  • I was looking over the original Matt Jefferies Phase II Enterprise designs and decided to make this video. (Yes, the Bussard Collectors were Blue), I added a few details of my own, because it’s me. I hope you like it!

    I think why this scene was of such utmost importance in both this and the motion picture was that it put clearly in focus the immense size of the constitution class star ship! It is beyond beautiful! And this had never been done in the TV series!

Keep up the great work there. 🤩👍👍

  • @tarkas566
    @tarkas566 2 роки тому +1

    I have to agree with Stuart Young: this is the best Phase II ship I have seen. It corrects some of the flaws of the original P2 design (the pylons!) and makes an excellent mid-way point between the TOS Enterprise and the movie version. In fact, I'm more than half tempted to kitbash a version of it from TOS and TMP model kits. Very well done.

  • @marcosmaldonado6912

    This USS Enterprise 1701 design is fantastic and should have been in "Star Trek the motion picture" as a new starship refit. Its a awesome design and still has the looks of the original ship series but upgraded!!! Excellent Guys!!!!

  • @markpekrul4393
    @markpekrul4393 Місяць тому +1

    Much better, in my opinion, than the refit we saw in STTMP - which was really more of a complete rebuild, and hence probably not practical in the world of Trek. It wasn't just that the interior spaces were so different, the very dimensions of the basic ship changed. This was much better - new nacelles, weapons ports in the dorsal, shuttle attach points, etc.

We will be testing this system for any bugs it might contain. Again prepare to get under way. Captain Willard Decker, out.," ( This is why Admiral Kirk kicked Decker out of the Captains chair on TMP. At this time Kirk had just became an Admiral, and Decker just inherited the Enterprise. Kirk just wanted to command the ship after its next big refit in 2271.) If phase 2 had been a real show, Willard Decker would have been the captain. a new Vulcan , Lt. Xon. Would have been science officer. And .Lt. Illiea would have been the new navigator. Instead they all shown up in TMP for their one and only time. Xon gets killed in the transporter accident with another crew person.

    Very nice! I prefer to think that a few Connies were incrementally refitted to these specs in the late 2260s to make way for the finalized TMP Refit for the Enterprise. USS Merrimac (NCC-1715) for example :)

    • @BarryWKay
      @BarryWKay 3 роки тому +7

      I agree with you. I think the Phase II design makes for a logical intermediate step between TOS and TMP. I’m not sure of what the canonically correct time frame between TOS and TMP is, but it would make sense that Starfleet would have given the Enterprise a minor refit at the end of her historic 5 years under Kirk to prepare her for another mission of similar duration. They would have done the same after Pike’s run which explains the difference between the pilot versions and the series version. Perhaps the Phase II version is the version Decker commanded for some time before the ship was completely revamped into the version in TMP. I think the TMP version is so drastically different that it can only be explained as the next refit after the Phase II refit.

    • @richardched6085
      @richardched6085 3 роки тому +3

      @@BarryWKay Very nice theory. According to Memory Alpha TMP takes place in 2273 roughly 2.5 years after the 5 year mission ended. Since the Refit began 1.5 years before the film it's likely that Decker got 6 months with the Enterprise before it began it's extensive Refit. The Phase II Refit would last a few weeks (Far less given that only a few modules are replaced).

    Absolute quality work. I loved the views of the space station where you could make out plants and people inside. My ONLY criticism is that some of the dissolves in the space station shots occur right when a camera move is starting. The dissolves should occur a bit well into the camera move (which I'm sure you probably knew). But other than that. This looks pretty great. Some great artistically inspiring work.

    Certainly Enterprise wasn't the first Connie to be refitted. The ships M-5 heavily damaged (TOS: The Ultimate Computer) would have needed extensive repair, and if the USS Exeter (TOS: Omega Glory) could be decontaminated she would probably have been refit as well. I could see these being an earlier version of the new warp engines, perhaps from a different shipyard. In fact I recall something mentioned, perhaps in a novelization, about a Vulcan shipyard that supplies warp engines as well.

    What everyone gets wrong is the actual scale of everything. Think about what would be needed to have a Star Ship that acts as a war machine, a device to deliver colonists, ambassadorial missions, humanitarian missions, and so much more. Remember that they have to bring everything with them no matter where they go. That means maintenance shops, medical bays, science laboratories, sanitation, water reclamation, I could do down the list of what a real Star Ship would need to be workable.

    This is a great video, don't get me wrong, but it does remind me how I'm glad the TMP version was the final one. The Phase 2 version was just too dated, too 70s. I love parts of TOS, but the designs just felt like stuff of that time, and yeah the same woulda been with this design. The TMP version however truly felt like a space ship. This and the enterprise d designs was when trek really got serious about the idea of interstellar space travel.
