yours is better, but I think anything JJ Abrams touches turns to shit

I kinda like Lost. That's the only Abrams thing I know besides the new Trek...

Can't say Scotty would approve of the Abrams team's redesign, but your edits are a vast improvement.

For my money, I have to say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. [link]

Promus-Kaa In reply to ianscott76 [2008-11-13 02:46:23 +0000 UTC]

Agreed! And just the fact that they think it's broke is insulting...if you're going to do a movie version of something like Star Trek, you have to have some respect for what you're film-ifying, if you get my drift.

But every aspect of this movie that I have seen thus far reflects nothing but a crude dislike for everything TOS-related.

ianscott76 In reply to Promus-Kaa [2008-11-13 03:06:12 +0000 UTC]

I've tried not to be negative about this movie. Then again, I've also tried to avoid all spoilers. Imagine how negative I'd be if I hadn't?

OK, but bashing of the film aside, davemetlesits' rendition of this new, old Enterprise definitely demands respect, in that he could make it pretty decent looking, for what it started as.

<3
I really hope that the non-lit bussards are only that way because the ship isn't moving, I hope it glows when active/in motion.

Find someone to make a 3D model of this, PLEASE!
(preferably a super high poly one for you to use, and a lesser poly one for me to put in Star Trek Legacy)

davemetlesits In reply to JohnnyMuffintop [2008-11-13 01:05:32 +0000 UTC]

We don't even know how half the ship looks Speculative meshing is probably beginning today, by the uber-fanatics, but don't expect a completely accurate STXI Enterprise till next summer...

At least it's a taste, right?
Besides, I'm SO buying the models of it when they come out. lol

keiku In reply to ??? [2008-11-13 00:30:44 +0000 UTC]

For the most part I agree. I completely dislike the new ship. Not because it doesn't look cool, but because it is too much of a radical departure from the original ship. They should have just modernized the ship, not completely overhaul it.

davemetlesits In reply to keiku [2008-11-13 00:35:19 +0000 UTC]

I'm okay with the new ship. It's just an interpretation of the original one. It needs to carry on the words "Star Trek", no matter the looks...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

keiku In reply to davemetlesits [2008-11-13 00:38:26 +0000 UTC]

Most definitely. It has to say, "Star Trek." Which is one reason I didn't like Star Trek Nemesis. It wasn't "Star Trek," in my opinion.

Nemesis was a cheap TWOK reissue...

would you please move the engineering hull back, that's what bothered me the most about the new one.... wanhhh

davemetlesits In reply to chessykat [2008-11-13 00:28:33 +0000 UTC]

I made it so to have the TOS proportions. If you look closely, the deflector dish stands on a support frame, not an integral part of the secondary hull...

Wow... so is the Enterprise going to be shown in the new movie, or one you did yourself? Either way, fantastic!
