced with the Constitution-class era and basically gone by the post-Excelsior era.
I don't think so. Unless its really new.
In my head canon is that the Enterprise was going on a deep space mission for 5 years so the they made the tech more durable and less fiddley so it could be more easily repaired or replaced if needed. That's why it looked more "primitive."
That's not how different than Navy vessels are now. They use sound powered phones for reliability. Nuclear reactors on Naval vessels are not that much different now than from 50 years ago and don't use computers in the belief that makes them more reliable. I can see something similar to that happening when they designed the constitution class ships. That's why in later movies things didn't look so retro.
