It IS going to be a reboot. And the ship is looking good!

By reboot, do you mean starting a new timeline with Kirk and Spock, or starting a new timeline before Enterprise. The "Enterprise" and "1701" markings would seem to indicate the former, but the general design looks to me smaller than the '60's Enterprise, and even more primitive a design than the NX-01, and would thus suggest the latter.

All in all, for a Kirk/Spock reboot, I would prefer a more fluid (but not TNG-sleek) design, for whatever my opinion is worth. (I like how they paid hommage to the pilot with the spike on the ends of the Bussard collectors.)

I thought someone over at the Art Asylum boards said this design was an April Fool's joke?

By reboot I mean reboot. For all I know, they might have Archer, Kirk and Picard in the same era. That's a reboot.

I think it will be about Kirk and Spock, but with no relation whatsoever to the established continuity.

Given the date on the picture, I'd say it's quite possible. However I hope it isn't. It looks great.

I have to agree. Much as I hate the idea of a reboot, the ship in that pic looks really nice for such a project.

Star Trek needed a reboot. It's because they didn't have the balls to make ENT a reboot and desperately tried to make it fit with established continuity (and it did fit) that ENT failed. Too much continuity binds the hands of the creative talent.

When I went over to the original link to see it, up top it said Happy April Fools. Who knows though. It IS a nice looking ship though.

Actuallt that ship is pretty similar to the one we know...its just more textured. Im not expert but if you just put flat hull plating around that ship it could be transformed into the TOS ship. If this is indeed a flashback, I could see that as being a "prototype" for the constitution class vessel. I also like it because it fits with the rest of the ships with the blue nacelles. I could see that selling on toy shelves better than the TOS ship with kids. The one thing I dont like are the phaser turrets...too Star wars for my taste. Too bad its an aprils fools joke....or is it.....

^^^Well, yes, it does look hideous! But unfortunately this whole XI project is such a naff idea that I'm afraid that we're going to be inundated with these hoaxes. It's too easy to do. If they were taking the franchise forward like they should then no hoaxers would be able to adapt drawings of the old ship in that way.

You can also look forward to any number of 'hot' young actresses having their heads photoshopped onto bodies wearing TOS miniskirts claiming they were smuggled out of costume fittings.

It's all so depressing.........

^^^Or a shower, and oh boy! It was just a dream! blink.gif

I'm even more disquieted by whispers I've heard that the new movie is going to jump around in time ~ obviously if this is so then it would be to accommodate the appearance of Shatner and Nimoy, and this is what makes me worried:that notions of good, tight plotting are going to be sacrificed to what Paramount thinks will be a popluarist movie. They made a mistake of catering to popularist notions in Nemesis, and IMHO, if a plots is going to jump around in time, there had better be a good reason for it that is actually germane to the idea.
