Here it is - no bloody "A", "B" "C" or "D"

It looks like they just mashed the TMP-ent and the ENT-D together. Meh, not very impressive.

I knew something was up, because Trekmovie was broken.
 
I have no problems with a redesign. After all, this isn't the first time that the Big E has been redesigned. The only thing I expect is for the new one to look as good as the old versions. It doesn't even come close. It's quite ugly. The different parts of the ship don't look like they go together. I would imagine very few people, even if they like the new design, would say that this ship looks better than the movie era Enterprise.
I would, if they lose the chrome.
 
As a designer... I do not like it. If this was a New Trek movie with a new crew..I would ok with. It could have been set in TMP Era..It would fit as a new ship, but why make a movie and call it a TOS Movie and change everything that fans loved about TOS trek?

On top of that, make it hard for fans to try to fit it in the cannon of the series. I see it hard to have this ship be refit to the REAL TOS Ship.

I am sorry, As a fan of all the movies and series, I will not pay to see this movie, I respect all the other people who will, but again as a fan for all of my life, I had to say something.

Thanks
 
Looks good to me, reminds me ALOT of Gab's Enterprise. Pretty much what I had been expecting actually.

Sharr
 
That is one ugly ship,normally I can't wait for the toy to come out but I don't even want one of these. They need to move the neck up more it looks too squished.
 
The engineering hull needs MAJOR upscaling (Though the shape of it is pretty aesthetically pleasing). Right now, it reminds me of the Belknap, with its puny little engineering hull. Seriously, if I were the designer, I'd scale it up, push it back, and push the pylons forward.

The saucer is good. Saucers take a lot of hard work to screw up.

And I really do dig the nacelles. They have a very sleek retro vibe and a nice shape, but they could do with having the pylon attachment further aft.

She's alright, but she's too front-heavy.

Wow, I think that looks bad personally! The saucer looks okay. But geesh!

I actually don't think it looks that bad. True, it's not the original NCC-1701, but not bad none-the-less.
 
This is his Enterprise. Period. If he doesn't get a royalty check from Paramount he should sue until the cows come home.

Watch and see a lawsuit come out of this.

You need to look at an actual picture of his ship and compare it to this. The new ship and Koener's have in much in common as the new ship and the original design do.
 
As a designer, I think this will do fine. It's a lot better than the Enterprise-E. I'd like to see a comparison pic with the NX-01 to see if there is an obvious evolution anywhere. I'd also like to hear an opinion from uber-designers Mr. Probert and Mr. Sternbach, if they are lurking about. I know that both are too gentlemanly to be outright critical, but a designers impression would be much appreciated from both.

So you think this design is less valid than something built 40 years ago with the cheapest materials GR and company could find. The TV version of the ship looked like it did because that was what they could afford. Now I'm not trying to sound like a broken record here but it's a solid design it envokes the TOS Enterprise, it looks a HELL of alot better than the model from the sixties and anyone expecting the ship to look like it did on tv is just fooling themselves. Period.
 
I am starting to like her, but then again I did like the 1701-E & NX-01 so what do I know.

To answer Meredith I do see 701 just past the deflector so I'm thinking this is it. Can't wait to see it in a fight.
 
The more I look at her, the more I like her, even though I do like the photoshop manip that pushes the secondary hull back a little.

Other then that, I can deal with it. I find if funny about everyone bitching about the nacelles, thats the part of the ship I really like.:lol:

I think the key with it is it ENVOKES the TOS enterprise, without being a direct copy. I really am starting to like it.

Rick posted over at trekmovie and said he was mildly disappointed but didn't elaborate much further. I'd find you the quote, but the site's broken at the moment.
 
I want to like it. It has a 50s car aesthetic to it, which as prequel to a 60s show I think was the right instinct.

But there's something... well, butt freakin' ugly about it.

Overall, meh. Maybe it'll grow on me.
 
I like it.

I've always loved the original Enterprise, but this is a very acceptable update. In a way, I think we've always accepted the TOS-E because we never saw her DO anything other than just fly by. It was because of budget limitations, I feel.

Even when we saw her in TOS-R or as the Defiant on ENT, she never really gave me the impression she was all that manuverable. This ship looks like she can MOVE.
 
I've seen a lot of comments about "chrome" nacelle caps but I have to say I think they look more like highly reflective glass.

Can't make up my mind overall. I don't hate it.

I did too. I don't mind change as long as its positive. To me, this isn't.
I don't see any negative changes... the ship looks more functional and sturdier. Like it could possibly survive the stress placed on it in orbit or at high warp speeds. Looking back at the "ruler" pylons from TOS they look very frail.
