Can't say this really changes the new version much at all.
I think the shape and curving of it makes complete sense with the swirling hugging furious warp effect that bathes it. It just looks designed and streamlined to travel in that warp effect and glide amonsgst its torturous currents...
You know, I just realized this painting is the source of the odd Playmates Enterprise prototype that leaked out a while back. It has the black triangles on the saucer rim, gold dish, red bussards, narrower nacelles and straight pylons with the angled backs. As we know that ILM was tasked with fleshing out the design, I wonder how far the VFX team got with the version that was closer to this before it moved in the direction of the final design.
Also, that painting totally looks like an ilustration of the Enterprise as it might have been done for the cover of a '50s pulp scifi magazine. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

"Dear Penthouse..."
I'd like to get my hands on her ample nacelles, if you'll pardon the engineering parlance.

At this point, I think that was my favorite line of the whole movie...
And this pic might now be my new desktop background...![]()

If the new ship had adherents as stubborn as the old it'd no doubt cause a few apoplectic fits.
It seams to me, that this oneis more in line with TOS Enterprise & the one we got was more in line with the movies with the aztec panaling & so forth. I like this design ''almost'' more then the one we got.![]()
