Actually I wouldn't mind seeing this myself.  Somehow I missed the thread earlier.  The ship it self is not a bad design,  Its just not the 1701.  It actually would make a better 1701-B if you observe the progression from A to C to D, it does fit.  The Excelsior just didn't seem to fit well.

I prefer "JJ-prise".  Less dignified.  Sound's like a name a three-year-old would give it.

I will admit that the mesh is built very well so far.  Good work on that Kreeargh.

But, as I always say, DIE BASTARDPRISE!!!!!  DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!  *grabs pictures of Bea Arthur and Andy Dick nude and shows them to the Bastardprise*

I almost find this amusing... but I must ask this why call it the "Bastardprise?" So what, it's a bad ship from, in my opinion, a horrible movie. But still.... so harsh. Why don't you just nuke the thing if you wanted to really do something and cuss the ship out. And yet another question, why does everyone hate the ship?

I'd say a knee-jerk reaction to the new ship.

I'm a TOS person, don't like very many of the newer ships in the movies.  I don't like the new ship really.  It is alright looking, but don't see reason to hate the thing.

I agree - I think it is indeed a "knee-jerk reaction." Thing is, I'm a fan of the reboot.

Centurus. While I'm not one to say "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT", I really feel you need to lay off on the "Bastardprise" thing. It's become your holier-than-thou soapbox. I can't help but roll my eyes whenever I see you say it. Don't get me wrong, if you want to keep doin' it - I won't stop you, but it's just my friendly two-cents.

I ado agree, there is a difference from having an opinion on something and dragging something out to long.

We understand you don't like it.  It sort of the same thing that you just don't harp on SFC3 or OP if you don't like it.  Like it or not, it is part of Star Trek now.

I am not a big fan of the ship, but I will probably see another of the movies if they come out (or hit TV with a new series).  I don't hate the ship, it is just a design I don't agree with fully.

I prefer the pre-official "Rumor Enterprise" shown here; http://trekweb.com/stories.php?aid=478fb53d481d0&topBrowse=all .  It looks much closer to the original, and I especially love the image of her in orbit, which I refer to as the "Sunset Run" image.  I wish they had gone with that one.  Wouldn't mind a MODel of her, in fact.

Think you can download that mesh at Sci-fi Meshes or at least contact the author from there.

The newest Enterprise is a ugly ship to me no way around it. Kreeg looks like you got a good start on it, keep up the work. I do however like what ppl are doing with the Kevin, basing some ships from it for the general look. I like those versions that are starting to show up across the net

For the record I think Kreeg is doing a fine job modelling the ship.

Well I've kept Quiet for a while about this. Kreeg, Great work on the mesh, If you need some texture help, I can do some little bits for you if you want them.

As for the design in general the nacelles, forward part of the secondary hull and the neck (Neck is a bit too far back IMO) and the saucer are spot on, the rear of the secondary hull is too narrow and the pylons are a bit OTT. I also agree with Gafy The Kelvinprise bashes that have been popping up are a very nice idea, they remind me something like what Mudd makes.

Not that I'm trying to talk you out of this Kreeg as a good SFC version is needed. The current BC one is stupidly high on polies, and the others for SFC.. Well they don't work too well. But would you be maybe willing to compromise or make an alternate version that incorporates the design that ReyvinVinnex suggested? As that connie is so choice..... Come on I will pay you in candy or cookies.... Or maybe a bribe might help.... Kidding, Keep up the good work and don't let all this talk of the poor design put you off. Also I suggest maybe Contacting the owner of the BC model for use of his textures. They would benefit you amazingly well. As I won't be able to get you that high a quality texture.

personally, I wouldn't compromise on it.  But making a second one as requested would be nice.  But heck, the first one has to leave dry-dock first.  ;)

Sad part is I like the new Enterprise way more then the Kelvin.  I just don't like the shurlle bay/secondary hull on a stick.  To me the amount of work it would have taken to add that little thing would have been better to just enlarge the main hull more, add another level or two on the back of the main hull.  It is just eeeehhh.  But glad some people love it.
