Clearly your wrong Simmer,

As my details say I’m The Dark Lord from The Dark Place, hell is small time compared to my Dark Lands 🙂

Its a nice pic but it doesnt look real to me, the clouds just look wrong.

I think it is more likely done in Bryce, Maya, 3D Max or a similar 3D rendering programme

Its a nice pic, but it doesnt look real. It looks as if it has been done in Bryce or Maya or another 3D programme.

I maybe wrong, but the clouds just look wrong.

The NCC-1701A was not the first enterprise, NCC-1701 was.

NCC-1701 – 2245—2270
NCC-1701 Refit – 2272—2285
NCC-1701-A – 2285—2295
NCC-1701-B – 2295—2337
NCC-1701-C – 2340—2344
NCC-1701-D – 2363—2371
NCC-1701-E – 2372-

Having the engines seperate from the crew part makes no difference with teh Enterprise. The engine room and engine core are on the neck part and all through the ship are fusion reactors and anti matter storage pods.

In one episode of Voyager they did transport a torpedo onto a Borg ship and detonate it killing the Borg ship

Oh i rember Buck Rodgers, a classic bit of TV, used to be on BBC 2 at 6:45 just after dinner 🙂

Those were the days, also Battlestar Galactica before they got to earth was superb

RE: SS Enterprise……………

While I am no trekkie, I have to say I like the design. As far as i know, the nacels, the bits that stick out a the back have to be that way so the ship can generate a stable warp field. I maybew rong but im sure i will corrected.

The Federation ships in my opinion very elegant and also very well laid out, in terms of distrubution of armaments.

But rember some of the Federation ships do operate in the atmosphere adn can land on planets, eg USS Voyager
