  Well as Jean-Luc Picard pointed out, the best ships always had carpet. NCC 1701 D was literally the Cadillac of starships.

  Some of my favorite tidbits from the J was that the designer for its brief appearance said if it wasn't ridiculous, he failed. LOL. I love that it's so big that they don't use turbolifts, but site-to-site transporters instead.

  I love that photon torpedoes had a range of 750,000 km but were usally used at basically  point blank range lol.

  Still love the E. It’s so sleek and sexy. And I love the colors; the warp nacelles have such large bussard collectors and large outer shell to show off the blue plasma glow, and the dark gray accents on the saucer.

  I really think the NX-01's design is solid. has a great predecessor look that worked really well even if Enterprise as a show stumbled

  Nice of you to give a VO role to one of the synths that lost their job on Mars.

  I was 7 when the news was spreading about this upcoming series call &quot; Star Trek: The Next Generation &quot;. &nbsp;My mother told me it was a remake of an older show about humans exploring space in the future and I was blown away. &nbsp;And when I first laid eyes on that ship in the intro I was jaw dropped and wide eyed. &nbsp;It had a huge impact on me growing up and defined my hopefulness for our future as a species. &nbsp;<br>I love the new ship designs and ideas from around the D, but none will ever mean so much to me. &nbsp;I cried when Geordi opened those bay doors. &nbsp;What a treat that was to get to relive those wide eyed days of my youth. &nbsp;<br>The Enterprise D is the true heart of the Star Trek universe to me and always will be.

  I will never forget the thrill at the end of Star Trek IV watching the reveal of the Enterprise A. My friends and I were sitting in the last row of the balcony of the theater, and as the shuttle came over revealing the main hull, we shouted “NCC1701A”! For lifelong fans like us, it was one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.

  The original Enterprise was the only one for 14 years, from 1966 to 1980. In that time, third parties (Franz Joseph, et al) stepped up to make the blueprints and the technical manual. The refit and the A model weren&apos;t that much different, so it wasn&apos;t really until 1987 that a whole new Enterprise was introduced. The C model was a one off, but most new ships named Enterprise were introduced around 7-8 years apart. These newer ones are coming at a faster pace, now that CGI has replaced studio models. Couple this with a decline in ability to monetize such works (the decline of print media, mainly), and it&apos;s small wonder nobody&apos;s taking the time to publish details.

  I&apos;m a Trekkie. This was a wonderful video. Also on Star Trek: The Next Generation Episode Yesterday&apos;s Enterprise. When Captain Picard said, &quot;Let&apos;s make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise&quot;.
