I've seen that a couple of times, now, but not from a reliable source, yet. Where'd you find it? Are we sure yet that that's not just a fan render?

As far as what I think of it .... I don't .... *hate* it, I guess. Well, I kinda do. Mainly, it looks to me like the "neck" is slid waaay too far back on the secondary hull, making the whole thing look kind of ungainly.

*shrug* I don't know. I'd have to see it in motion. I'm trying to keep in mind that when I first saw pictures of 1701-D, that looked "wrong" to me, too.

The D looked wrong because it's a flying piece of poo. :p

See, I *used* to think that? Then they came out with Voyager, and I retroactively decided that the Big D didn't look so bad after all. :)

(Don't even get me started on the 1701-E, though. Or as I like to call it, the 1701-XTREEEEM!!)

You raise fine points, sir. Of course in whatever crap the E premiered I found myself wondering when they were going to stop making them, since they only lasted a year or so before whatever idiot captain they gave it to managed to destroy the damn thing.

You'd think after a couple of 'oopsies', they'd bench the morons with a desk job. I mean what the hell? How bad off does Starfleet have to be in the recruiting department to be stuck with captains who keep losing their ships?

I mean, I thought the captain was supposed to go down *with* the ship - kind of a self-fixing problem, ifyouknowwhatimean.

.... Yeah, I think that *is* the main problem I have with this design. Take a look at this quick-and-dirty "fixed version" I just Photoshopped and tell me if you don't agree.

Ayup, that's my beef too. I can handle the bulbous nacelles, really, but sticking the chin out like that just looks wrong.

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Huh. Turns out the dish wasn't extended so much, nor was the neck moved back, when compared to the TOS version.

The butt was truncated.

TMP dish, TMP neck (mostly), TOS neck placement, TOS nacelle placement, ENT nacelles?

Looks more like they just shoved the whole secondary hull forward a lot. Bah, I'm still going to see it, and you can expect much vitriolic ranting to come out of it.

We would expect nothing less. :D
