Favorite Starship from the Franchise?
- Thread starter Joel_Kirk
- Start date
If you look at these ships, start your eye from the secondary hull or "center" of the design and move around from there you will see that the Abrams ship just doesn't flow and is completely unbalanced. I realize this opinion is subjective and I respect anyone's opinion to differ.
^^ It's almost blasphemous to put the third ship along side the first two.
From top to bottom: Cool, Ultra Cool, child's toy.

I prefer the Abrams version to the refit.
I would like the Abrams version of the Enterprise a LOT better if it didn't have the front part (with the deflector dish) that stuck out. Somehow that just looks 'wrong'.
The first two are sitting still looking pretty. The reboot version looks like it's at speed even when stationary.
No, it's really really not.
It is a toy. Or, at least, a plastic replica. Lacking much of the rich surface detail of the real thing, it's like having the CG of the new ship next to an AMT model of the old.
Okay?
It's funny how perspectives are different when you're not attached to the received opinions of fandom...
Watching TNG growing up, I LOVED the extra detail shown by the 6 ft model and found its proportions to be just right.
When seeing the 6ft model I found it to be ungainly, like a foetus, smooth, ungainly and not quite done yet...
Maybe this would be everybody's opinion if the 4FT had come first, maybe not, who knows, it's just bizarre that the MORE DETAILED model is treated as something of a blasphemy by fandom *shrug*
I think we can all agree it's better than the awful 2 FT model whose very appearance blights TNG-R these days
#1 - Sisko's USS Defiant
#2 - Captain Riker's USS Enterprise D (Dreadnought Class)
#3 - Weyoun's Jem'Hadar Battleship
#4 - Romulan D'deridex Class Warbird
#5 - Federation Nebula Class Starship
As for the Enterprise 4' Model, I preferred it over the 6'..... I like seeing detail in the ships and the 4' had more.

I think my biggest problem with the Abrams Enterprise was the (empty tube of toothpase) secondary hull and the curvy TNG warp struts, while great on Enterprise D, they just look wrong and tacked on in Abrams ship. However, if you replace the secondary hull and warp struts only, while keeping everything else the same, the Abrams ship looks really interesting. Quite COOL in fact!
Fun to play with ideas

In the right angle, the new Trek Enterprise does look pretty cool
But nothing says, "I'ma Kill YOU!" like the Defiant.

And nothing says "Star Trek" like the above...
Borg Cube: "I'ma Assimilate or Kill YOU!"
Romulan Warbird: "I'ma Decloak n Kill YOU!"
Klingon Bird of Prey / Battlecruiser: "I'ma Kill YOU & Sing a Song!"
Dominion Battleship: "I'ma Really Kill YOU even if it Kills Me! Obedience is Life!!"
Vidiians: "I'ma Kill You and wear your Face & Organs!!"
Species 8472......
Well you get the idea.
The Defiant just means "We Kill you Back!"
The Enterprise-that-Never-Was is my favorite design.
^^ That immediately reminds me of a quote from my favorite fictional explorer:
"No."
"No."
Ugh.
Well, screw you, too. You don't have to be rude in your dislike, you know.
Elaborate. What's wrong with the design?
