USS Kelvin...

I don't know. As it stands, the Enterprise wins for me. Now as both the nacelle and shuttlebay were nacelles, and the saucer would be up right as in a pizza slicer... That would be cool. Very unusual, but cool.
 
At first it looked shockingly incomplete to me but thats because i was a boring two nacelle guy i think. But now i completely accept it: it was right to make it look much different from the Enterprise, and so its got 'its own special charm' for me now.
 
Are we talking exterior or interior? Personally, I thought the interior of the Kelvin was pretty cool-looking. I would've loved to see more detail. I hope that one day, some creative individual will come up with a detailed layout of the Kelvin bridge, corridors, sickbay, engineering, etc.
 
riker would have laughed at it, and called it a sick joke. For many reasons actully.

One the bridge, those wern't viewscreens those where windows same gripe about the enterprise, since when is the viewscreen a damn window?

The lighting and the panels, I mean cmon those clear panels standing up in the middle of the bridge, explain that one please, it looks goofy.

It was overly bright @ red alert, it should have gotten darker to make the focus on the main screen, not on the bridge.

THe thing is the acting sucked so they had to make the CGI carry the Kelvin just like the Enterprise

:confused:

:lol:

ummm... anyways, yeah, i was thrilled with the Kelvin. I want more from that time. it seemed very lonely and outmatched. there's something really appealing about a david and goliath story. totally agree with Gep. you want a new series? bring back Robau and the Kelvin. it won't interfere with the movies, and it looks amazing.
 
Hmm I like Splosions. And nacelles! I wished the kelvin had 15 nacelles. And turbophasers! And transgaphasewarpic torpedoes. Transgaphasewarpic torpedoes are cool.

Hey, where was that guy wondering why the critics of the movie were getting no respect? Come in here, we have an example for you.


As for the Kelvin, I would have liked some nacelles myself, it looked a little kit-bashy to me. Even though there was no actual kit.

Actually, maybe Kit-Bash is the actual method Starfleet uses to build ships. ;)

Since 2233 at least. Since the Kelvin is the point of divergence, this is canon in the prime timeline as well. Obviously Starfleet later got rid of windows in the Prime Timeline.

I don't see why anyone's making a hissy fit about the windows. The bridge is poorly defended anyways and if you ARE taking hits to your bare hull, you have no shields and it could matter less where your bridge is and whether or not it has windows.

The Kelvin bridge didn't have those panels.

The Kelvin bridge had extremely subdued lighting, both in cruising mode and red alert. Maybe you and I were watching a different film.
