Nu trek ship size

[topcat]

when the first movie came out, and the resulting toys came out, the issues as to size of the nu trek ships started up.

According to sources, the size of the nu trek Enterprise was put at 1,000 meters long. That would mean that if the Miranda class saucer stayed the same,,, that the Enterprise D saucer was 1500 meters in diameter.

Now after careful study of the Star Trek film, ive realized that the nu trek enterprise is actually the same size as the TOS enterprise.

On the Kelvin sequence, we see the female crewmember get sucked out into vacuum and smack into one of the phaser turrets. the actual black rectangle appears to be roughly 8 feet tall. the center disk of the kelvin seems to be 4 -5 turrets tall. That would correlate with standard deck heights in TNG.

On the enterprise, the turret emiters are roughly the same size when compared to the bridge window, and the center disk seems to be roughly 7 turrets tall...

And we can always find Pines actual height, and compare that to the diameter of the pod he was ejected out in, and then we compare that dimension to the port he was shot out of in the hull, and then we can compare that to the rest of the hull.

Shouldn't this be in the Kelvin Universe forum? I see nothing Discovery related here.

Let me attempt to make this relevant.

The JJ ships were designed to match their Prime counterparts, but the CG Models were scaled up to fit in the shuttle bay set they wanted. So they are both sizes. The Windows in particular should match the Prime sizes, and so even when scaled up, the broken parts of the ship had to conform to the window sizing and the people flying out.

As for the USS Discovery... It should match the Prime style scaling, but until we see the final design, with the windows and markings - and we see the sets - we wont know for sure.

Should the Discovery be smaller than a Constitution class vessel of the 2250's?

It's 725 meters. Get over it.

I'll take the word of of the people who made the CG model over anyone else.

Here's why the Enterprise can't be 1,200'/366m:

How is the Discovery a "nu trek ship?" Up until now "nu" means in the Abrams movie series.

Wrong forum. Shifting it over.

All discussions concerning the size of the "nu trek Enterprise" (or of any other starship in the nuTrek movies) should be conducted in the Starship Size Argument™ thread, which has been provided for that purpose (and also to keep "starship size" arguments from taking over every other thread in the forum.)
