Photoshop Enterprise!

[Sector 7]

What an awesome drawing! Thanks CRA you have proved to me just how similar they really are! Great job! Keep up the good work! This is my new desktop wallpaper... you even made it for a widescreen monitor.. thank you!

Can you or someone PhotoShop this with a black background (with space background, if possible)? I have no PhotoShop skills whatsoever.

Delusional. Definitely delusional.

pff, at least I recognize the image above, I don't know what Abrams is calling that thing but it's not the Enterprise sorry...updated i can live with, redesigned I can live with...but not butt #$%&%*$ ugly

what?

its 99.99% the same goddamn ship, reminds me of how the fanboys freaked out when they saw the new galactica.

It's statements like this that convince me that most of the cheerleaders are either blind or delusional, or both.

99.99% the same?

You call that 99.99% identical?

By that reasoning, a pizza pan attached to a rolling pin and two paper towel rolls would also be 99.99% identical.

Two quote Judge Judy, don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Yep. No similarities there. Don't look a thing like each other. Completely different designs--even a blind man could see they bear NO relationship to each other whatsoever.

99.99%--no, I'll give you that. But anything under 85% is an absurd contention.

There are enough differences in that ship that it could've been put out by any studio with any other name but "Star Trek" and there's a better than average chance that they could avoid a copyright infringement lawsuit.

How desperate are you to cling to your precious "canon"? I'd bet a month's salary that if I made a poster of the Abrams version, put it on a 2x4 and and walked around town with it and ask "what does this look like?"--ANYONE who is even passingly familiar with Star Trek would say "looks like that Star Trek ship--the one with Kirk and Spock, the Enterprise, right?"

Still looking for a space background for this. Where is data65 when I need him?

^Let's also not forget that that side view is conjectural, and based upon Bernd's less-than-enthusiastic reception to the new film. The saucer doesn't look nearly that out of proportion in the trailer, and the front view of the ship, backlit by an explosion, as almost indistinguishable in shape from the '60s version.

I did this crappy sketch sans ruler so forgive the crappiness:

Anyway, this is based on tracing over the TOS ship, then modifying it to roughly what the STXI ENT pic looks like. I think I see some logic in the design now, I'll have to see more of the ship though.

Oh yeah, And that's my guess as to the relative size of the Kelvin down below.

(emphasis mine)

Careful.


Furthermore...

Weren't you one of those showing measurements and calculations to insist that the new Enterprise was more than twice the length of the one in the original TV series? Why does your comparison not accurately reflect that difference? Or is this one of those "Objects in the smoke and mirrors are closer to the same than they appear" propositions?

And on your "two quote": did she really say that?

 

[Captain Robert April]

The comparison pics showing a major size difference were based on Ancient's estimates, not mine.

I happen to agree with those estimates.

As for the Judge Judy quote, it's the title of one of her books, fer cryin' out loud...

 

[Rush Limborg]

But it kinda proves my point: Spockboy's rendition, seen on my earlier post, REALLY makes it look A LOT more like the original--and all he did was "re-fit" the engineering section.

NOW...anyone interested in testing out my earlier "re-fit" recommendations? (I don't quite have the tech to do it myself....)

My point is: all JJ's ship need is a few legit refits (more room for the engineering section a la Spockboy, and "upgrades" to the nacelles that remove the "turbine" openings), and some color-change...and it really will look 99.9... ah...well, rather 96.7 percent...like Matt's design.

Go ahead. Try it out!

That's like building the ship on the ground. Sure, you could do it, but why the hell would you when there are far more feasible ways to go about it?

Refitting the TOS ship into the TMP version is enough of a stretch.

Refitting JJ's Uglyprise into the TOS ship? That doesn't even come close to passing the giggle test.

...for you. Some of us are a lot more laid back. Heck, look at my sig.

You'd think so, but here we are. Deal with it.

 

[ancient]

Here a revision, and a comparison. I'm not sure if the STXI ship is actually this close, but it's possible...

Anyway, the design has grown on me, I don't think it's quite as clunky as the first image we got implied.

 

[archeryguy1701]

^Holy crap! They really are two completely different ships!!!! I guess the analogy that I used in a different thread was incorrect... they really did take the original ship and churn something out that was a differently designed as the Defiant!

Ok, here ya go. I tried to 3D it a little for ya.

 

[Captain X]

They have about as much in common as the E-D has with the original 1701, or with most any other Federation starship. It might as well be a different class.

It seems to me far more feasible that they'd build large sections on the ground to allow workers unskilled in the dangerous art of zero-G vacuum construction to work on it. Larger labor pool, safer, lower cost.
