Have I found a new ship?

[Dukhat]

The odds are, since we saw a debris field of multiple starships in the trailer, we will see most of the ships intact in an earlier scene. And the odds also are, those ships will be deliberately designed so as not to look confusingly like either the Kelvin or the Enterprise. I'd call that having the odds in our favor...

As a matter of fact, one of the footage reports specifically stated that the cadet shuttle scene takes place because the cadets are being rushed to their respective ship postings in order to get to Vulcan for the emergency. And that also basically means that any cadets not posted to the Enterprise will become dead meat real fast.

 

[Timo]

I'm hoping we will get to see the ships of the other cadets, yes. But that's not perfectly certain yet: the camera might concentrate solely on Pike's ship...

(I mean, this would absolutely happen if the movie were shot with physical models. With CGI, though, odds probably are in our favor.)

As for seeing parts of the ship from the portholes, that usually wouldn't happen: the windows tend to be on the outer rims of the structures, or on the top surfaces of the saucer and angled up, leaving virtually nothing to be seen. The only major exceptions would be the observation lounges next to the bridges on Picard's ship, which should indeed have showed a glimpse of a nacelle every now and then...

I just had a thought.

Some people's quarters aboard a starship probably have a window constantly filled with nacelle-light. All that swirling orange playing on the walls while you try to sleep... it's enough to drive a low-rank redshirt mad.

Well I'm sure you could pull the curtain down so you could sleep. The Enterprise D had something like this.

Would you even need a curtain? I would think that there might be some sort of polarizing property to the viewports.

Well, FWIW, neither the Kelvin nor the Enterprise seem to have much windows (except for the bridge one, of course ). So I don't think this is a problem.

Hmmm, I didn't notice that. But I guess its more structurally sound. However, it makes you wonder which rooms would have windows? Lounges? 'Cause, on a starship without many windows, I would think they would be a luxury.

The captain's lounge, and that's it.

"Suck on it, you redshirt losers! I've got the window!"

Honestly on a starship, I would want to be as far from a window as possible. Think about it, one stray bit of debris gets past a nav-deflector, or a lucky shot from the enemy and your going out that window without a pressure suit.

Great find Kaych! It kinda looks like ships of this era are "supposed" to look. Homage to Old Trek?




Kidding!

In ST:TMP the Directors cut, there are several scenes where you can see the nacelles viewed through a window from the inside.

That big ship looks like from Star Wars Episode 1 and 2

There could easily be an engineering section below the saucer.

One of Matt Jefferies' preliminary design sketches for the Enterprise, from The Making of Star Trek (pg. 83):

3 NACELLES !!!

BLASPHAMY

Only even numbers !!

That shot seems to me to be a direct homage to TNG: The Best of Both Worlds Part 2. We've been told there are multiple homages to the other Treks.

I'm pretty sure the upper pod is this sketch's engineering hull, not a warp engine.

 

[Kemaiku]

Actually since it resembles the Miranda, only with the Nacelles pointing upward, could it be a little in joke to the ILM "flipping over" error?

And which ship in the trailer loos like a Lucrehulk-class ship?

Or do you mean that starbase?

That is a starbase ... and it looks nothing like the Trade Federation-ship.
