    The necks Enterprise

    It’s a god damn shame that they showed this beautiful ship for one day and then retire for the stupid ugly Enterprise G, like come on it’s just a renamed ship how can it be the flag ship?

        I don’t love the idea that every Enterprise has been the flagship. I always assumed that’s just the role the D filled. Until SNW, no one talked about Kirk’s ship being the flagship. I don’t really see why we need to assume the G is either.

        I mean, there were decades between the C was lost and the D was launched. The whole fleet doesn’t need to revolve around an Enterprise.

          It was built as the Yorktown, one of the ships disabled by the whale probe, and rechristened after being towed back to Earth Spacedock because the Enterprise was destroyed and because Kirk saved Earth (again).

      It’s very retro looking, but I think the G looks good in it’s own right. Except for those BUKLY-ass nacelles, that was definitely a step back. The F is pretty, but it kinda looks like they took a Sovereign-class and an Intrepid-class and kitbashed them together.

        The G looks good for a late 23rd century ship. I’ll never be able to accept it as a 25th century design. As far as I’m concerned, they slapped the Enterprise name on a 100 year old workhorse.

        Mhm, I don’t really see the donations of the Intrepid-Class? Neither the Sovereign nor the Intrepid have distinct necks, the pylons are curved and rigid (unlike straight swept behind and or on actuators).

        I’m just disappointed that they used the F for one reveal and the mothballed it immediately after and by that colluding the timeline of STO.

          Not from every angle, but the underside specifically reminds me of Voyager. It has a similar primary hull shape, with a prominent set of lights/windows roughly in the bottom middle. And just for clarity,I don’t mean a literal kitbash since they don’t do physical models anymore.
