Enterprise NX-01</i>. These were drawn out from observations of the ship 'model'. The element missing in these discussions is the opinion of the scriptwriters-how they envision this new ship. <p>The script, though it says very little about the hull, does do a mention to the nacelles. These nacelles are to show the connection between this old ship and the ships of <i>USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A</i> to <i>USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E</i>. There is no mention of the first <i>USS Enterprise NCC-1701</i>.<p><b>Questions</b><br />1.) Do the nacelles of the new ship show this connection?<br />2.) Does the omission of the first 'Enterprise' give insight into the writers' opinion of this ship? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Dax</b> <br /><small>Member # 191</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,7,19,2,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 19, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:11 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> That doesn't make much sense considering the NX-01 nacelles look most similar to the TOS Enterprise than any other.<p>In fact, so far I can see design elements/similarities from every other Enterprise in the NX-01 except for the Ent-C. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>The Mighty Monkey of Mim</b> <br /><small>Member # 646</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,7,19,8,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 19, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:50 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The bridge implacement is similar to the Ambassador.

Anybody reading those lines would either a) not give a damn to the difference between E-nil-unrefit, E-nil-refit and E-A, as long as it was "Kirk's ship", or b) already be so knowledgeable on the matter that he wouldn't need to be accurately advised anyway.<p>I trust the script would not even be read by the people who did the model. Instead, the script and would simply be altered if TPTB decided to build a ship without nacelles instead.<p>Timo Saloniemi <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
