I can respect that...to an extent. The NX Enterprise – having been designed and built a century prior to the simple constitution class design (conceived in the 1960's and built with a low budget into a very simple model) – would not be a familiar-looking configuration to something that won't be built in the same lifetime. The basic elements of a warp-capable vessel would be there (such as warp nacelles), and perhaps some basic hull design elements would carry over (such as a saucer-shaped primary structure with a command center perched on top), but just as an F-117 shares elements with its Wright brothers predecessor, there exist a great many differences in design. <br />It is also reasonable to assume that the industrial look of the NX-01 Enterprise is due to the more realistic approach that function must supersede fashion (hence, the industrial ugly of the NX ship). Don't get me wrong: The TOS Enterprise – to me – is a thing of beauty that will never fade from my mind. The first space-borne fantasy of a little boy. However, you can't dwell on the visual discontinuity and disregard that the 1701 was made on-the-cheap in the 1960's. I can't fathom half of the arguments made against Enterprise (for the NX-01 or its technology), because it seems to me that if you think the TOS is in any way realistic... anyway... ok I won't go there. <br />The Akira Class ship bears A LOT OF RESEMBLANCE to the NX-01 Enterprise. It's true. It does. I think it was lazy of the artists and designers. But we could, if we try REALLY hard, use the excuse that the Akira Class was a retro-look in homage to the NX-01. That could very well (as an excuse) be the case. <br /><br />Sincerely, Alec KelseyAlec Kelseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362582200136973448.post-87093605105112176392011-06-21T08:38:12.143-05:002011-06-21T08:38:12.143-05:00Good oneGood oneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362582200136973448.post-46309849528393947042011-05-31T23:04:53.994-05:002011-05-31T23:04:53.994-05:00I must be one of the few who loved the NX01 design...I must be one of the few who loved the NX01 design.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362582200136973448.post-87096607022585909012011-03-12T20:12:18.855-06:002011-03-12T20:12:18.855-06:00This would have been a much better look for the NX...This would have been a much better look for the NX Class Starship it would have made Captain Archers Mition look like it had so truth and vilidety to it witch would have made the fans more excepting to the showAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362582200136973448.post-122105458490374852011-01-28T15:16:35.934-06:002011-01-28T15:16:35.934-06:00Ast ad ya dinner?Ast ad ya dinner?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362582200136973448.post-80496775660804705702011-01-05T16:14:05.050-06:002011-01-05T16:14:05.050-06:00I've seen that Juno figure at conventions and ...I've seen that Juno figure at conventions and I end up kicking myself for not getting her!
