[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] Well, I just bought the calendar tonight. And as for the Enterprise-J, all I have to say is... WOW. It is the most beautiful starship Trek has ever (not) seen. The display screen & the observation window where Archer & Daniels view the underside of the saucer does not do this ship justice. It is very futuristic-looking while intentionally resembling the NX-01 as well. And it's amazing to see just how tremendously huge this ship is. Judging by the windows on the saucer, I'd say that the diameter of the saucer is larger than the ST:III Spacedock. On the subject of the saucer, contrary to some Internet "guesstimates" of the ship's design, the saucer looks nothing like either a Galaxy class or a Sovereign class saucer (although the deflector itself looks like a GCS one). The tube-shaped "spine" of the ship starts at the front of the saucer where the deflector is. Actually, although the deflector is attached to the front of the saucer, the spine leading from the deflector housing up to the nacelle struts looks like it hovers above the saucer but is not connected to it. Only when you get to the nacelle struts do you see where the spine wraps around to the saucer's underside (but what that underside looks like, barring the observation window shot, is still a mystery). The nacelle struts glow like the nacelles, & have some kind of wierd jagged grille effect & look almost organic. The nacelle Bussard collectors are orange, and the nacelles themselves are very thin and taper off at the ends. The name & registry (NCC-1701-J) appear on top of the deflector housing. I'm not sure where the bridge is on this ship; the center of the saucer is just a huge glowing oval shape, I doubt it's the bridge. There is also a pod where the nacelle struts meet. That could be the bridge, but I'm guessing that the pod is supposed to be analagous to the NX-01's rear pod, housing the engine. It also looks like Doug Drexler designed the ship, not John Eaves as was previously thought. Didn't we make that mistake with the NX-01 too? All in all, a beautiful ship. Alhough I'm sure that some people here won't like it. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
