Trek 11's ship IS the Enterprise

Gabe's Enterprise was awesome! That thing had style and kicked ass.

This atrocity just screams "make it look different to piss off the fans."
 
As long as I keep the memories of the Original 1701 from intruding my thoughts, screaming WRONG! I am fine with it.

I think the trick in allowing it to grow on me is not comparing it to the Old Girl.
 


I really like this angle. How the thicker neck connect to engineering hull backside. Its much better and more realistic then usual paper-thin necks of the TOS Enterprise and The TMP Enterprise.
Only downside is that i think the neck becomes to thin at the front. Also the nacelles are 10% to big. Other then that, this new Enterprise is vast improvement on the TOS Enterprise.
I actually compare the TOS Enterprise with the ugly duckling that has finally been transform to beautiful Swan the new Enterprise.
 
This revised Enterprise is ass. And I hate that picture of the Enterprise flying with the Kelvin.

OH! you mean this picture?;) I love it and from this distance the NU ENT looks alot like the Original! ( but that's just me) Oh and the only reason you HATE this picture is because you KNOW the NU girl looks good and you don't want to admit it! Especialy when next to the Kevin the enterprise really SHINES!:cool:
 
I don't like the nacelles. Don't warp nacelles generate a field along their length, rather than generating thrust out the back? Based on these pictures, it looks like they're trying to make them appear to work like rocket engines. They're bigger than the original, so it wins that particular dick-measuring contest. Thing is, the original was a Lady.

Other than that, the saucer underside is as flat as a pie-pan, when the original had a beautiful compound curve to it. The engineering hull is just odd.

Maybe it will be only shown zipping by so you won't actually see it that well...
 
Well, I wouldn't call myself pissed off, but I still dislike the new Enterprise. I have come to accept it, but I still dislike it.

That said, it's some nice modeling work.

This picture shows one of the angles from which every Enterprise looks gorgeous!
 
No it doesn't look beautiful. (Yes in my opinion- of course that's the point of the BBS- to give our opinions).

The CGI is terrific and it all looks well done. The Kelvin looks great, but the more I look at that enterprise, the more I don't like it.

The saucer looks too flat. The nacelles are too close together, too tapered at the end and too fat at the front. The secondary hull is too far forward, and the undercut below the shuttle bay is too long. It's really an odd mix of TMP, TOS, and "other".

As another class ship, and with some tweaking, I can see the potential in this ship. But not as it is.

Again, great CGI! Thanks for the update Smegger56.
Totally agree with this view point!
 
Why are so many negative. No trek ship is perfect that includes the original Enterprise and the new one. Evan my favorite Enterprise, The Refit has design flaw(fragile neck).
 
To those who think the new Enterprise is ugly, two words:
Grow up.

It's 2009, not 1969. You don't like it because you think it has to look like it was designed 40+ years ago. Too bad. This is the Enterprise for the 2009 and forward movie series(, unless it's changed again)
 
Looks like the Enterprise to me.:beer:

Remember in Star Trek V, when Kirk said he needs his pain? Well there are a few posters here who need to be negative about everything beforehand, during and afterward (since they need to fulfill their own prophecies, after all). Otherwise they'd have nothing to post about.

Wise up.

If you think a good designer like Ron Cobb or Mead would have interpretted it in this fashion this year, think the hell again.
