"Enterprise" too advanced for 22nd Century

I’m not clicking them they look malicious

They aren't malicious. It's the fella from "Hot Fuzz" telling you "Don't Go being a Twat now!".

In other words, anyone who knows enough to call it the USS Frank Lin doesn't need the origins of the name explained to him.

Or in simpler terms, you're being a twat. Stop it.

I’m not being a “twat”.

It’s a pet peeve of mine when someone doesn’t use the proper name of something.

I get it from my father.

I’ve never seen that site before plus it has a bunch of random letters and such at the end of it, makes it look suspicious
 
Does anyone else think that "Star Trek: Enterprise" was too advanced for the 22nd Century?

From the sleek starship design of the Enterprise NX-01, which should have been more retro or more inline toward the pre-Constitution class, rather than the Akira-class looking one we got, to the 24th century style rank pips. Why would they use 24th century style rank rips? Couldn't the designers come up with a different rank pips for that period?

The uniforms were also wrong and ugly for the period. Should have been more like "The Cage" style era uniforms or completely different.

To the inside of the Enterprise itself. I think it was still far too sleeker. Although it did have push buttons like the Constitution class starship, the monitors and that were too advanced. The bridge resembled that of NASA control room.

Also, why did Captain Archer have a ready-room when Captain Kirk did not? They should have held their meetings in a briefing room or something similar.

It should've gone backwards, but instead they were stuck in the same 24th century style era. I think you can thank Rick Berman and Brannon Braga for that.

I hope non of my points were previously mentioned before.

All a person has to do is mute the volume of an episode and simply watch ENT, and look at that production. Forget about the exterior which doesn't represent TOS to come at all, but the eye test doesn't lie; it looks and feels 2 hundred years in advance from Kirk's universe. I can buy ENT being a prequel to JJTrek but as I've said it before, it's bad form for the Hollywood production to ignore what was done on TOS and go all out for ENT which the team created an interior which would make Scotty jealous.

They could've had a branching of the series where it leads to April or Pike but those numbskulls Berman and Braga refused to go there while bullsh*tting fans this is in the Kirk TOS universe. Gosh, it sounds familiar (DISCOVERY) but this pigeon kibble seems new for some Trekfans. Feh!
 

Are they not working for you or are you too stupid to understand the message?

That's the dictionary definition. Stop it.

How about you behave yourself and stop blaming your condescending nitpicking on your father.
Well now, this cascade of personal insults, name-calling, and goading is impressive! Congratulations, you win a warning for trolling. Please endeavor to treat your fellow members with more courtesy in future.
 
Then the daedulus is butt ugly. I know everyone agrees deep down.

Sorry. I think the Daedalus is a beautiful design. I've never understood why people think its ugly. Having said that the only acceptable design for the prequel Enterprise is the ringship as seen in TMP. There's just no valid reason for using anything else.
 
The Daedalus may not have the grace of its successors, but it's a very plausible design for an early, relatively low-tech spacecraft. The ideal shapes for pressure vessels in vacuum, the ones that distribute the pressures and tensions most evenly over their surfaces so they don't rupture along weak seams, are a sphere, a torus, and a cylinder with hemispheric ends. The Daedalus is a sphere and a cylinder, so it's a pretty logical design for a basic space vessel, one that doesn't have the benefit of advanced hull materials or structural integrity fields to make more elaborate shapes stable.

Besides, spheres are pretty. I would've liked to see more sphere-hulled ships in Starfleet.

The ringship would be in a prequel to Enterprise.

A ring ship wouldn't make sense for the plot. Why would a solely human made engine use a vulcan design?
 
Either way, the IRL reason they didn't use it is because they wanted it to be recognizable. Casual fans wouldn't know about the Ring ship, it's only been a background piece. Same with the Daedalus.

So that means saucer and nacelles.
