Someone mentioned wanting to see what the Pre-E would look like with modern markings, something more appropriate to the timeperiod the ship should belong too.

Nice. Any significance to '1983' apart from it just fitting the time period?

1983 was the year ST3 came out. I think the saucer (especially the edge) looks VERY Excelsior-like. =]

Nice drawing, Adam. Seriously.

But to the overall concept of "Enterprise", bleah. If the ship they use looks similar to this, they will have a hard time explaining to the fans how this ship is supposed to be less advanced than the original Enterprise.

The saucer is incredibly Excelsior-esque. It's flat, round, and slopes out at the edges. I wouldn't be surprised if the bottom was very flat with a few greebles on it.

Nice job!

Do you have the original of this? I'm still looking for a big picture of the official ship without any magazine text or other lines.

There are several original pics in the other threads about the Pre-E.

Looks KEWL!!! Now, if it had 24th century nacelles, then we'd clear up all doubt as to where this ship belongs.

But I cannot seem to find the picture that is use to make the above picture. One where the pre-Enterprise is placed horizontally and where all the magazine rubbish is gone.

Yeah, where is the original pic to the above pic. All I've seen so far are crappy versions from the TV guide.

The thing is that the entire ship looks like as if it is more technologically advanced than the original Enterprise.

Akira-ish design.

Sleek looking hull and engines.

What looks like a TNG deflector on the front.

I was hoping that the ship itself look dull to make it more consistent with the Trek Universe.

The TOS-era appears not to have paid any attention to physical looks and asthetics. But yet we see asthetics here, only to drop off once TOS takes root, then we begin to have asthetics in ships again.

So tell me what is going on here?

Thank you mister Vorlon

The more I look at the the ship the more I think the deflector will not be circular, but eliptical.
