Star Trek

For some reason it seems like that damned chart has come up in the second or third page of virtually every web search I have made over the last six months.

So I was keen on taking a chance to actually use it somewhere...
 
TOS - Constitution class
TMP - Constitution class (refit), also known as Enterprise class
Enterprise-B - Excelsior class
Enterprise-C - Ambassador class
Enterprise-D - Galaxy class
Enterprise E - Sovereign class

That chart was something else Max, thanks for posting it. There were a few ships that it seemed to miss, like Space 1999. I used to watch that as a kid too.
 
I also thought the command carrier was off. They describe it in the show as about a mile long. that chart showed it as more like 3 miles.

But yeah, great chart.

But I agree with Max about the mystery trailers. It's like, yeah, we KNOW what Star Trek is already...
 
Feeling better and better, yet slightly sick to my stomache as I make and effort to understand.

Please lord dont let me go to Comic Con with Spock ears... Please lord dont let me go to Comic Con with Spock ears...

TOS= The Original Series?
TMP= The Motion Picture?

What are the others: B, C, D, E ?

The most important question here is "Where is Serenity on that chart?"
 
Okay...

NCX-01 : The 'original' Enterprise, a la the Scott Bakula catastrophe of the same name.

NCC-1701 : The classic 1960s/70s Paramount/Desilu Enterprise.

NCC-1701 redux: The TV Enterprise, refitted into its first feature incarnation in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

NCC-1701-A : A 'brand new' refitted-Enterprise-grade ship, replacing the NCC-1701 which was purposely destroyed by its crew in Star Trek: III.

NCC-1701-B : Based upon the Excelsior prototype from Star Trek: III with the addition of some cool John Eaves upgrades. Seen in Star Trek: Generations.

NCC-1701-C : A portly, dumpy dish-and-engines affair whose main narrative purpose is to get the crap blown out of it in a parallel-universe-time-travel-hey-Denise-Crosby-is-back story.

NCC-1701-D : The Andy Probert redesign of the Enterprise layout, for the tv series Star Trek: The Next Generation and spinoff shows.

NCC-1701-E : The Enterprise layout revised with an angular, elongated 'stealth-fighter' sort of sensibility, for whatever they call the last chunk of uninspired cinematic sludge Paramount chose to release as their final Star Trek feature.*

...I wrote that off the top of my head, to see how much of this stuff I've retained.

Way too much, I think.

Well, at least I have an excuse.






*having absorbed this information you now qualify for a free pair of Spock ears.
 
Oh... I've absorbed nothing, my friend. Happily, this excess of nerdom seems to be plinking right off my skull.

I felt myself start to drift into a coma as I reached "NCC-1701-A".

Come the day, I bet you wind up being the un-taken-over guy who comes running into town screaming about alien pod monsters, and nobody believes you.

In my own defense, it used to be a job so I can at least plead the necessity of having learned that stuff.

Although I expect that I would have probably learned it anyway.

You should probably be worried that you made it past NX-01, NCC-1701, and NCC-1701 redux...
 
So, is the Enterprise that appears in the adults-only version of STAR TREK going to be referred to as the NC-17?

;)

Correct; "TMP" is often used to refer to the entire era covered by the orginal-cast movies (in other words, 1 - 6).

What are the others: B, C, D, E ?
Click to expand...

B was seen briefly in the movie "Generations." C was seen in one episode of the Next Generation Series, while D was the main ship in TNG. E was used begnning in "First Contact" and in the rest of the movies.

Probably invisible at that scale. :D

Stick with being an extra, because you ain't making it in comedy... :Drogar-BlackEye(DBG

Ouch! Since my earnings from being an extra add up to a grand total of $60, back in summer 1981 in Tulsa, that ain't gonna work either... At least my day job keeps me afloat.
 
Meh.

Uninformative.

With welding in space, but for some reason the sparks etc behave as though they are in gravity.
