Enterprise Tribute 2024

It took a while, but FINALLY, its finished, including the elusive F! Rather than just add it, i went back and remade alot of the models completely, as well as lighting and camerework so this is almost an entirely NEW Enterprise tribute video! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as the first, and as always feedback is welcomed!

Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of some of the Enterprise designs, but the way they're presented here is honestly just extremely cool.

[@Soldier4USA2005]

Agreed. The B model was just a repurposed Excelsior and the F model has several design flaws for no reason.

[@colinantink9094]

I agree. Connie and D will never look pretty to me. Yet. Amazingly animated and rendered here!

[@pike100]

​@colinantink9094 Connie and D are far and away the best looking Enterprises IMHO. I would put the Ambassador class in 3rd place. It reminds me of a bull shark!

[@PeterRichardsandYoureNot]

Agree 100%. I’m baffled by the versions where deflector dish is inset so far back in the main body. Isn’t the point of the deflector dish to form a shield in front of the ship so when traveling faster than light, even a grain of sand in your path would rip a massive hole in the ship, and this stops this from happening? Kind of hard to do that when the disk for the deflector is set way back in.

[@martykarr7058]

@@qhu3878 You kind have got it backwards. The one we see in Discovery and Strange New Worlds may just be how it was when it was launched, and what we see in TOS would be after a major overhaul, like the one between TOS and The Motion Picture. Kind of like what they did with some of the last couple of Essex Class carriers when they added an angle deck to them. And so far on Strange New Worlds, nobody's mentioned the Five Year Mission concept, so the differences may be modifications made for that.

You folks did a great job with the music, as well as the visual. Just thought that needed saying. I'll be watching this again; thanks!

[@jabbertwardy]

I'll second that! I was just as impressed by the layering of theme songs that I'd never imagined would work together.

[@Jan_Strzelecki]

That's a Star Trek medley. It's been on the Internet for several years already.

[@Nurhaal]

The music is a tribute track created by fan and is called 'Star Trek Epic Symphony: Where No One Has Gone Before by Sam Dillard. It's been around for about 11+ years. It was featured in the massive fan project, Star Trek: Armada 3 (Sins of Solar Empire Mod).

The TMP/TWOK Enterprise will always be my first love and the Ent-D my lady, but you've given me a new appreciation for all of the designs and I appreciate how much love went into the C, possibly the bravest Enterprise for all that we barely knew her.

Sad to not see the Phase 2 or the J here. If it's an Enterprise tribute, it deserves to have them all.

[@KDReeves]

(Firstly: Loved it, cried a little, massive memories.) If we're mentioning an extended cut, may I humbly recommend the Probert Enterprise-C, which was always such a phenomenally-gorgeous, most-appropriate intercessor between the B and the D. I love what Greg Jein did with what he had, and the C was always a great love in my heart for what they tried to do and what they succeeded in portraying to us kiddo fans at the time, but Andrew Probert's design-sometimes called the "Narendra class" because of Star Trek: Online-is absolutely gorgeous and I think speaks to the evolution of these designs. And I say this not flippantly, because initially I thought, "oh god, please don't do the Abramsverse Enterprises in this video..." but this particular rendering is so elegantly done, so respectful, that I honestly think "yeah, absolutely, that." I'm honestly glad that the author here did include them, and that's why I think the Phase II, the Probert C, and yes even the J, might make for a fine extended cut. Most of all, this video brings out so, so much of the best of us who adore the Enterprise in all her incarnations, and we are able to talk about it! Well done!

What makes Star Trek so beloved by its fans is how the Enterprise itself is part of crew, inspiring the same passion and emotion as the humans she carries.

@@jimmcleod7286 that was the best compliment I ever got! thank you!

[@Twopaw]

You included two of my very favourite Trek compositions in your foley track, Sam Dillard's 'Courage's Enterprise' medley, bracketed and bookending Cliff Eidelman's 'Undiscovered Country Suite' from Star Trek VI (1991). And the 'Overture' struck its initial stings right when the Excelsior III-Class NCC-1701-B's hull registry came wholly into view. That visual purpose- perhaps coincidence, perhaps not; who can say?- meant a great deal to me, and the narrative purpose I chose for my first extended Star Trek writing project, undertaken in in 2020: my late-TOS era novel _Nyota-Mtoto (Starchild/Prodigal Daughter)_ and its full first-draught, buttoned up midway through 2022. Seeing your video really made my day, and warmed this young Caitian Engineer's backpelt in an old Trekker's body with little effort but the arising of mighty dreams and their crafting, that both betwixt I expect we keep in safe and kind heart-harbour. Be excellent to yourself, and to you and yours, and be kind when you can!

The last season of TOS was in 1968, (The Year I was Born...!!!) I grew up watching the re runs in the 70's. Was taken by my Father to see TMP when in came out in the Late 70's. That was much bigger than going to see Star Wars to me...(though I love both those creations) What amazes me about Star Trek is the emotional response that just the ships themselves, presented with near realistic models (of something that does not actually exist), with some fancy and talented lighting effects, along with the music that accompanied the entire series, can elicit... Star Trek some how, got into OUR souls. The Ships even more than the Characters. Kirk, Spock and McCoy. Picard, Ryker, Data. and all the other 'central 3' each of the series so well established are amazing and memorable. But the Ships...The Ships were Works of Art, that etched themselves into our very Souls, still, now, 40+ years later. (except Enterprise 2009, Throw that thing out, with the Bath water)
