Really the Kelvin? (Intel Website)

[B.J.]

Re: Really the Kelvin?

On the original, TOS Enterprise, there are three, circular, lit areas on the bow of the primary hull. Most people think they're regular windows, but I'm part of a minority who assume those are sensors or maybe tied to the navigational deflector system. They never appeared on the refit Enterprise or any other ship after TOS.

They're on the Kelvin ... and they're UNLIT! *SQEEEE!*

Actually, if you look closely at the "blue" pic, you'll see that there is a faint blue glow around the circumference of the circles, which tells me that these are definitely *not* windows (in this case).

Re: Really the Kelvin?

There are two nacelles, top and bottom. Otherwise it has no nacelles. The top "thing" looks like the stardrive section of the classic starship design, so either they're both engineering and such or both nacelles.

Re: Really the Kelvin?

Why are they both either nacelles or they arent? The top pod is clearly the new style stardrive section with deflector and docking port same as the Refit and new Enterprises have, and the bottom is the nacelle.

They cant both be the same thing as they are a different size and shape, although I think I know where your coming from, as on the blue wallpaper the bottom pod glows blue, where as on the red one it glows red the same as on the released photo.

Blue would look good, wouldnt match whats gone before but would look good

I dont follow you, why are they both either nacelles or they arent? The top pod is clearly the new style stardrive section with deflector and docking port same as the Refit and new Enterprises have, and the bottom is the nacelle.

He probably came to that 'conclusion' because in the blue image the front of the 'nacelle' also glows blue.

Yeh, I edited that in my post just after first posting it, seems you were a little quick for me though ST-One

I already mentioned this a few hours back in this thread...

Now this I like, this looks like a proper movie-fication version of the old one nacelle'd ships from the tech manual (Saladin class?).

I mean I can see the new Enterprise design as existing in the Trek-verse, just not as our favorite old girl. This one here though feels right.

Hey, maybe the ship does not appear symetrical because the saucer section is able to rotate somehow.

That's sort of what I was considering. The whole rotating parts of the ship thing seems very blurry at the moment.

I'm loving these shots though. The red nacelle pic is my desktop background now.

Pure starship porn. Seriously, this is NSFW, folks!

The URL seems to be legit.

Huh. I like. But I'm skeptical about it;s legitimacy...the font for "Star Trek" is wrong, just like the other fan-made poters. On the other hand, if its fake, somebody whipped up a version of the Kelvin using elments of the new Enterprise awfully quickly.

We had one other thing turn up on an Intel website several months ago, back here.

These are sweet, though.

 

[datas_cat_spot]

I wish the Enterprise picture they released was more like these. Large resolutions with a really sweet looking back drop.

The surface of the hull looks more Star Wars than Star Trek. Not a complaint; just an observation. Just the texture of it and everything.

And it looks like warp nacelles in the Abramsverse don't stay just one color. Whereas we've typically known nacelles to be red/blue, it looks as if, when not in use for high velocities, Abramsverse nacelles have an "idle" state.

I say this because the nacelles in the picture we got of the Enterprise appear to be inactive, and the Kelvin's warp nacelle in the "blue" picture is blue instead of red (which is the color the nacelle looks in the photo we got of it, as well as in the "red" picture, which makes it look as if the Kelvin is powering to go to warp).

Geeky observation.

I agree, it is like this Kevlin is in the proper time line, (pre Nero attack) and the Enterprise is in the post Nero attack time line.

I think you over-complicate this.

Re: Does the Enterprise computer run on Intel?

Anybody else love the classic shapes of the secondary hull and the nacelle?

Yep, that's one shit hot Starship

I find it interesting seeing the Window on the Bridge, yet in the movie shots, that window isn't visible.

I wonder if it is vaguely similar to the big shield over the window in Battlestar Galactica.

When in a combat situation, or when in an Ion storm, the window is closed to protect the Bridge.

In other circumstances, the window could be open through the view screen.

I suspect also that the Enterprise may not have an actual window, but simulate the window on the viewer through sensor data.

It would visually show a technological progression from the Kelvin, which is of an earlier generation.

Yes, it permits the bridge to rotate 36 degrees to allow proper operation of the turbolift.

I almost spit my tea over the keyboard... I'm really not joking
