I enjoyed the film, didn't watch the imperial version yet. Are ship designs the only change? To avoid copyright infringement so they could publish it commercially? (I remember my surprise when I saw Star Wreck for sale on a DVD stand!)

My Bridge Commander-honed eye for detail spotted "NCC-1701" still written on the nacelle tips of the Kalinka in the original version. That was a gorgeous connie model they used.

Anyway, Nice job on the Potkustart! All that remains to be said is:

FUKOOOOOOVVVV!!!!!!! :mad

Klingon Academy now works on XP/Vista/Win 7 thanks to one dude's patches, click here for details. I highly recommend it!

All the Trek ships in the film were changed. Not sure about the Babylon 5 ships though. Haven't seen the Imperial Edition yet.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Woo, this thread has 1701 replies :P

Well, this one makes it 1702, beh.


Also, I liked that ship, the redesigns I thought were sweet.

The things I could say about those warp nacelles...

If it weren't for them, it would certainly be an excellent design.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

I could redesign bits of it to be a Kelvin-Sovereign hybrid.

No no no, stick to the Finnish originality. Don't let these imperialists dictate what kind of art you should create.

"Beyond the rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

And don't let this one dictate what kind of art you shouldn't. :p

I have to admit though, it's the nacelles that kill that design for me.

I can't see anything wrong with the Nacelles.

How are you going to hard point this thing? There really is no basis for strength cause the Babylon 5 ships have no shields.

Good model work, Wiley... though the design itself does frighten me so... xD

The Kickstart is one mesh I might continue if I had nothing else to do. Right now, I have Dalek HPing my new Doomsday machine, and I'm designing a new JJ-Excelsior to accompany the JJprise v3 (or is it version 4). The JJ-Excelsior design can be seen in the Graphic Arts section here at bccentral.

You're on version 4 of the JJPrise.  :funny  Hopefully when the movie hits DVD, you'll be able to get some really good reference for the Enterprise.

Somehow, this forum for the last few day won't let me upload images here :s. Here's a link to a pic of the schematics of my JJ-Excelsior. Enjoy! :)
