Starships

[yenny]

There is a very small starship that is dock at the station. It is dock at the front left ring, on the right. Most likely the USS. Mayflower.

Anyone remember playing the Starfleet Academy game by Interplay and playing the Kobayashi Maru mission? The ship in the game reminds me of the design of the Maru in the new film? Can anyone else verify or am I gonna have to pull out the old CD's and play it again?

I made this before the movie came out and before I'd seen it:

Obviously, my guesses were a bit off (but not as much as I expected) but there are eight big ships visible there, counting the Enterprise. There are also four small hard-to-distinguish ships that I called "sombreros" (one of which I think you are talking about) that may or may not all be of the same configuration, any one of which might have also gone with the other seven to Vulcan with the Enterprise trailing behind.

I think the question is, really, how explicit was the dialogue as to how many ships were going?

I'm pretty confident the KM design in the movie was at least based on a previously existing design. I don't recall what the SFA version looked like, though. (I'm envious that you still have those discs! )

Seven names starships were mention at the Academy, and one mention before they came out of warp.

 

[Dukhat]

These are the name of the seven starships, that was at the spacedock with the Enterprise, and destroyed by Nero over Vulcan. Also, USS was mention in front of those names.

USS. Antares or Centaurus
USS. Farragut
USS. Hood
USS. Mendez or Vincenz
USS. Wilcott
USS. Nimitz
USS. Truman

1. The Antares (mistakenly referred to as the Centaurus by some), the Farragut, the Hood, the Walcott and the Enterprise were the only names heard called out during the cadet boarding scene (5 ships).

2. The Truman was also named by Pike after the Enterprise reached Vulcan. Persumably the Truman was also part of the original fleet (1 ship).

3. There is saucer wreckage with part of a name visible: "-LOWE-", which many people have hypothesized to be "MAYFLOWER" (1 ship).

4. That's seven ships, which leaves one name unaccounted for. The four small station support ships Preator outlined in purple did not go to Vulcan, as the dialog states only seven ships besides the Enterprise were dispatched.

5. I don't know where you got the names "Mendez," "Vincenz," or "Nimitz" from. I certainly didn't hear those names in the dialog. Care to elaborate?

The one you have marked as Enterprise looks like the nacelles are attached to the saucer. That isn't JJPrise..something else.

Unless I'm looking at the wrong ship in the picture.

 

[Dukhat]

It's the Enterprise. At that angle, you can't see the engineering hull.

Funny how this version of Big-E looks so different from various angles.
