Probably an Etsy builder will.

LEGO Enterprise rumors

Can someone update the subject of this thread? It is not a rumor anymore, right?
There's always the possibility of more rumors about further sets coming out - maybe change to "LEGO Star Trek builds".
I'm debating on a lighting kit. I'd need to see a video on one to see what it really looks like, how much the wires are exposed and how easy it is to install. (And some people may care if it compromises the separation feature.)
ETA:
Saw this and it gave me a laugh.

They usually come with instructions on how to install them. You usually only have to remove a few bricks. Could be two separate power units so you can still separate it.
Oh, I know. The lighting kits I've done I've found to be a hassle.
Does the pod have new parts, or could it theoretically be built from existing parts? Asking for a friend
Rebrickable link which is useful for making your own inventories.
I saw this lighting kit, but the nacelles have the LED strips on the outside of the build.

I don't think mine will be arriving for a week or two, as I have another lego product that is part of my order (brought a space shuttle for my niece). Doesn't bother me at the moment, as I know it is on back order. I should email them in the morning with a query about something.
That doesn't sound so great
Lego have made a lot of questionable decisions of late
DEEP cut!! If only the fire had been green...
As I understand it when they design the kits they're given a target retail price they have to be within a few dollars of and this can lead to be something of a burden as either sacrifices need to be made for larger sets and meaningless things have to be added to the smaller ones.
Certain pieces are more expensive for being rare (they can't just print the exact number of pieces needed) or difficult to produce or the set may require them to design a whole new piece.
Minifigs are factor too, unique faces and chest and arm pieces can really eat at a budget.
With the license to Star Trek, 9 minifigures (each with at least one unique print required), new pieces (at the very least Worf's head piece and Guinan's hat piece) already eating at their budget the orange impulse engines may have been somewhere to make the budget. Maybe in a "turn off the daytime running lights for better fuel economy" kind of way but needed to be done to get one more Technic piece to make the saucer more sturdy. The transparent pieces cost a little more and color can impact costs as well.
I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. They wanted trans-red there they just couldn't "afford" it.
They probably chose that colour as it stands out better. It’s Lego so you can easily change it with a transparent red or bright red flat tile if you like.
A fun thing to do if I had a lot of money would be to replace all the gray pieces with purple ones so I could have a purple Enterprise.
