Stelfan 0 Posted May 6, 2003 What do you think about all the Enterprises designs? Is NX-01 really the first one, if you look at its design.. Have they succeded in making it more "primitive" then the others? Of course you have to disregard that special effects have been improved alot since TOS was produced, still I think you get the feeling that NX-01 is before Kirks time, small quarters, the warp core, furniture and so on.. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 6, 2003 I think the NX-01 could pass perfect muster if only they had not Lit Up the Nacelles but I still love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted May 6, 2003 So...are they implying that the Akira-Class Design was influenced by the NX's?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 6, 2003 I guess so, does it matter?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 6, 2003 So...are they implying that the Akira-Class Design was influenced by the NX's?? I'd like to believe that the Akira-class was intended to be a replacement for the Miranda-class and a tribute to the NX-class as well. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poguemahone 0 Posted May 6, 2003 Well I like the NX-01 and think it fits the design patterns inside and out, and as far as the whole Akira class design, i've never really seen the similarities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 6, 2003 Well I like the NX-01 and think it fits the design patterns inside and out, and as far as the whole Akira class design, i've never really seen the similarities. The only similarity is in configuration, like how the Enterprise-D has the same saucer, enginerring hull, and 2 nacelles like Kirk's Enterprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Kirk 1 Posted May 7, 2003 I love the NX-01 design. The only thing that puzzles me is that I heard that they use the STNG warp scale instead of the TOS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cptwright 1 Posted May 7, 2003 yes, aside from "now technology, and special effects" one could beleive this is supposed to be older than kirks enterprise, plus i think its really cool, i like it. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Crims~ 0 Posted May 7, 2003 Well, the inside looks closer to current day space craft/space stations, so I think it's more believable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddillard 2 Posted May 7, 2003 I think that it is definitely believable. I mean look at engineering you have to go through a small hatchway door, (on hinges) to get in there. And the hatch in the Armery to gain access to the Pulse cannon has to be physically removed. Where as in most of the other series both would have a nice easy sliding door.

hellsgate 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Well, if you look at the Sentinel-Class by Cyrille "Tachy" Lefevre at http://shipyard.scifi-art.com/sentinel.html , its possible that there could be a lineage between the NX-Class, Loknar-Class, Akira-Class, Sentinel & Miranda-Class.

Now that's a sweet ship! I still like Enterprise D tho. Yea I can beleive that the nx is older then Kirks ship, can you imagine having to crawl through hatchways!!?

Stelfan 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Yeah, and they have thought about many small things to make it "older".. Like they have to press buttons in the turbolifts and stuff like that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thayln 0 Posted May 20, 2003 I like how Archer has to duck his head whenever he tries to pace in his ready room. Yes, it's very believable to me. Still a beautiful ship, tho. Wonder what the "windows" are made of. Do ya think transparent aluminum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsbs 0 Posted May 22, 2003 I think they did OK (STRESS the word OK!!)...but considering the technologywe have today vs the tech we had in the 60s, it would be pretty hard to make the NX look that primitive in comparison to the ENT A, unless they used a cardboard box, so yup, I'd say they did OK.
