[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally psoted by TheF0rce: [qb]All the details on this ship makes the original TOS enterprise looks like a cheap model{which is what it was][/qb] [/QUOTE] Strange, I find that the details make this ship look more primitive and less refined than the smoothness of TOS-era perfection. [QUOTE] [qb]They probably would have been better off if they stuck to looking like the constitution or daedeulus class...or even the botany bay---hey its the right era.[/qb] [/QUOTE] No, it's 150 years too late to be a DY-100. Spock said, in "Space Seed," that the last DY-100 was launched in the 1990s. [QUOTE] [qb]But, whatever i'm going into the new series having already cleared my mind of everything from TOS---just pretend TOS never happened and you be fine integrating this new show.[/qb] [/QUOTE] Or, like me, you can just happily integrate this show into the timeline without difficulty, since (so far) it violates no continuity. [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Red Admiral: [qb]It maybe an absolute beauty of a ship, but it does not fit in with what one would 'perceive' a 22nd century, pre-Federation starship to look like.[/qb] [/QUOTE] You mean, it does not fit in with what [i]you[/i] would perceive a twenty-second century, pre-Federation starship to look like. Although I have issues with some of the design, it fits rather well into [i]my[/i] ideas about what a twenty-second century starship would look like. Speak for yourself. [QUOTE] [qb]I had really hoped this Akira connection was to be an exaggeration. But now I see it is basically the Akira shape with bunch of stuff added to give it the impression of having some pre-TOS themes.[/qb] [/QUOTE] The [i]Enterprise[/i]-A, -B, -D, -E, and [i]Voyager[/i] are basically the Constitution shape with a bunch of stuff added on to give them the impression of having some post-TOS themes. I still don't get why everybody thinks a lineage along the primary/secondary/nacelles theme is okay while a lineage along the primary/catamaran/nacelles theme is somehow not. [QUOTE] [qb]The only solution die-hards like me may come up with is that 200 years later they commissioned the Akira Class as a kind of homage to this first Enterprise Class. That I could accept.[/qb] [/QUOTE] And that's quite obviously what happened, "in character," at least. Or (and I'm simplifying here for the sake of example), there are three basic planforms a starship works well in, the "Akira," the "Miranda," and the "Constitution." There are countless derivatives of the "Constitution," quite a few "Mirandas," and now two "Akiras." For that matter, other than the catamran, the ship [i]isn't[/i] and "Akira," since the nacelles fit the "Constitution" planform! [QUOTE] [qb]For this to be accepted though, I want to see other class ships from this time period that exhibit a more familar design lineage, such as the Daedalus and pseudo-Constitutions etc.[/qb][/QUOTE] Personally, I'd like to see the [i]Daedalus[/i] done up with [i]Enterprise[/i]-style hull plating and coloration. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [qb]Well, the heavy aztecking could be the result that this is an artist's conception of the model. I have one of the Enterprise-D and it's heavily aztecked as well. I'd bet the filming miniature is a bit smoother.[/qb] [/QUOTE] There is no filming miniature. [i]Enterprise[/i] is [i]Star Trek[/i]'s first all-CGI lead ship. I think it's a fair bet that we're looking at the final mesh and textures. -=Ryan McReynolds=- [/QB][/QUOTE]
