    What I never understood is how could anyone get that much into something that is so incredibly boring. I personally think Trekkie fans not only have no lives but must not have any personality either to like something that unbelievably boring.

    Well I had a very vivid imagination when I was a kid. I really couldn't wait for the next episode.
    What is funny is a guy I know has all of the original episodes on a CD and he tried to play it one day and I couldn't believe how my imagination had gone flat.

    Your parents didn't encourage a whole lot of imaginative and/or original thoughts, did they?

    Hello all,

    I think the only thing more ridiculous than the first series, was the second series. Just my .02 cents !

    Enterprise - 1701-A was very utilitarian, not a luxury liner like later series. I'm on the fence as to wether I like that one or the one in TNG.

    also just a pondering - but I'd guess that those that do not like Star Trek/Sci Fi and/or think it is boring probably fall asleep within 5 minutes of hitting the pillow.

    I think the enterprise numbered CVN 65 might have more fire power.

    However, this one is a close second. Definately deserving of the name Enterprise:

    Here's another cool ship, but it's not an Enterprise. Probably the most utilitarian, purpose-built ship the Star Trek development team ever came up with.

    Is it just me, or do all cars and all trucks have basically the same sculpt with different details? If you have a basic layout that works, you really shouldn't change it. You should just change the design, details, and stuff you put in it.

    Mateo, I can't remember if you're a Trek fan or not, but I'm assuming that you're not. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

    The Defiant-Class was designed to fight the Borg. Small, fast, agile, and just as powerful as one of the big capital ships like the Enterprise has been since the 1701-B (refit Excelsior-Class). They didn't put in any creature comforts. Everything was included for a reason.

    Except the real USS Enterprise CVN-65 wasn't in Star Trek IV. The Enterprise was somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic during filming.

    At least they were all present at time of filming. Even with all of the modern visual effects that they do using computers, they still use miniatures on occasion.

    I like Enterprise I as the best of the Enterprise Starship line, but I think the one I'd like to drive is Voyager. A very sweet looking ship.

    The most versatile class of ship id the Miranda class. Off the top of my I can come up with four different variants of the base Miranda class cruiser, plus the Soyuz Class patrol ship.

    Everyone knows the USS Prometheus was THE best Federation ship ever built.


    The US Navy should be adapting it's design for submarines.....imagine if a submarine could split apart and be 4 submarines in battle....join together for cruising.

    You can't have an Enterprise G. The E is still in service, and there's still the F that has to be accounted for. By that time, the Promethius-Class will be out-dated.
