Bespin 8,484 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The Enterprise... a starship so well designed that you have to crash it for landing it.And besides, Kirk used it like a vulgar "battering ram" and crashed it, what, 2 or 3 times in the movies?

KK 3,307 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Having never seen any of the movies/episodes, how DO you land that thing? It's the better and more iconic design, but never seemed very practical me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Enterprise is too big and unwieldy to land, but her smaller derivative Voyager got to land a few times, all pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Running a search for images of the Millenium Falcon, I ran into a familiar image. I did this with Alain Rivard many many years ago. Most of the credit is really his and his beautiful 3D model of the Falcon. I just threw some lights on it and put it in a scene. He's probably one of the greatest digital modelers I've seen. I think this model is more than ten years old by now, but they could probably use it for the new film. It brought my workstation back then to its knees. The ship itself has a gorgeous design, and you can't find a single bad angle of it. Usually with less-than-amazing ship designs, they're sort of made in concept art in a particular angle, and when you view them from a non-concept art angle, they break down. The Enterprise-D is a great example of this. The Star Destroyers also suffer from this. But the Millenium Falcon, and in fact the original Enterprise look fucking beautiful from every angle. So my vote goes to....BOTH! They're both fantastic designs. Leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in their respective universes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Voted Enterprise, Enterprise and Millennium Falcon.For me the Falcon has so much more character. It's a rust bucket of a hot rod, but it has a certain rugged beauty. When it comes to space, the whole 'used future' aesthetic appeals to me much more than the slick, space age design of the USS Enterprise. Maybe the one exception to this is Bill Craber's Icarus from POTA (which the Ranger from INTERSTELLAR is heavily inspired by).That said, I'm the opposite with subs, as I'm a huge fan of Harper Goff's designs for the Nautilus and the Proteus.

I'm gonna make a LEGO model out of it one of these daysOne of the dozens of editions of the book I have has a really ideal version in the illustrations. Can't remember what publisher it was. It's not a full novel, it's one of those abridged kids things.The problem is many conceptualizations get the dimensions all wonky. Even the classic Hildebrand stuff like my avatar is pretty off.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I want to vote Enterprise in this poll, but I don't see the point. Either way, you win. You have the coolest "nerd" ship and the coolest "geek" ship of all time. There's a difference. Still, I think I'd rather have the Enterprise than a bucket of bolts that is constantly malfunctioning.
