So what's up with the trailer Enterprise proportions?

debush, I don't know how good of a look you got at the toy ship, but could you try answering a few questions? I'm curious how much like the TMP ship it is:

-Are there windows on the toy ship, along the edge of the saucer and on the lower hull parts? Or were they windowless?

-Are the engine pylons swept backwards like the TMP refit, or straight up like the TOS ship?

-Does it have the two torpedo launchers on the front of the neck, above the deflector dish?

If you noticed any of this I'd like to know, thanks!

And the most important question of all... does it have little three-digit numbers at various points along the secondary hull? If it doesn't... BOYCOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

Oh, sorry... lost my mind for a moment there. ;)
 
I'm pretty sure those digits spelled out "THERE IS NO DECK 78, SHATNER, in some sort of numerical code.

Remember the launch scene in Lost In Space? The Jupiter 2 looks like the classic flying saucer from the TV show. Then when it gets into Earth orbit, this is revealed to be just a shell that is jettisoned after launch, revealing the "real" ship, a souped up modern blob designed for the big screen.

So maybe the opposite will happen in STXI. The Enterprise first be revealed as the clunky aztek-paneled, fat-nacelled steampunk thing we see in the teaser, but when it hits warp, all the doo-dads will fall off like chunks of ice from a Saturn V, revealing the sleek grey girl we know and love :D

What doodads need to fall off the new one? All we've seen is a brief construction shot. You would expect to see doodads there (not the first time) in that context. Give it a break and see what they do with it.
 
I guess you missed my smiley. It was there to denote my comment was meant in jest.
 
Hi guys,the saucer its self is bang on tmp period,we know the ship will have 1701 enterprise on it,the prototype did not because they had only just started making it!we know it wil bcus of teaser.Nacelles are like the koener ones,but with no warp glow,basicaly st tos nacelles that get bigger towards the saucer area,dish was 60s,main hull like 60s, on nacelles had long red strip on the side of nacelle,cant remember topedo bay,maybe!didnt notice any windows,but the toy was in early stages.also tip of nacelle didnt hav orange glowing tops,I thing it will,and the toy isnt completed yet,but as a sillouette,its the motion pic enterprise with koener nacelles,a great job indeed!
 
debush's post run through the de-debusherizer:

Hi guys!
The toy isnt completed yet, but the saucer itself is bang-on TMP period, while the engineering hull and deflector dish are 60s-style.
The nacelles are like the Koerner ones, but with no warp glow. They're basically TOS nacelles that get bigger towards the saucer, but missing the orange glowing caps. They have a long red stripe on the side.
A great job indeed!
Debush, dude, you gotta work on your writing. Your posts are rambling and difficult to parse. Slow down, compose your thoughts. We aren't going anywhere.

Agreed... and it's not mean (and certainly not a flame) to point it out.

Particulary here, where our entire communication consists of the written word, using good (not necessarily "proper" but at least UNDERSTANDABLE and EASY TO READ) writing style is just better.

Otherwise, it's like trying to interpret someone who's talking who mumbles all the time, or has a terribly thick accent and doesn't know many words in your own language. You CAN "get" what the person is saying, but it takes more effort than it really ought to.

So take it for what it is... a mildly humorous piece of "constructive criticism." :D
 
Thanks for the info, debush.

Hopefully we crafty NY folks will get a picture or two of the new stuff.
