When I first found this web page I lurked here becuase it basiclly the best Web Page on ST Starships.


I remember seeing a Fans Idea of what NX-01 Could of looked like. The artist Used TOS Enterprise as a Template.

It was an amzazing Idea! I loved the white look of it and I think it would of fit the Story line better.

Does anyone have That Picture!!?!?!
I would really like to add it to my collection!

There are also a few TOSified versions of the ship at EAS.

Just after the first top view of NX-01 came out in TV guide, Vektor at TrekBBS did a very good TOS version.

What does it say about something when the people that run it can't even hold a candle to those that enjoy it?

A while ago I tried to convince Masao to create an ENT-type ship to show how it's REALLY done, but he refuses to acknowledge "Enterprise's" existence. [Razz]

I cobbled this one together from pieces of his Hyperion and Paris class designs, with the nacelle from the Gagarin. (image here)

I think that NX-01 B is too disproportionate.
The saucer should be at least 10-15% bigger (the NX-01 stretch out even wider than the nacelles)
and positioned less close to the center mass.

That, or shorten those gigantic nacelle pylons, they look like 747-wings.

I am actually working on a similar ship, but without catamarans.

Those ships are all better than the NX-01, but still.. this is 2151! 40 years before the Daedalus is phased out, 10 years before the Federation, and even ~5 years before the Romulan Wars. It should really still look a LOT more primitive. Something along the lines of Bernd's Mauretania and San Fransisco classes.

Shame on you, Reverend, for this blatant kitbash!

What I find most amusing is all the people who say what the NX-01 should look like. Have they seen some kind of ship from this time period before? I know I haven't.

I don't know what ships from that era should look like. I do know what they SHOULDN'T look like [Razz]

The thing is, the NX-01 actually looks like what I think a ship in 150 years time might look like, whereas the NCC-1701 looks like a toy. Hence my theory (I don't expect anyone else to like it, but it suits me):

TOS was a late 23rd century TV show with an extremely low budget which described the adventures of the crew of the Enterprise, which was a really famous ship. Kirk, Scotty, Spock, all existed, but were played by lookalikes. So the major things of TOS happened, like the M5 disaster and the Romulan incident, but not necessarily how they were portrayed in TOS. The nonsense episodes, like one one with the dragon-cave-god thing and the we're-all-nazis episode were just made up, because most of the time nothing very exciting happened on the Enterprise.

Starfleet did not wear those uniforms. Perhaps it was a hippy-oriented TV show (would explain the space hippies).

Klingons always looked like they do in ENT and TNG/DS9/VOY, but the low budget producers couldn't afford makeup.

The movies are real, except for 1 and 5, which I don't like (as you can see this is a very whimsical theory).

The Constitution Class always looked like it does in the movies. It was never refitted.

The trouble with Tribbles was a holodeck program (if they can do it, so can I).

This theory (along with being extremely wierd) allows ENT to look realistic, as it does look okay when compared to the Enterprise-A.

All for the simple reason that my mind is unable to reconcile TOS and ENT being the same universe, and I'd rather have ENT.
