Shatner comments on the look of the new Enterprise.  I agree with him completely!

Always good to have the Shatner seal of approval.

My issue with the design has isn't that it's not a good Star Trek design, it's that it's not a very good design, period. It's awkward and not well balanced or proportioned. It could have been the USS Whatever in the new "Space Big Adventure" movie and I would still think the same thing.

And speaking as a Trek fan, I still don't get why such a radical secondary hull and an almost clone of the refit Primary hull. Just odd.   :wacko

[Rico]

Well balanced?!  It's used in SPACE!  Oh, take another look at the Enterprise - D from TNG.  Not that design is not balanced.

[Bryancd]

Oh, I have never liked the D. :)

WHAT!!!  :jawdrop  The D was the best Enterprise.  :biggrin

The Hilton with nacelles? Oh yeah, it's a beaut! ;)

The ST-TMP refit, so lovingly filmed in its intro scene, the most beautiful sci-fi model EVER made.  :wub

The more I see the new ship, the more I love it. I also see this issue with the new ship as the same issue they had with the original and the refit when it first came out. The refit vs the TOS enterprise was just as radical a departure. I don't see any problem with the curves of the ships. It's something that might have happened in the past if they could fabricate the curves as easily as they did the straight lines. Curves are much harder, but look so much more elegant to me.

I don't want to incur the wrath of Kenny but I never really liked the D either. It grew on me later on, or I got used to it more likely but it was more tolerance than anything else.

The E is a different story altogther though. Love that ship!

I'm nor sure about the new one. I still want to see it in action before I decide.

LOL... I save my wraths for Bryan.. he's special. :)

I really didn't get into ST until TNG so D was my Enterprise and I love the fact that it separated. I like the other ships but D will always be the best.. in my eyes.

[Dangelus]

Ah the D.... Love that ship but remember it was an experiment by Starfleet. A ship will civilians and families could not be much different on the inside. As for the external design, did take a while to grow on me maybe because it looked a little 'squat' perhaps.

[Bryancd]

Kenny and I like the rough stuff!

Some new images of a new Kirk doll also gives us a glimpse of  the new phaser, sort of looks like the assualt design.
