Re: JJ AMBRANS Enterprise
I meant up above the top of the saucer like TOS, not level with the saucer.

That highlights what's wrong with the Abrams design. the secondary hull is just too small and throws the whole rest of the ship off balance.
Here's another tweak...

Must be the angle. I'm not seeing them above the saucer. I'll concede that I could be wrong. If so I'll be happy to be so as I don't like them the way that picture makes them look.

Re: JJ AMBRANS Enterprise
I concur. I can live with the rest, but the secondary hull being so small makes the whole ship seem disproportionate. EchoSix's "tweak" looks much better IMO.

Are you kidding?
That manip makes the ship look pregnant.

Yes, so far I haven't seen Abrams amateurish design bettered by the amateurs here. Love though there is in the attempt. Good design is a serious craft not to be trifled with. It's just that we laypeople can often recognize when it's wrong - even if we don't quite know why or how to fix it. Clearly. And that goes for me, too

Re: JJ AMBRANS Enterprise
Well I see that Playmates has announced the first wave of Trek Movie figures, and they are in 3 3/4-inch scale! same size as all those Star Wars figures. So you fanatics can finally have Vader btch-slap Captain Kirk, thus fulfilling thirty years of deeply-held fantasies. :lol

I like the new design & it is hard to tell from just that pic, but here is my tweak.

Re: JJ AMBRANS Enterprise
Not a fan of the engine nacelles,what's with all the fan blades and intakes?Having said that though I do hate the design less the more I see it but I probably won't be spending any money buying a plastic representation of this though.
So in order of design coolness(to my eye)
Enterprise-A/Refit Enterprise
Enterprise-D
Enterprise-C
TOS Enterprise
Enterprise-E
Enterprise Enterprise
Abrams' Enterprise
Enterprise-B

Re: JJ AMBRANS Enterprise
I like your list, Drone! I too am one of the few who can appreciate the 1701-D. :cool
I'd put TOS higher up tho... my list would go
TOS (sweet)
TMP (even better in some ways but classic still rules)
1701-D (mmm)
1701-C (jaunty!)
NX-01 (sigh... reluctantly :lol)
1701-B (ugh, Excelsior)
1701-E (my eyes, the goggles do nothing)
and uh.. wait and see on the Abrams.

Re: JJ AMBRANS Enterprise
The resemblance to the 1701-C is rather striking. I always did like the C. :cool
The saucer section definitely dominates, and both ships have the huge fantail cutaway down below. The C just feels more "right" somehow... the tucked-in low nacelles really work here, and they are held out on those right-angle supports as opposed to th wonky airplane-wing supports on the Abrams.

It's not exactly what I wanted to see, but it's Trek and it gives me one more opportunity to enjoy the franchise with the original characters.
