Will the new enterprise be larger than the TOS?

The angle of those lights makes it impossible for them to run alone the deck of the hangar. Look at the angle of the secondary hull to the camera. The deck would have to be tilted up 45 degrees or more.

As to the primary hull diameter, this is probably determined by the sizes of the windows and airlocks, which seem to suggest ships about the same size as what we've seen before.

The picture on Intel's website might not really be a screencap from the movie (at least not one that hasn't been photoshopped over), so you might actually be right.

Exactly. The windows on the nuEnterprise definitely look smaller than the ones on the TOS Enterprise...

... which seem to suggest ships about the same size as what we've seen before.

... which seems to suggest that the ships are not the same size.
 
No, the windows are airlocks look about the same as they are on the refit Enterprise, and that was virtually the same size as the original.

Also, on the Kelvin in the first shot that it appears in in the new trailer, you can see an airlock on the dorsal connector between the primary and secondary hull. The size of that would suggest that the Kelvin isn't vastly bigger than the Enterprise.

:eek: Then I must have looked at the wrong pictures or my mind is starting to play tricks on me...

Judge for yourself:

Note the airlocks on the necks and secondary hulls and the windows on the saucer rims.

I'm having a hard time making a screencap of the top of the Kelvin from the new trailer, but if you watch it yourself you'll see it on the dorsal just behind the bridge dome, right after Pike says "Your father was captain of a starship for 12 minutes".

Funny, I dont see any ''Air-locks'' on the Saucer section. I see them on the Enginering and Torpedo bays, but ''not'' on the Saucer? Oh and is it ''JUST'' me, or do the air-locks on the J.J.Prise look smaller to anyone else?

Well, you can't see any airlocks on the saucer, though there are indeed square gangway hatches on the refit saucer, at the port and starboard sides. The airlocks I was referring to are on the neck and the secondary hull on both Enterprises.

...and no, the airlocks don't look significantly smaller to me. :)
 
I Take it Space Therapist, that you have ''NEVER'' seen or ''HEARD'' about a ''Animated'' t.v. Show called ''SQUIDBILLIES'' have you? Are else you would have realized that cooleddie74 was in ''Charactor'' ;)

I reccomend getting Squidbillies season 1 on DVD. By thu by look at my AVATAR, That's Early Caylur, the head of the Squid ''Family'' that ''cooleddie'' was imatating!:lol: ''NOW GET OF'MA PROP'TY!''
 
If your talking ''me'' I don't see how you could get more ''SQUIDBILLIE'' with an avatar that has a SQUID with a ''BOOTYHUNTER'' Truckstop hat on, & a ''Sawed-off Shot gun''?! But if you're talking to ''cooleddie'' than YA! dude get yer self one ''O'' them fancy Squid avatars! Wooooooo!
