nother "what the JJPrise could have been" thread...

[GothTrek]

Here is the official thread for this mesh that won't take over Madman1701A's thread.

Okay, here is a closeup of the bussard scoop.

And here is a list of links to the high res versions of the images I posted above:

And here is a link to a quicktime movie of how the bussard scoops work.

I like the JJ-prise better... though this is very well done.

 

[Venardhi]

A bit too much flash, but well done.

 

[btflash]

i like this design much better. at least the nacelles are proportional.

 

[ST-One]

It's very nice.
The actual new Enterprise looks better, but this is a very nice variation of the classic design and its lines.

The Bussard collectors look really good.

Proportional to what?

 

[uniderth]

My question is: What's wrong with making a ship that looks like it fits in TOS?

Nothing at all.

the rest of the ship, of course.

 

[Santaman]

I like this design a lot more then the JJ prise.

 

[pajamahead]

I am not sure which one I like better, but this is definitely a sexy beast.

Since this is all made-up stuff anyway, the new nacelles at least look like they can produce the power to propel the ship to faster-than-light speeds (btw: I know that the warp-drive is supposed to work differently, but on the shows and the films it was ignored most of the times so...).
But this doesn't mean that the original design's nacelles or those of the refit didn't look good in their own right.

Me, too. Put the ship name and registry on the sides of the aft portions of the nacelles (and use a serious font at a serious size - not whatever the hell that is on the side of Abrams' ship), and you've got a winner.

 

[SGCSG1]

I'm not a JJprise hater, but I think this is WORLDS BETTER.

 

[ST-One]

Okay, here is a closeup of the bussard scoop.

I really like the look of this, but I'd remove those prime-color red spots

 

[SalvorHardin]

Not bad at all

But as far as the new movie goes, I find what we really get much better than this.

 

[davejames]

There's a lot of individual elements I really like on this, but there's just WAY too many of them happening at once for my taste.

It's still beautifully rendered though.

This looks (overall) great! A few details here and there I would change...

The nacelles on the new Abrams-prise are perfectly proportional - just thicker at one end than you're used to seeing. They're not really much bigger at all. If anything they look a tad shorter than they were in TOS.

 

[USS Intrepid]

That's very nice!
