[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] I've seen the movie a few times now and concur on the 300 meters or so length- -The shuttlebay seems exactly the same as on the Kelvin -and may even use the same CGI files. -The big scale reference is the shot where they pan out of a bridge window- that definitely scales at 300(ish) meters. [URL=http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/darthmadonna/Untitled-1.jpg] Screengrabs![/URL] -The "weapons balls" that are in place of the phaser mounts match those on the Kelvin, at the same distance from the bridge and everything- a larger saucer would make the (standardized?) wepons balls look much smaller. -Bernd points out that the docking ports on a 300 meter ship would be only 1.5 meters tall but we did not see them used as docking ports at all, rather the side "docking port" was used as an escape pod launcher- the pod was popped out like a torpedo and only held on person- leading me to believe the port is more torpedo-hatch sized, rather than docking port sized. Maybe this represents a bouy launcher of some kind, or possibly the new Enterprise has rows of escape pods in the "neck" that get rapidly launched away from the ship in case of evacuation. -And if the Enterprise is 700 meters long then the Narada (a mining ship) is 6000 meters long or larger- dwarfing even a Tactical Cube. Kinda overkill for a mining ship, dontcha think? BUT IT'S AN ILM MOVIE: I dont know when ILM got so sloppy but there are a LOT of scaling errors in this movie- the scene where the shuttles first take off from Earth and fly by the Enterprise scales the ship at 1000 plus meters long! Seriously, that's just assinine. The Kelvin's entire secondary hull must be assigned to shuttles- Kirk's wife escapes on Medical Shuttle 35! Even if 35 is the total number of shuttles on board, they have to fill that entire secondary hull! [/QB][/QUOTE]
