Old TOS Enterprise "stolen from Space Dock". NCC1701 USS Enterprise leaves Space Dock

Used my own model and made a video to see what it would look like if the TOS Enterprise was stolen from Space Dock. No actors, just space vessels in this videos.

[@humbleevidenceaccepter7712]

Dockmaster: "Everytime I turn around, someone is stealing a ship named _Enterprise!"_

[@AndrewChapman]

Awesome! Even though we see the TOS viewscreen at 1:12, I've often imagined how the Enterprise would've looked in I-III if she only had the interior redesigned, but kept the TOS exterior. I do love the refit configuration too of course and seeing TOS Enterprise destroyed would've been just as upsetting as the refit Enterprise destruction in III.

[@jnichols3]

The movie refit Enterprise was nice, but for continueity reasons I wish they had stayed closer to Phase II Enterprise. I could never make myself believe that a was looking at a refitted TOS Enterprise. With the ease of creating CGI now, I hope someone will remaster the ST:TMP, TWOK, and SFS with a Phase II ship.

[@2bituser569]

Joseph Nichols In reality the only way refit Enterprise can be tos ship is to say the 1701 is the dedication plaque transferred to a new ship.

[@Leoluvesadmira]

@@2bituser569 not really if need a real world of a ship exterior changing radically look at the USS Midway and USS Hornet both began their service with straight flight decks and both where modified to have angled flight decks where required more structure to be added to the ship so the movie refits could be added to the exterior of the ship and older outer hull could make up parts of the bulkheads.

[@nmatos2005]

Yes, I always wanted to see that also, the 1966-69 Enterprise in this movie's Space Dock scenes.

[@CHASEMARC]

what should have happened was the TOS ship as is should have stayed the same for the 3 movies (update the model so it would look better for the big screen but make it 90% the same look) - it then gets destroyed over Genesis. Then in ST4 the New 1701-A is an ENTERPRISE CLASS ship not a refit (so not only is the ship named after the OG ship but the whole Class is named as well) then create a whole new class for Enterprise-B not use the Excelsior Class the Enterprise's should always be a class unique to any other class ship we see in the movie or shows, so if the Enterprise-B is next to the Excelsior we can tell right away that's the Enterprise.

This Enterprise, for the original series, was actually a well thought out design by Rodenberry and his co-creators. There were many versions and changes before it was finalized. They actually cared about the ship having a reasonably functional design and look. That's why it had the grey, drab look of an aircraft carrier. But after Star Wars, Paramount knew that for the new TV series and consequent movies, they had to have cool-o, neat-o, ships with lot's of useless glam.

[@jediknight73]

I love it too but design is not good. Thin engine pylons and saucer neck. And to mention that bridge should have a giant bullseye on it

[@Gaelic-Spirit]

@@jediknight73 The point of having a very visible bridge is to give the ship a sense of scale, and it certainly does it's job well. The USS Enterprise was designed to be beautiful and only somewhat practical.

[@noscwoh1]

​@@jediknight73Thin=harder to hit. Realistically space battles would be fought at many thousands of km distance. You want the minimal aspect presented to an opponent. Facing off against an enemy vessel and pitching up 10° puts the bridge behind the radius of the saucer, which is mostly empty crew quarters at Red alert. Very well thought out.

[@drewjohnson-85]

I think you’re being too harsh on the retrofit, the design is a good balance between practicality and beauty, you can with minimal mental effort come up with a realistic reason for most of the changes, the new angled nacelle? Necessary to accommodate an enlarged shuttle bay. The moving of the Torpedo launcher from the saucer section to the neck and an increase in both phaser power and the number of phaser banks? A different combat doctrine, the original design was meant for one on one capital ship scale dogfights, the retrofit is clearly been redesigned for area control. I can go on but I think you get the idea.

[@2crude2crudeofficialband3]

Actually the reason why it was flat grey instead of shiny is because the shine screwed up the green screen effects. Now that everything is CG instead of practical effects, they can put the shine on the hull without the issues.

[@stardude2006]

[@PokemonBoy-de4jd]

Are you referring to Discovery Enterprise. I assume they change the Enterprise in Discovery because they realized they made the technology too high compared to the original series creating plot holes with tos, tng, dsn, and voyager so they created a new one that looks about the same technology as Discovery so they can show that it’s a different Star Trek universe.

[@richardched6085]

@@PokemonBoy-de4jd you hit that on the mark perfectly. Discovery is indeed a new universe unrelated to the Original and Kelvin Timelines.

[@alanstatham6173]

Very enjoyable. Particularly the variation of shots as Excelsior leaves spacedock and homes in more menacingly than in the original, with the additional engine rumble, feels more like a chase.

[@KnickKnacksPlasticPlanet]

I loved both classic Enterprises but I always thought it would have been more emotionally profound and made better sense if the classic TV Enterprise had been destroyed in SfS and the refit was unveiled as 1701-A in TVH.

[@lamelama22]

@MrHoppers002 to be fair the the movie Enterprise, it had taken extensive damage from Kahn's ship, and it was the lack of a crew & repairs as much as the BoP that finished her off

[@monkeybuttslap]

All things being equal and considering the abuse each version of the Enterprise went through, this was and still is the superior ship. B got it's butt whipped by the Nexus rubbing it's feet on the carpet. C got destroyed by Romulans. D got it's ass beat down by one bird of prey and four giant tits. Riker got E almost burnt to a crisp by a cloud of gas while Picard was busy boning a 300 year old GILF. This ...this ship survived a superhuman, the Great Barrier, TWICE. Romulans, Klingons, Tholians, a baby Q and the hand of a God. You know that old ass footage of that 1920s car being dropped off a cliff and then just being started and driving away? Thats this ship right here. BIG FUCKING NUTSACK CONSTITUTION CLASS BALLS! (edit) Let us also not forget that it withstood four attacks by Nomad of which one shot was equal to 90 photon torpedoes which means it withstood an attack of 360 photon torpedo equivalency.

If this version of the Enterprise was what was destroyed in III, I can only IMAGINE how many people would've lost their minds upon seeing her death. How many grown men who watched the show either while it was airing or in syndication would've walked out of the theaters seeing her final moments. For me, seeing the Refit explode was more than enough but I also absolutely love the Refit. Seeing the TOS Enterprise being destroyed.....oh boy.....

Trouble balancing a triphase warp field perhaps. Also don't forget Scotty was assigned there ibecause the Enterprise was due for decommissioning. He still would have needed to transfer somewhere, and sending the top engineer to the largest capital ship is sensible

[@HM2SGT]

Can't decide if I wish the battle damage was included or not... 🤔 Still, entertaining effort. My only actual complaint is the engine sound when Enterprise goes to warp. The sound you included is the moan of the engines and the hull when she's at high warp, straining to go just a little bit faster... 👌 Solid a, 91 and a half percent!

[@Morilore]

Oh man, this helps me understand what was missing from the launch sequences in the first three movies! I'm kind of disappointed whenever I rewatch them, because it doesn't feel visceral - as cool as the visuals and dialogue are, it doesn't feel *real*, it feels like I'm watching actors on a set. But in the last few seconds of this video, when you cut in the TOS warp engine rumble sound effect - THAT'S what it is, that low, gutteral, textural expression of effort and power, that really immerses. That sort of thing is what's missing from the Star Trek 1 and 2 drydock launch beauty shots.

[@cfrate]

That is an excellent model, I wish I had seen this years ago! It looks like you may have used a metal pinwheel in the nacelle domes, as opposed to a second inner dome with lines as many do - and even the Smithsonian does. It's an effect that seems very true to what we see in the show. I read a book about the builder of the Enterprise, Richard Datin, and his notes indicate he used metal in the original, so good call on your part if that's what you did!

[@76TomD]

Watch the actual movie and you will see the reverse issue. On the bridge when Chekov is telling Kirk there's an energy reading on 'C Deck' inside Spock's quarters, the bridge security monitors are using the TOS Enterprise's schematic. Starting at approximately 13:30.

[@vengeance1701]

Now imagine if when the motion picture came out, they made the decision to state the Enterprise now was a new ship not a refit making no mention of what became of the original 1701. So by the time search for Spock rolled around what if they stole the original TV series enterprise not being able use the movie Enterprise stealing it from the fleet museum or maybe even better a Federation scrapyard just before it’s scuttled when Kirk went to the genesis planet. In pursuit by the Excelsior or even the other Enterprise itself. As gut wrenching as watching the Enterprise explode over Genesis and disintegrating in orbit was I think it would have been even more impactful if the Enterprise was in its original design. That would have fixed so many nerdy inconsistencies within the universe and would’ve just been everything to see on screen.
