So, now that it's been around for long enough for most of y'all to've seen it, what is your final assessment?
Is it okay? Great? Do you mind the nacelles being closer together?
Can you deal?

I can.

I'm fine with it as long as it stays in its own little universe.

What surprised me is how huge it is compared to the "Prime" timeline version. She's got more mass in a single nacelle than an entire Constitution-class.

I refuse to believe it's that big.

I just did a little visual research, and based on the size of the shuttlecrafts, the ship can't possibly be that huge. They can give us a big #, but it just dosen't jibe with what I see.

Ain't seen it yet (in space no one can hear you gasp in faux-indignation), but still plan to...planned to, that is, until these nacelles of closer mutual proximity were brought to my attention. No sir - I don't like it! If Mr. Roddenberry had intended for the Constitution class to have its nacelles that close together, he'd-a jolly well done it that way to begin with! There are some things in this galaxy with which I simply cannot be havin',and 2 of those things would be starship nacelles that look like they're this close to going and getting a room!

And what's next? I'll tell you: Klingons and tribbles living together...MASS hysteria!

ETA: Given the content of several of the posts in this thread, might we not consider changing the thread title to "That's what she said..."?

The redesign is crap. There's plenty of redesigns out on the net that improve on the original, and some that look worse. But none of the worst amateur efforts are quite as bad as that.

Yeah, I've seen some GREAT ones, some thanks to you, Cit, and this one they picked for the new movie ain't one of 'em. I wouldn't call it "crap" though... it's better than the Galaxy class in the NG!
Is it not?

It is indeed better than the Galaxy Class and it is also better IMO than the B and C versions.
A will always remain my fave though.

Back to the diagrams and it seems like the figure of 725 meters has been taken from somewhere (maybe an official figure, I don't know) and then the drawing scaled to that. The windows on the new version are way too large. I would estimate they should be around the same size of those on the original timeline A version.
Which brings me to another point - surely the new version shouldn't have the A attached to the end?
It's only the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 at the moment.

I wasn't impressed by TNG. I really don't like this though, so I'd say this is worse.

725.35 meters is straight from Bad Robot Productions.

Maybe the windows are bigger.
