Looks like some kind of videogame. by rbatty024	Dec 4th, 2007 06:51:44 AM
I would have liked them to go more retro if this is their final product, but I doubt it is.
crap by Olee Starstone	Dec 4th, 2007 06:53:07 AM
i can see where they're going with the retro look, but its not that great. Doesn't look too teaslistic to me... i miss the old models on lines...
Could be from an upcoming video game too by xannibal	Dec 4th, 2007 06:53:50 AM
But if not, I still like it. I'm kind of picturing a space submarine (sturdy, functional).
Looks like the old Enterprise to me... by pancomplex	Dec 4th, 2007 06:57:10 AM
and the CGI in this concept just looks SciFi Channel worthy!
That's her by Yeti	Dec 4th, 2007 07:00:55 AM
Looking forward to see what they do with Romulan spacecraft.
Hurm... by Abin Sur	Dec 4th, 2007 07:02:12 AM
There have been renders of this quality coming out on the net since the advent of the internet - I've still got some of them. It may be the new Enterprise, but this can't be anything more than an early mock-up.
by jimmy_neutron	Dec 4th, 2007 07:11:26 AM
I believe this is a render that Gabriel Koerner did some time ago, before the new Trek film was announced. He works for Eden FX and did CGI work on Superman Returns, Lost and Alias. His website is here: http://www.gabekoerner.com/fx/ index.htm Given that he has done work on Lost, perhaps J.J. Abrams has brought him on board for the new Trek film?
Transparent Nacelles by darquelyte	Dec 4th, 2007 07:12:56 AM
Does not = Flames on Optimus or Nipples on Batman. I think they look pretty sweet!
My first, gut reaction... by ATARI	Dec 4th, 2007 07:13:13 AM
I like!!!
Looks like the work of Gabriel Koerner by flyingsparks	Dec 4th, 2007 07:13:17 AM
He's a fan and graphic designer but I don't think he's involved with ST XI. Here's a clip he made from the Intertron. It looks like the same ship to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =zGD6d921Ut4&feature=related
Yeah, I think I've had this on my desktop for a year by Drath	Dec 4th, 2007 07:15:54 AM
Looks like the same one flyingsparks is talking about. It's good, don't get me wrong, and it sure as hell looks like what someone trying to copy the general texture of the Enterprise E would do to a new Enterprise design. But, I'm kind of expecting something much worse will be used in the final movie.
flyingsparks - yep, that's Koerner by Sir Loin	Dec 4th, 2007 07:18:21 AM
Have to admit, his design is pretty sweet, it'd be great if they incorporated some (or all!) of his ideas. Just hope they don't change it TOO much...
You Know... by TheRealMoriarty	Dec 4th, 2007 07:20:11 AM
... I suspected it was Koerner. His various Enterprise interpretations have been awesome, but I'm not a big enough TREK fanboy to know for sure. I figured you guys would sniff it out in three minutes. Thanks.
I wouldn't mind if they reused... by eXcommunicated	Dec 4th, 2007 07:24:17 AM
...the design from The Motion Picture.
You could call him to confirm... by Shoegeezer	Dec 4th, 2007 07:26:14 AM
but be careful of your timing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =iPa4WTeqw4o
that's the biggest ... one of those i ever saw! by newc0253	Dec 4th, 2007 07:26:36 AM
that's a sweet pic, even if it turns out to be completely false. put it this way, i wouldn't be unhappy if it turned out to be true. worse things could happen to star trek.
Hmmm. by KentButabi	Dec 4th, 2007 07:39:13 AM
Its a mix of old, old and new. Its safe, but I'm not wow'd (though that is a very limited angle).
Fake by Surround Sound	Dec 4th, 2007 07:49:21 AM
There is not a ship that looks like that in any of the movies or shows...and it looks really bad to be the new Enterprise. The design is too Next Gen-ish and the saucer looks too small. Its fanboy I agree.
I really don't think by cornponious	Dec 4th, 2007 07:52:20 AM
they would make enterprise with transparent nacelles. I just really don't...
What's Star Trek about? by Lord Nerd	Dec 4th, 2007 08:14:27 AM
Is it cool?
Why would they redesign the ship? by GregoryHarbin	Dec 4th, 2007 08:22:58 AM
I get recasting the actors, and writing a new story, but why change an iconic design? Just add more detail, don't make the nacelles clear. Yuck.
It's fanboy, yes, but not any fanboy, its Gabe Koerner's by Wonderboys	Dec 4th, 2007 08:26:29 AM
The guy is a pro, he works for Galactica, and others, and his designs are very cool, this enterprise included: http://www.scifi-meshes.com/fo rums/3d-wips/ 24059-reimagined-enterprise-fu rther-progress.html
by Omar B	Dec 4th, 2007 08:50:19 AM
It looks close to the proposed re imagining of the 1701. They said it would retain the same lines but the surface would make it very apparent that it's separate pieces of metal welded/joined together ... kinda like an aircraft carrier I guess. Either way, the nacells look like the lighted ones they were going for later on in the series so I don't know how that fits in but the 1701 refit had light up nacells too. I'll say it looks cool as a model but it can't be the finished product.
Just saw the work of Gabe Koerner online... by BigTexas42	Dec 4th, 2007 09:03:33 AM
it was awsome! well, better than I could do anyway.
by Doctor Land	Dec 4th, 2007 09:46:44 AM
Of course it's fanart Please update the story to reflect that AICN before the gullible trekkies spread this everywhere

THIS IS NOT THE ENTERPRISE!!!!!! by Falcon5768	Dec 4th, 2007 10:41:38 AM
This was a picture of a "proposed" refit Enterprise Gabe did for the 2007 Ships of the Line book. He had since fleshed it out up till the point that he got pulled away for Speed Racer. 1) Gabe is NOT doing anything for Star Trek, he is not even a designed on the team. 2) Gabe IS doing Speed Racer, I told Harry this a few months ago but I guess it was not newsworthy enough for Harry to know who was working on Speed Racer.

Where's Scotty? by Jim Halpert	Dec 4th, 2007 11:22:41 AM
I clicked on the link and got . . . nothing. Some engineer out there help me out.
You have to take out the spaces... by Kelvington	Dec 4th, 2007 11:32:27 AM
The link for the image needs the spaces removed between the us/im g144 and the space between the w2. jpg. Don't know why he chose to post the link like that, maybe we aren't suppose to post links?

Zathras say: "Not the one." by matineer	Dec 4th, 2007 02:11:25 PM
Maybe we'll see something soon.
Not the popular opinion, but... by maniacmedia	Dec 4th, 2007 04:08:34 PM
I think J.J. should start from scratch on the designs. If he wants to do something to pay homage to TOS Enterprise, fine. But he should have the option of doing something completely different if he so desires. That said, Gabe's work here is very nice. I especially like the "transparent nacelles".
The new Enterprise should have a modern design, but... by rbatty024	Dec 4th, 2007 04:26:20 PM
with elements of 60's sci fi. It'll be hard to pull off but if they do that would be a perfect combination.

damnit!
The link is down, but without even seeing by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Dec 4th, 2007 06:14:17 PM
the picture I can say it is irrelevant. If this is supposed to be the Star Trek prequel, then they need to have it look like the Enterprise as it appeared in TOS up through the motion picture. It's a little thing I like to call continuity.
They should redesign it by I Dunno	Dec 4th, 2007 06:46:01 PM
They completly redesigned it from TOS to TMP. Sure, they said it was a refit but it was really a redesign like the Klingons were. They should do the same thing now. Seeing the same old ship would be boring.
They can't hide it forever by kafka07	Dec 4th, 2007 08:55:28 PM
since it's a very big space ship.
StarShip Creator computer program by LeviDTinker	Dec 4th, 2007 10:19:45 PM
wasnt there a computer program a few years ago called star trek:starship creator where you could design your own starfleet ships. i havent seen this supposed pic but is there anychance this is just a hoax and not the real ship. i mean honestly i think everything we have heard so far indicates this isnt a reboot of the franchise but a prequel. especially after shatner getting the well kirk died in the 7th movie excuse as to why shatner cant appear in this new movie. and nimoys spock playing a big role in it.
Piltdown Joey rumor has it by Falcon5768	Dec 4th, 2007 10:55:42 PM
That the teaser attached to Cloverfield will be just that, the 1701 being built in drydock.
TinyURL by Don Lockwood	Dec 4th, 2007 11:17:12 PM
Seriously, if they can't get whoever the yahoo that programmed the boards a couple years back to fix the damn link think, what's it going to take to get you fucktards to start using TinyURL? IT EVEN TELLS YOU TO DO THAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COMMENT PAGE. Thank you for your kind attention.
Well its gone now.... by Gremlin517	Dec 5th, 2007 03:23:08 AM

Looks like Shatner's anus by JimmyJingles	Dec 5th, 2007 08:49:45 AM
