Here’s a lisitng with Wikipedia in answer to Starship rosters…

Let’s not forget the Constitution. The namesake of all the _Constitution_ class ships.

Enterprise, Constitution, Constellation, Defiant, Excalibur, Intrepid, Exeter, Yorktown, Farragut, Hood, Potemkin, Kongo … and one more I can’t recall from memory… (I don’t have my original AMT decal sheet here with me…) Are there 12 or 13? Kirk says “There are only twelve like it in the fleet”… but who knows… lol

Excalibur, Intrepid, Defiant, Exeter, Yorktown. I think there was another one in The Ultimate Computer…but I’m drawing a blank.

Enterprise, Constellation, Lexington, Farragut – any more constellation class space ships?

My ideal of what the starship enterprise should be in the original series is to have it look like the 11 foot shooting model as lit in the 3rd season… (with the addition of real light bulbs in the impulse engines.) :)

to the article author: Do you want the Enterprise to look like the original 1960’s plastic model or the ideal of what the starship enterprise should be?

A subtle blue or whatever colored fill light originating from approx. 45degrees above and behind the model should kick just enough specularity off the surface to provide dimension.

There. Now pay me.

While I am an ardent supporter of this project, and greatly appreciate the artistry and effort being done against a background of time constraints by the CBS Digital team…and although I think that the new CGI model of the Enterprise is an improvement…as a Graphic Designer, I am one of the number who, like Daren and post #13 Dr. Image above, feel that SOME COLOUR to the “lighting” of the Enterprise would be very welcome indeed.

One of the factors that invigorated and made the Original Series stand apart so much, was it’s exhuberance of COLOUR in all aspects of it’s production…EVERYTHING, from it’s set design and lighting, to it’s uniforms and starfields, was imbued with a colorful zest. So although the lighting on the upgraded Enterprise MAY be more “correct” given our view of our real Solar System now…I firmly believe that this particular “creative choice” is a disappointment. I would like to see some overall ( “cosmos” ? lol ) colour added to SOME shots NOW AND AGAIN, as this is important I feel to further integrate the new material into the old without it feeling a jarring change from the lighting ethic of the original craftpeople on the show. And does the YouTube Video, in a thread a couple back show the LEFT light ( and I presume, the RIGHT also… ) on the upper side of the “saucer” blink WHITE instead of the RED and GREEN I so loved?…

I’m still thinking there’s a very obvious audio glitch on the last line of Kirk/Spock/Cyrano Jones … It’s obviously supposed to be:

KIRK
You’ll do it?

SPOCK
He’ll do it.

JONES
I’ll do it!

(Or something like that… I don’t have the episode handy)

I’m still not hearing Spock’s part of this exchange!! Am I the only one who notices this? Or thinks it’s a problem?

Glad to see the EFX work getting better…

I didn’t notice… were there any Tribbles that got CGI’ed?
