Skin on skin- is that too forward???

It always amuses us that single guys cannot read and think that if they email us they will be the “one”
that breaks down that rule and makes us just gotta get together with them.

You know THIS would have interesting applications for a CG Kirk and Spock in the new Trek movie….

The only thing I dont link about this ship..(UH-OH HERE WE GO)is :
(drumroll please…)

-the struts holding up the nacelles( I prefer the TMP struts by far)
-the neck holding up the saucer(I dont like how it has become a part of the saucer (like the ENTERPRISE-E)
-I think the secondary hull needs to be smoother in shape on the bottom (too busy looking)but I love the new markings though.
-I like the shape of the shuttlecraft bay on the TMP Enterprise the best. Very sleek and streamlined.

SO-
-TMP secondary hull (shape)with Gabes details and deflector dish.
-TOS saucer (with detailing to blend it in)
-TMP nacelle struts.
-GABE’S wonderful nacelles.
-and a side order of coleslaw.

There’s a group of people posting here that feel….redesign the Enterprise to look like no Federation ship ever seen before, fine. No nacelles, no Saucer, etc. “Bring on those changes!!” I think that is completely absurd and is as ignorant as what Berman’s camp did with the “Akiraprise” (although I did like the interiors on that ship).

I guess there’s another camp that wants the original E featured as is, only rendered in CGI. As a Canonista, I’m fine with that I guess…but I’d prefer a little creative updating…(as opposed to wholesale change). Besides being “metal finished” rather than White, I think Gabe’s Enterprise is a transitional state between TOS’ E and the TMP-E. Perhaps the time period of the film isn’t right for a transition, but I’m good with that degree of change.

We all know that later Trek series featured Grey, highly detailed ship designs — i.e no smooth metals and no “White” paint on the ship. That isn’t Berman’s fault, blame the people that designed the Excelsior if you don’t like it. You can blame Berman for allowing NX-01 to be the “Akiraprise” but not for the later looks.

I’m ok with the ship being grey or white. But I prefer more detail than a simple CGI replica. Slightly revisionist, but I don’t believe extreme.

Xai we’ve seen firsthand what the old girl can look like with a little money and TLC thrown her way.

No one is anti-change or anti-interpretation.

This film allegedly takes place during TOS timeline. It only stands to reason the ORIGINAL Constitution class Enterprise will be featured.
Only in this particular outing, with all the bells and whistles of a multi-million dollar creative endeavor. Jefferies design is so ingrained in pop culture, and so aethestically eye-catching and aerodynamic, I think you can easy get away with blowing it up on the big screen provided you render either a physical, or CGI model of the ship with details down to the square foot scaled.
Keep in mind, modeling techniques were slightly less advanced 40 years ago, different materials, different attitudes, different approaches.
CGI wasn’t dreamnt of for “The Motion Picture” hence a new approach to the Enterprise was adopted. Now, 40 years on, the technology exists to where you can get away with a film featuring the original Enterprise.
I’m sure some people on this website have fairly large screened TV’s and they can surely attest to how good the CGI Enterprise appears blown up.
Now add another million dollars and bingo, a movie ready original Starship Enterprise
