What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 1701

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

Clearly the only true Enterprise is CV-6, the rest are barely cheap imitations being used to cash in on the lowest common denominator.

NCC-1701? Feh.

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

Ummm...yeah...but, no.

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

CV-6? Isnt that the crappy ringed ship?

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

Nope.

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

Which one is it? A real life Enterprise from our history? The space shuttle?

Aircraft carrier, oddly enough, the seventh ship to bear the name.

ETA: Ninja'd. Damn it.

Duh. Of course. I must be going senile.

I prefer the new Enterprise. It's bigger. Still has the same plot holes when they do interior shots that the old one had, and looks to me a lot cooler and more modern.

It's got a more aggressive look to it which I like.

Plus atmospheric engines in the nacelles I think. What's not to like?

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

The plot holes in interior were added as a safety measure at the insistence of the Vulcans and the Europeans. Experiencing long story consistency causes a dangerous form of space sickness.

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

Such plot holes include the round walkways that descend forever with a straight path down the middle. Also Engineering looks way bigger then what could possibly fit inside that secondary hull but I forgive it as it's Trek hehe.

Off topic, but I noticed that picture looks reversed. Hendrix played left-handed using a right-handed strat. Not to mention the Fender logo appears backwards.

Meanwhile the Romulans look on, laughing at the humans and their puny insistence on hand rails.

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

No OSHA on Romulus (or the Galactic Empire).

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

I choose the original. Mostly because I can't stand the warp nacelles on the new version. If they had toned those down to look sleeker rather than the fat, bulging insect eyes it has at the front, it could have been great.

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

Yeah. I wonder if they are going to tone those nacelles down with the refit. I enjoyed your description of them. Pretty creative.

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

Except when an Engineering officer asks Trip why someone would put their hand on a handrail?

Also, humans may have hand rails, but they also have exploding consoles, so it all evens out.

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

What refit?

 

Re: What Enterprise Do You Prefer? NuENterprise NCC 1701 or TOS NCC 17

The ship was trashed at the end of STID and it looks like they have done some work on the ship. When we see her in the next movie there may be more work done for the 5 year mission.
