[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] And by the way, it's not welding.. it's [i]gamma[/i]-welding! Okay.. we have an image of the new Enterprise. Let's see: - Constructed on the ground, which is fun. I have no particular problems with this idea. It's a pretty far-out high tech way to build a ship, but it looks more comfortable (for the crews) than building it in orbit. I'm sure they are perfectly capable of both kinds of construction. And it gives some impressive imagery like this, which shows off the size very dramatically. - Those art-deco 'Bussard collectors', or at least the insides of the cool spinny things, look very good. It reminds me of the 'jet engine' like explanation Franz Joseph gave to warp drive. - The letters, they be wrong! Meh. - The rest of the nacelles look a bit strange to me at this point. Very organic, almost Batman-style. - Ooh, it has visible phaser turrets a la TMP. Now, I still don't know why they didnt just fully GO for a proper reboot. It obviously is at least a visual reboot, but by claiming they are 'not rebooting' they are needlessly pleasing the people that don't want ANY change. I've always been of the opinion that the only way forward for modern Trek is do clean up their continuity mess, and just start fresh. It looks like they might be secretly doing that here, and I really hope it works out. It's not like they've touched the original 1960s Enterprise in any way by doing this. I mean.. all that is still there, including the fandom universe built around it. But I fear that many Star Trek forums will be full with crying Trekkies these coming weeks. I don't envy trying to make a movie for such a harsh, conservative audience. [/QB][/QUOTE]
