meh. can't say i like the new design a whole lot. and maybe it's just me but i don't see the resemblance to the original enterprise nacelles all that much.

It's from the ENT episode Azati Prime. Daniels took Archer into the future to show him why the formation of the Federation was crucial to the galaxy. He brought him to the Enterprise-J to watch a battle between the Feds and the Sphere Builders.

Enterprise B was boring.
Enterprise F, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, S, U, and Y are bad.
Enterprise G, I, P, Q, T, and V are ok.
Enterprise R makes me think of Somethingawful's jokes about Type R cars.
Enterprise W and Z are horrible.
Lastly, Enterprise X is cool because anything with X means instant cool.

Hey! B5 ships are cool! Grrr!


I actually like this design because it shows quite well where SF designs are headed if the Federation doesn't reverse it's Next Gen trend of pussification.

I mean, that looks like the Legolas of ST ships.

No way. I direct you to Starship Troopers. Also to V and Independance day.

Well whoop de shit. Its canon and you don't have any say in it.

Course the calendar itself isn't canon. But someone had to give the makers a proper design to work off of for the Enterprise-J, so the design as shown is likely legit.
well whoop de muthafuckin' shit, i don't have to recognize anything as canon. No one regonizes enterprise as canon, if you dont like it then you can drink the rain water at the bottom of the 1st street amtrak tunnel.

what you been sniffing chlorine off the blue plains mixing tanks, V ships are way better looking than that shit called Enterprise-J. The V ships are one of the best designed ships in Sci-fi. Starship troopers have some of the best designed ships as well. I do agree on Independence Day.

It was relabled from Enterprise to Star Trek: Enterprise, making it canon. It doesn't matter what you feel, Paramount's canon policy makes it clear that Ent is canon.

And if you don't like that, then your welcome to jump in front of the 1st street amtrack tunnel.

it still aint canon, do you know that if Gene Roddenberry didn't say it was canon then it isn't. That goes for Voyager too. TOS/TNG/DS9 is canon, VOY, ENT is not. So you can also dig into the 1st street amtrak tunnel and lick bird shit from the rails.

You make my head hurt...

That quote is specifically used because of the Darkstar tactic of only using a certain quote by Lucas to disqualify everything not seen in the movies. I'm almost positive that Paramount decides canonocity of the series.

ask anyone in this room, Enterprise is NOT canon, nor will it ever be. Just because something has the star trek title doesn't mean it is considered canon.

The E-J is indeed a PoS. I cannot believe how badly they are now butchering simple engineering. It's almost as if they WANTED their new ships (ie. Valdore, E-J) to be ridiculously flimsy, with the worst possible volume:surface-area ratios.

I think there was a Klingon Vorcha attack cruiser in the "Azati Prime" battle.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.
