I finally saw a picture of the new movie version and I have to say that I am disappointed. The secondary hull looks almost like an afterthought, maybe Digital Domain should have been chosen to do the effects!!! Mr. Gabe Koerner did an amazing job with his model.

Matthew: You were partially correct in your comment to my statement(s). I suppose I was fired up a bit as the official design didn't live up to my personal expectations. As I have wandered other sites, I learned that this movie is in effect a reboot so now I can be a little more forgiving about their new Enterprise. Although I agree that Star Trek is mostly about people, I cannot fault the new actors playing the roles familiar to us. Since the ship has changed, it is only practical that the actors change with it. I would like to point out, however, that the Enterprise D may have taken time to grow on you, but it is a ship designed for the future after TOS. The Enterprise in this new movie is supposed to fall into the past where there is a relatively established canon and ship design lineage. So please understand that I only reacted initially to the unveiling of the new Enterprise with the mindset of: "you can mess with the future, but messing with the past will alter our present." With all my rambling, I still have to suck it up and accept it since it is official and not going to be changed. We will all see how the crew interacts with the ship. @ 196. Matthew:

It's a little flash for my tastes too, but "alien hotrod" it isn't. It is still almost the basic shape of the classic E. Don't forget they had free reign and we could have got something that looked nothing at all like the classic constitution class in any way, shape or form. It is easy to get carried away in one's criticisms, but let us keep level heads here.....it isn't actually THAT bad. Especially so as the first pic was taken from an unfortunate angle, and it looks better the more you see it. I'd even go as far as to say this could yet grow on me and become a favourite E. I'm also more concerned with the people that crew her, and what happens to them. As Star Trek is about people.....not the ships. Let us not forget the E D looked like a flying turd.....but TNG was still great. Was it not? :/ TB #194 – you go FAR too far. It’s a little flash for my tastes too, but “alien hotrod” it isn’t.

I like it much better than the actual production redesign - it looks like the designers just went crazy. You have to keep in mind that the first ship is going to be refitted into the ship we've known from the prior movies. The first ship cannot look more technologically advanced than the refit.

Man, they just can't let that whole Optimus Prime has flames thing go. (although, in all fairness, my fellow TF fans whined and complained about Prime looking like that, forever.) Actually, I'd laugh my ass off if it did come with flames on the paint job. I'm not exactly happy with the official design as it is, so flames wouldn't be that out of the ordinary. :P Hehehehe Orci said they couldn’t wait to show us their Enterprise…with flames.

At least THAT's not the new and canonical Enterprise. But what IS...? Whew. At least THAT’s not the new and canonical Enterprise.

But what IS…?
