*Potential Spoilers* What will the Alternate Enterprise-A look like

but the magazine does include these images of the enterprise-A under construction by double negative:

this gives a better look at the nacelle pylons which were changed between hargreaves' concept art and the finished starship. and i think it’s the first time i’ve seen the actual digital asset outside the film itself.

Great pics, thanks for posting!:techman:

The more I see of theKelvin-A, the less I like her.... It's probably my least favourite take on the original connie, after the TOS one, the movie refit, the JJprise and the Discoprise - which I ALL like or love - this is the single one I don't like.

At least it's size is consistent (and not a weird mish-mash like on the JJprise). But it's waaaay to big for an exploraion vessel. If such a giant ship would suddenly appear in your orbit, you'd think less "first contact", and more about "Independence Day".
(sorry/not sorry re: size discussion:guffaw:)

I dunno.... In those constructions shots, the first angle is very nice. The second one, a bit clunky, even taking into account that the ship is ofcourse not completed. I think I do prefer the Beyond version of the Kelvin-universe Connie more. As for all of them, like you said..... Probably the TMP Refit the most, with, dare I say it..... The Disco-version in second place.
 
Can't wait to see it either. I'm sure the design will be tweaked somehow in ST4/14 lol

Can't wait to see the interiors. Hopefully a change there
 
The Ent 1701-A images belong to PixelMagic - who is a member on these boards (and also posted on page 48 of this thread).

His is an extremely accurate and amazingly rendered version of the Bey: 1701-A (possibly as close as we’ll get), and based on Alexander Klemm’s (NightFever) 3D model.

Thanks for the clarification. These are fantastic renders and probably 99% accurate to the originals, which are probably long gone by this point.

Long gone? Important movie assets (Enterprise CG studio models) are saved and backed up. I know for a fact the original CG studio models of the 1701 and 1701-A still exist. I know because...well, reasons...
