I hate that I just sat and did a spot the difference on these images. I feel like I am propping up a stereotype.
Bottom ship doesn’t have the same body profile on the bottom of the main body (engineering?)
The three things I spotted were hangar bay has a fin type thing above it, there’s an extra bit on the rear of the “neck” from saucer to engineering hill and the position and rake of the pylons is shorter on the Nemesis version which brings the nacelles forward a touch and opens up the rear of the engineering hill a bit.
A little fin, shoulder pads, and a bit more junk in the trunk.
I Magic-Eyed it and saw the same things. Fin, hunch back, and shifted pylons.
We can’t help ourselves.
Meh, embrace the stereotype. I love being a Trekkie stickler. I’m also now annoyed that I realize there’s a difference. :/
First one goes more left than the bottom one? That’s me done.
The booty on the “Nemesis” era E:
“Fixed” the Nemesis version to include Picard’s addition to the refit.
I love the D, it’s my favourite starship of all time.
But my god, the E looks beautiful!!
I never knew there was a difference. Is it just the nacelle placement and the little “hump” just aft of the saucer?
Docking bay also sticks out more in the back in the Nemesis version
Nemesis Enterprise got booty.
I like big docks and I cannot lie
That’s only because the nacelle pylons moved forward a little and got wider.
It’s a fin on the top, for aerodynamics
Also those racing stripes make it look real sharp
I may not be a smart person, but aerodynamics… in space?
form drag is proportional to:
- The denisty of the medium.
- The velocity of the moving body (squared).
Interstellar space might be very undense, peaking at about 10^-15 kg/m^3…
However the enterprise E is very fast, with warp 9.9 being approx 20,000 c or 6 * 10^13 m/s, and that matters twice as much
This puts the overall cosmodymanic forces at Cd * 3.6 * 10^12 N/m^2 or approximately the same as experienced by a Sandworm going mach 30.
So sure why not, Einstein and Newton are dead so can’t complain, and I’m pretty sure I could beat up Bill Nye.
I have no grounds to question anything that you said, but all I can imagine is this image.
Moving mass towards the center to reduce rotational inertia and increase manoeuvrability! Little changes can bring great improvements in space battles.
checkout out the treball channel on youtube; they did an entire one hour episode on the differences. tldr: they’re all extremely minor and there’s lots of them.
I didn’t know until this post. Interesting.
Same. That said, I vastly prefer the First Contact/Insurrection version. It’s clearly superior in every way.
“Everyone disliked that”
Pretty sure First Contact was a physical model. Definitely helps to make it feel like it has more presence.
I will not accept this travesty!
Someone didn’t read the label that said to wash the ship in cold water only and shrank the fucker.
Nemesis version stopped skipping leg day
It was cold that day, okay?
