Does anyone remember when plot details started to slip about STIX...that one report mentioned that there would be 2 enterprises in the movie? A normal one and an alternate "more militarized" one? Or have I just gone crazy? Still gotta love this old joke…brings back memories

It was especially funny due to the fact that the original had them. In the episode where the Enterprise personnel all suspect Spock to be a spy because their first view of a Romulan shows them that they Romulans like just like Vulcans. The phaser turrets were manned by a crew of two sitting at the standard Enterprise console with a viewscreen and a few conduits added for effect. One such crew is overcome by poisonous coolant gas leaking from a battle damaged coolent conduit and Spock has to rescue them and press the firing stud to shoot the Romulan ship. Throughout the sceen Kirk repeatedly calls for the phaser crew to "Fire" even using the ship's PA system when the overcome phaser turret crew doesn't respond. Even the original models had a paired bank of phasers called turrets at the compass points around the saucer section of the ship. In the end it is just a model and not the one used for the movie but the turrets might have been sool if used in a plot line.

The version we are all "used" to seeing in the original series could have been the way the shop looked THEN, but earlier, it may have looked slightly different. As long as they don't make it look more modern than the 1960's original series, it shouldn't be a problem.

Enterprise 1701 was NOT that bulky, and it looks like a cross between Enterprise E, 1701, and NX-01. And unless we hear that this Enterprise will be seen in the remastered "The Cage" episode, which is unlikely, we'll be stuck with a "how the hell did THIS look like THAT" issue. But, I digress. I love the Enterprise, and if this is what the ship is going to look like, so be it. I have no choice but to accept it.

I would use it as an interim-step in making an earlier ship into a Constitution-upgrade. The Original ship would have had the smaller-diameter saucer, and the "bridges" are meant to support the upgrade outter ring. The next step would then be to skin over the open areas before filling in the decks inside. For that era the idea of doing the upgrades in interim stages might have had an econimical aspect. A perfect ship for this upgrade process would be the USS Bonaventure as seen on TAS: Time Trap, it had a similar sized saucer while still presenting the familiar Constitution profile.

If not enterprise certainly a different wessel. oh and regarding the comment; "this must be an april fools joke because in times of CGI-models nobody would do “old fashioned” sketches anymore. ;)" most if not all cgi-model work is based upon concept artists inital hand drawn designs, even if they're hand drawn onto a computer via a tablet.

The film sounds remarkably similar to the plotline of the book. BTW, that drawing is total cow-poo. Anyway, if the new film includes Kirk as a younger man and looking back, wouldn't there have to be two seperate Enterprises? The NCC-1701-A and the new one? We are also assuming that the Excelsior class of starship is out of bounds here. P.S. i'm 15 so don't bite my head off. Has anyone here read Best Destiny?
