Is this the new Enterprise from Trek XI?

[CommanderTrip]

I found this image a few moments ago which is being advertised as a possible first full view of the new enterprise from Trek XI. Judge for yourselves at the link below

I stumbled across this picture (one that I haven't seen before; and couldn't find here on the forums) on a website that I frequently visit. I am skeptical as to whether or not this is going to be the official look of the new Enterprise, but nevertheless, I thought I would share this find with you folks here and see what you can make of it. Personally, I dont think it is the official look of the Enterprise, but I will concede that whatever the case, the photo is extremely well done. Props to whoever made it

Sorry, no -- that looks like the Koernerprise, putting in yet another appearance here. It's a nice model, but it's not got anything to do with the movie.

Again with the Borg-r-prise..

Yuk.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Nope, this has been floating around for at least a year. Not the Enterprise.

 

[AdmiralGarak]

Koerner's ship has none of the sleekness and beauty of the Enterprise. The warp nacelles in particular are way too bulky.

The glimpses of the Abrams-version we got in the trailer look like it will be much more loyal to the original design.

How about THIS baby..........anyone seen it before? Saw it about an hour ago on the AA message boards. Can't make out the signature.

That is JudeXavier's conjectural design for what the new 1701 might look like, based on what was seen in the trailer. It was posted in this thread in the art forum.

 

[KennyB]

I figured as much---I was going there to look but got sidetracked by this thread.......thanks!

 

[Quasi-Odo]

Nice job, but those nacelles! Ugh!

 

[CommanderTrip]

I think the nacelles look pretty good in the top down view.

But they definately look 'meh' on the side and front view.

I think it looks more like the ship seen in the teaser than Gabe's.

 

[Skywalker]

That's definitely Gabe Koerner's Enterprise.

As for that conjecture one, I think they've changed more than just the nacelles. The rest of the ship will probably be a little bulkier, too.

Yeah, that is probably my favorite Gabe Koerner-E image.
Man that guy is good.
As far as the thing I did, I think you're right on track. The secondary hull looks better when "bulked up" like TMP design. When I did this, one of my "rules" was to stay as close to the shape and proportion of TOS saucer and 2nd hull as possible, apart from obvious reveals in the trailer. (This was keeping with descriptions from various sources that kept repeating things like "the rest of the ship looks like TOS, wth TMP texturing, and the nacelles are bigger/more aerodyanmic/more "organic"???"...) So yeah. I have no doubt a year from now the ship we see on screen will so different than all of this that...well, I'll probably be deleting alot of old image files

 

[StarMan]

Why oh why did I get my hopes up? Damnit!

It's just a movie... it's just a movie...

*gently rocks back and forth*

 

[Gepard]

nah mate,the ship side on and also romulan battlecruiser,costumes etc

JJ Abrams, is that you?

no,george lucas

Besides, we all know who's really J.J. Abrams on this board...

(Edit: Stupid timecode...)

I have seen the enterprise from XI,it's alot like koener's work with the nacelles slanted back like st:TMP and fins at the back of nacelles more prominent.
What I really want to see is,the ship in action.
