Hmm, maybe it gets refit into the classic ship.

Re: Trek XI Enterprise concept.
So it looks like it might be a reboot. Fuck.
I'm glad they tried to make it look like it actually fits in with Starfleet ships between the NX-01 and and 'present day' Trek, but I don't really like the way it looks. I don't like the weird antennae on the nacelles, and I don't like the four indentations around the circumference of the saucer section. Even if those minor details were taken away, it would look just like the 1701-E with stupid bubble nacelles.

Re: Trek XI Enterprise concept.
Keep in mind (assuming it's not just an april fool's prank) this is just a concept, not the final design.

I'm gonna go with an April Fools for the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with a design like that, since it looks like (except for the struts) if you added extra hull plating over the whole thing it would have basically the same shapes as the original 1701.

Re: Trek XI Enterprise concept.
I wish I could find the reimagining of the 1701 that looked really good, but I'm too damn lazy.
It looked really nice, though...

Re: Trek XI Enterprise concept.
i'm pretty sure the NCC1701 didn't have nipples. glowy bussard scoop bewbies yeah, but nothing nipply.
and the saucer didn't have any cutaways making it look like a german cross. maybe its the enterprise we eventually got if edith keeler lived

The nipple things appeared originally, and I think appeared on the first pilot and a bunch of miscellaneous stock footage effects. The one without came later, IIRC. I'm pretty sure that was discussed in the Reeves-Stevens' "The Art of Star Trek." Also, my vote is that while this is actual production artwork, it's pretty far from what we'll see. What I find interesting is the "-S" after the note - is Sternbach Back?

Re: Trek XI Enterprise concept.
At what stage do we normally find out that these things are April fools jokes? Aren't you supposed to admit it the next day?

Re: Trek XI Enterprise concept.
Assuming this isn't an April Fool:
The "plateless-to-plated" transition this is supposed to suggest might actually be what the illustrator is going for. Doesn't explain why the 1701 went back to having all this stuff on top of the plates in TMP, though, if that's the case. Beyond that, I can't fucking think because I think the roommate's pig noises are going to make me fucking vom if I don't put some earplugs in and bash my timpanic nerves with Nine Inch Nails, which will keep me from thinking also, but also keep me from puking up last night's dinner.

Bailey: Could be.
This need not be a reboot - it could be that the TOS Enterprise was a refit of this baby... Looks cool to me, though.

Re: Trek XI Enterprise concept.
Trek sites are NOTORIOUS for their April Fool's pranks. I wouldn't even visit one for the next week.
