Now that we've seen a detailed pic of the new ship, I'd like to know how many of you think this is the right ship for this series. Just vote yes or no; don't give any reasons or attempt to persuade the other voters, please.

I vote: NO!!!!!

As if there was any doubt about your vote, Masao...

I say, absolutely not!

Do I honestly have to say it?

(Actually, I'll be pretty amused to see who says 'yes.')

There is not enough information for me to draw a conclusion. I require more information about the ship.

NO!!! However, it is hard not to give any reasons for my response.

Y'know, this is just getting pathetic. What's the point of this anyway? Is there a master plan afoot to take a poll of this ever-so-highly representative sample of Enterprise's viewing audience and send in the mob vote to the producers, declaring loudly that the fans clearly want them to change the ship? Or hell, stop making a prequel altogether...

Well, we all know that Internet polls are highly inefficient ways to collect information. After all, most of the poll systems I've seen in place have no way of safeguarding against someone voting multiple times. Add to that, I'm always seeing people offering little programs that'll ping a poll every so often. This is largely the truth for Internet and email petitions as well.

To be honest, I think it's a wee bit too late for Paramount to halt production on Enterprise.

Depends on exactly what the question is...

Is this the ship I would design for Enterprise? No.

Do I have any problem with the ship they've designed for Enterprise? No.

Do I think they've designed a ship that fits anyone's expectations? No.

Do I think they've designed a good-looking ship that fits in with the timeframe? Yes.

So, is this the ship for Enterprise? Yes.

But, could there be a better ship for Enterprise? Yes.

Choose whichever question was actually being asked and take the answer from above.

Hey! Some of you are making this difficult. I just want to know whether you think, based on the information at hand, whether this ship is appropriate for a prequel series.

Disclaimer: This information will be used to decide who will later be stood up against a wall. Nothing personal. I also guarantee your safety until that time.

The Tom and Siegfried: I don't sign petitions and have no other agenda than finding out how many people actually think this ship is all right (that wall stuff was a joke, by the way). It's too late to change the design, anyways. The trouble with the other threads is that you have to wade through all the arguments to get an answer. (I actually think the ship is good looking, but not for this time period)

So just a simple yes or no, please

In that case, I simply answer "yes," put on a blindfold, and grab a smoke.
