[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pensive's Wetness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [qb] I really don't like that, for all of the afformetntioned reasons and more. I've looked at my photos, my digital stuff ripped from the net, Gabe K's site, even my old models that I have, clamped and looked at thorugh different lenses, and I can't reconsile the nacelles placement (although the size seems OK, give or take) in this picture. And the hull lettering - what's that noise Sideshow Bob makes? As for the ship being built on Earth, I don't know. From a logistical point of view, the usefullness of having your workforce beinag able to work in shirtsleeves, and presumably close to the yard makes it cheaper and safer for them. Realy my beef is with the ship having a shape that suggests the spaceframe needs the SIF up and running to keep it together in an atmosphere. Unless you build it on a big frame, like in a drydock. The other issue is getting it into space, but again, we've seen the E flying in an atmosphere. There is no reason against building the E on the ground, but we've seen ships built in orbit a century earlier (and the Columia was in a more primitive state when we first saw her wasn't she?). Besides, the movie's gonna be crap anyway, lets just ignore it, like we do with the fifth one. Edit: It might just be that the trailer has nothing to do with the story of the movie though - the tagline "under construction" etc, and the ship we see here might not be the finished product. [/qb][/QUOTE]wow. here's a hankie, get used to it (likely you bitch much more in '08 as we learn more... :D well, teaseing aside Sir Ginger, don't automatically assume it'll suck. SURE, the teaser may possibly even be misinformation, on the level of Cloverfield. considering that both movies are made by JJ-A, your opinion has some merit backing it. the finished product could be intentially be different (i still personally think someone at Paramount is HUMPING the reset button that First Contact provided to us) but, what if GK's Ent looks more like what JJ-A will debeoy at X-mas? i mean, can someone check, for example if GK's design is TM'ed yet? by GK? or Paramount? another angle to wiggle insider information after all is merchantdising... legalise is legal informed... ;) cause all the looks ive seen of GK's Ent and the Tease look awefully simular. i guess the best is to ask GK to provide a pic of his ENT mess from nose view. the sheet of metal that rests on top the nacelles (the bulges that Lee mentions) cut curves up and away from our POV. and it seems most people think the GK Ent looks as close to the Teaser Ent as possible. my money is there might be more to link GK with JJ-A that what we know.... ok, im ranting... and to further muddy the beer stew with can's... how many ship's would be manufactured at any one time? for where the ENT was being built, is the Conny herself already finished? any others started? Ship yards being large messy places after all, how much of of Sac-Town/Oakland/SF is dedicated for Ship Yard Work? what other ships are being built on earth? or elsewhere in the UFP? hehehehehe, ya think JF's Saladin class gonna even seen, built or will Paramount totally bullshit the JF family and still saddle us with the Two Motor/Bussard Collector LOS shite?
