    2009 ST Enterprise in FASA

    Don't know if anyone has done this yet. Assuming the data I have seen is accurate:

    Length: 762 m
    Beam: 335 m
    Height: 190 m

    What Class would the Enterprise be in FASA? and has anyone built a version of the new movie's ship for the FASA game?

    It's off the scale, actually. You can estimate that it's either class XVI or XVII, depending on how you want to look at it (from official numbers). It's actually a bit larger than the Galaxy class. (The numbers are in high conflict, as many people behind the scenes have quoted very different figures.)

    This will mean you will have to reinvent everything on the ship, since it has the same number of hard-points, oddly enough.

    The length of the ship is IMHO wrong. The ship was designed to be 366 metres, but the FX department decided to rescale it in order to justify the shuttlebay scene.

    I statted it up over at the sub-odeon.net forums:

    ...Plus I gave it pulse-firing Phasers, just like what the movie showed.

    Unfortunately Owen, the skin is the only thing that supports the 366m length. The official call has been the (absurd) 762m, and unless they change thier minds again in the next film we're stuck with it.

    PS: It's also longer than the Sovereign Class starship... Only way to justify the 1100 crew I guess.

    Wrong. In the construction sequence, figures can be seen walking throughout the ha-built ship. Also the bridge has a transparent window which corresponds to one in the bridge set, which can clearly be seen. Further, compare to the pod Spock ejects Kirk in. All point to the smaller size. Bernd Schneider has done an exhaustive study at http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/ar...se_comment.htm

    You mean the docking port he ejects an escape pod from? Pointing out that the people who made the film are clowns isn't a plus to this arguement.

    I'm not agruing against any of that, but the fact of the matter is they've said it's 762m long. What will you do if they DO fix the skin in the new film? Claim the ship magically doubled in size?

    Nobody needs to worry about it, they'll mess up the scaling again in some new crazy way for sure.

    Quite probably, yes they will. Which is why I will never play in the Adramsverse or the "future" that spawned it. I find the novels offer a better jumping off point for adventure.
