Um, didn't Riker command the Enterprise (out of mothballs and with some SERIOUS upgrades) during the 2 part SERIES finale'? And during this time wasn't Pikard retired? Yep. But that was an alternate reality that never actually happened. The ship from that alternate reality was still the Enterprise-D, just a refitted version(with 3 nacelles). However, the Enterprise-D was destroyed in the movie Generations(the first TNG movie after the TV series ended), so that reality never came to pass. *points to the opinion of Capt. Janeway on "Temporal Mechanics"/signed

Oh Q, will you ever stop toying with our feeble minds?
The three nacelle refit was pretty slick. I did like how they demonstrated how much more heavily tuned the D was at the end of the series compared to the very beginning, as well.
I saw Vektor's design prior to the choosing, and I have to say it was probably my favorite.

The 4th-place entry is the one I like best. Since both Ent-E and the Voyager ended the era of the round saucer section it makes sense without going over board. Ship evolution in ST seem to happen in small degrees not huge leaps. If the contest was about creating something that is a logical next step, than 4 should have been the winner - IMHO. Number 2 looks too much like a near winner for the ST re-boot design. Number 3 looks like it wants to skip quite a few generations toward the Ent-J which is a supposedly canon ship. I don't hate it, but like I said it seems a little too soon for that jump. memory-alpha.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_%28NCC-1701-J%29As far as I can tell, the winner is the true loser. How many sets of struts does a ship need? When I think of NCC-1701-F - I will have to believe that the F stands for Failure. Sorry Adam Ihle but that's how I feel. But at least your design was not as odd as... www.startrekonline.com/enterprise/gallery?share=1161All I can say is -- What the H... And how lazy is Andy to think turning the ship upside down was a clever idea. * * * Personally, I would love for the name Enterprise to be associated with the Wells-class fleet. memory-alpha.org/wiki/Wells_classmemory-alpha.org/wiki/Relativity_%28episode%29Relativity was seen in a ST Voyager episode I enjoyed very much, but the ship design says to me, "Yes this is a sleek ship from the future, but you can see where everything is that used to be on the multi-sectioned Enterprise of old." I just love that design, but it IS a far future design - 29th century -- so... { shrug }

Janeway on "Temporal Mechanics"/signed That quote is missing the part about it giving her a headache. She also said... "We're Starfleet officers. Weird is part of the job." STV -- Janeway (Deadlock) The above is my 2nd favorite ST quote, after... "The universe is a spheroid region, 705 meters in diameter." STTNG - The Computer (Remember Me) ;D
