Phase II Launch

- I was looking over the original Matt Jefferies Phase II Enterprise designs and decided to make this video. (Yes, the Bussard Collectors were Blue), I added a few details of my own, because it’s me. I hope you like it!

Such a shame this version never saw the light of day, because it is truly beautiful.
That look on Kirk's face when Scotty swings around to the front of the Enterprise and the music crecendo.. wow
She looks beautiful.
Well done, well done indeed.
Seeing "Big E" leave Spacedock never grows old.
Agreed!
I think why this scene was of such utmost importance in both this and the motion picture was that it put clearly in focus the immense size of the constitution class star ship! It is beyond beautiful! And this had never been done in the TV series!
I love the combination of original and refit characteristics on the Phase II Enterprise.
Loved it! Best Phase II Enterprise I've ever seen! The "aztec-ing", detailing of the deflector, and the swirling-energy effects in the Bussard collectors really MADE this render!
@spaceace1006Ooff, I loved that detail!
Now this is what the movie Enterprise should have looked like. Makes more sense. BEAUTIFUL!!!
This is real and Pure Star Trek!!! I could watch videos like this all day 😊.
OUTSTANDING definition and graphics!
GREAT JOB!!
I grew up on the original Star trek that still got my ❤ beating fast More please
Every Sunday morning
It looks like a mix of the original and the retrofitted Enterprise.
I love this design! Great work!
As retired captain Montgomery Scott would say: "Here's to ya lads!"
I’ve always felt that the Phase II refit is the bridge between the TOS and TMP constitution class. It’s a shame that it never had an official onscreen appearance.
One of the novels had the bridge of the enterprise blown up by K'Zinthy terrorists. It was later speculated that this event led to the refit of the enterprise as seen in TMP.
I like it; the lighting effects on the Bussard collectors are really pretty. Well done.
fabulous work, Sir!!
Way better than the JJPrise or Discoprise! Great Job Robzilla!
Very amazing work!
Absolutely superb. Great detail and care. Love it!
One day, some person will find this "historical document" and remember what their time in StarFleet was like. Man, I hope we get to see this come to fruition. We were born on this planet, but damned if we have to die on it. "2nd star to the right, and straight on 'till morning."
But they will always mourn over Gilligan’s Island. 😅
@@The_Crusader_Viking Those poor people.
Certainly Enterprise wasn't the first Connie to be refitted. The ships M-5 heavily damaged (TOS: The Ultimate Computer) would have needed extensive repair, and if the USS Exeter (TOS: Omega Glory) could be decontaminated she would probably have been refit as well. I could see these being an earlier version of the new warp engines, perhaps from a different shipyard. In fact I recall something mentioned, perhaps in a novelization, about a Vulcan shipyard that supplies warp engines as well.
Robert,
Thank you for this. Gene Roddenberry was on college lecture circuit, during this period (when I met him).
Gene received a call, that week, from Paramount deciding to switch from a TV series to a film, based on Star Wars & ET box office sales.
Fantastic job!!
Excellent designs, fully captured the Enterprise designs with solid variations.
Now there is a channel I haven't seen anything out of for a while . Good to see you are still around .
Excellent work!
Well done sir! Well done!
This USS Enterprise 1701 design is fantastic and should have been in "Star Trek the motion picture" as a new starship refit. Its a awesome design and still has the looks of the original ship series but upgraded!!! Excellent Guys!!!!
Awesome! I still prefer red bussard collectors. I believe they were only blue for the TMP promos and posters because they didn't have time to reshoot the new model.
Ich bekomme Tränen in die Augen, wenn ich dieses phantastische Video sehe, das ist ja detaillierter und viel schöner als im Kino Film Star-Trek.
Much as I TOTALLY ❤️❤️😍❤️❤️ These many video's on the construction, or refitting of the original Enterprise and NCC 1701-A, I would also love to see a start to finish construction of what has to be one of Starfleet's largest construction projects, that being good old Starbase 001 herself; her space docking bay so large as to be able to dock tens of starships with consummate ease. Keep up the great work there. 🤩👍👍
That was really amazing, I love your version of the ship. Made me want to start watching the whole movie with this version!
Very nice! I love the effect you made on the engine nacelle caps. Very cool!
Amazing work!
Excellent Details of the Phase 2!!! Nicely Done, Sir!!!!
Very awesome video.
Very nice work. I enjoyed that very much. Thank you.
Very ambitious!! Great composition--
I like the blue bassards. Another great beauty of time as it passes by. Thank you for sharing your art with your fans Robzilla 🖖
Beautiful Phase II concept.
Love it! Really wish we could have seen one of these 'remastered' into the Star Trek Movies!
The in between of the TOS and TMP Connie. Nice job and I like the alteration of the station layout AKA Office Complex.
Thank you my Friend!
Nicely done!
I really enjoy this video.
Well done!!
“All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.” - John Masefield
Well how come you don't know "row, row, row your boat"?
You need to make either a series or a movie. This is fantastic!!!!
Thats gotta be the most beatiful Deflector Dish ive ever seen. XD
Very nice version of the Phase 2 refit.
As always, it's a top notch video. I'm a addict of all your videos
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done and executed in every format way shape and form and in every detail provided indeed Sir!,👌...
Great job Rob! :) she is a beauty
I'd also love to see this style of intro, but with the Enterprise NX-01 'Refit'... That ship is so cool looking.
Wow! Nicely done. I love the end with the UFP logo zoom out. Very cool.
I really want to learn how to do this.
Loved it 😍🤩🥰
Superb!
Much better, in my opinion, than the refit we saw in STTMP - which was really more of a complete rebuild, and hence probably not practical in the world of Trek. It wasn't just that the interior spaces were so different, the very dimensions of the basic ship changed. This was much better - new nacelles, weapons ports in the dorsal, shuttle attach points, etc.
I like the addition of the phaser emmiters around the shuttle bay and under the engineering section. Make me think Kirk told starfleet that original design didnt have enough fire power.
Nice joining of TOS, Phase II, and the refit. Very nicely done.
I have to agree with Stuart Young: this is the best Phase II ship I have seen. It corrects some of the flaws of the original P2 design (the pylons!) and makes an excellent mid-way point between the TOS Enterprise and the movie version. In fact, I'm more than half tempted to kitbash a version of it from TOS and TMP model kits. Very well done.
Thanks!!
What was wrong with the Pylons? Honest question
@rolandogamez , the Phase II pylons are very like the TMP pylons, except that they're cut off at the rear end, i.e., instead of running all the way to the underside of the engine nacelle, the trailing edge of the pylons stops short and has a large kink in it; after the kink/corner, it goes at right angles to the nacelle. This, to my engineer's eye, is horrible; the attachment to the nacelle is significantly shorter, which weakens the joint, and the corner is a massive stress concentrator. Now, you can argue that 23rd-century materials and structural integrity fields, etc., could prevent this from being a problem, but IMO, it's simply bad design. It doesn't even look good (unlike the movie or even the SNW pylons), so I have no idea why it was done that way. YMMV, but my professional opinion (aerospace engineer) is that it is not a good design.
@@tarkas566 Thanks! I see it now. I rather like that notch tho! Really love those lit up domes!
I'm surprised with technology these days, no one thought of doing a Star-Trek 'Phase-2' TV Series, (possibly with original actor's doing the voices, sadly some have passed away)
But with so many great voice actor's out there, this would be a series 'WORTH' making!
This would make a great intro.
Robzilla! Nice to see you back...nice job!!!
I love the enterprise
DID YOU KNOW?
This is the ship we ALMOST got in ST;TMP but luckily Gene Roddenberry changed it at the last minute to the ‘other’ Enterprise when he discovered that ‘phase II’ was being made into a movie!
Now THIS should have been in STTMP!
Great job 👏
The Enterprise under Captain Willard Decker, a few months before the major refit ,2270.
" Attention. Crew, This is Captain Willard Decker, prepare for departure from space dry dock for shake down cruise of USS Enterprise. We now have a new warp drive system on board. We will be testing this system for any bugs it might contain. Again prepare to get under way. Captain Willard Decker, out.," ( This is why Admiral Kirk kicked Decker out of the Captains chair on TMP. At this time Kirk had just became an Admiral, and Decker just inherited the Enterprise. Kirk just wanted to command the ship after its next big refit in 2271.) If phase 2 had been a real show, Willard Decker would have been the captain. a new Vulcan , Lt. Xon. Would have been science officer. And .Lt. Illiea would have been the new navigator. Instead they all shown up in TMP for their one and only time. Xon gets killed in the transporter accident with another crew person.
great video and the type of ship i need in my fan film. 🖖👍
Is simply beautiful.
It would be cool to have a comic series of the two years remaining on the original 5 year mission. It could show the Enterprise refitted to this design and work up to the events in Motion Picture.
Very nice! I prefer to think that a few Connies were incrementally refitted to these specs in the late 2260s to make way for the finalized TMP Refit for the Enterprise. USS Merrimac (NCC-1715) for example :)
I agree with you. I think the Phase II design makes for a logical intermediate step between TOS and TMP. I’m not sure of what the canonically correct time frame between TOS and TMP is, but it would make sense that Starfleet would have given the Enterprise a minor refit at the end of her historic 5 years under Kirk to prepare her for another mission of similar duration. They would have done the same after Pike’s run which explains the difference between the pilot versions and the series version. Perhaps the Phase II version is the version Decker commanded for some time before the ship was completely revamped into the version in TMP. I think the TMP version is so drastically different that it can only be explained as the next refit after the Phase II refit.
@@BarryWKay Very nice theory. According to Memory Alpha TMP takes place in 2273 roughly 2.5 years after the 5 year mission ended. Since the Refit began 1.5 years before the film it's likely that Decker got 6 months with the Enterprise before it began it's extensive Refit. The Phase II Refit would last a few weeks (Far less given that only a few modules are replaced).
Beautiful.
Simply incredible
I can never get my models to look this good with Blender
Your graphic detail is perfect accurate
Thank You
Beautifully staged and rendered. Well done!
Honestly, if this had been the enterprise for the first 3 movies, and THEN we got the refit design, it would have been an even more amazing experience.
Phenomenal job. Truly.
Lovely!
So excellent! Would have been so cool if this had been what Paramount went with!
Is great to see you posting again. Lovely video.
That was beautiful! Nice work!
Spectacular animation and perfect choice in music. It has a majestic sound and feel to it.
Great work.
Simply GORGEOUS STUNNING work, Robert! Just nicely done! I would love to see you do the exact same treatment to the original Enterprise with maybe a few glamour upgrades (love to see the rear engine bulbs glow white and maybe some modest exterior lighting). Oustanding!
Nice work as usual.
I appreciate that
Good thing they have running lights for flying at night, you don’t want to run into anything at warp 2
In a word... BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
BEAUTIFUL!
The Buzzard Collectors are really well done and I like the deflector disk!
I watch this just to breathe better ;) THANK YOU!!!!
What everyone gets wrong is the actual scale of everything. Think about what would be needed to have a Star Ship that acts as a war machine, a device to deliver colonists, ambassadorial missions, humanitarian missions, and so much more. Remember that they have to bring everything with them no matter where they go. That means maintenance shops, medical bays, science laboratories, sanitation, water reclamation, I could do down the list of what a real Star Ship would need to be workable.
Really nice work!
Better than anything Kurtzman's Trek , will ever do !!!!
You did a great job on this blender animation. Haven't heard from you in a while.
Thanks 😊
@@MrRmcconnell You're Welcome. Looking forward to the next video. Oh, how are you doing?
Staying sane in a state wide Shelter in place declaration?
@@ericmadsen9655 I'm lucky still working. I am working on my first video in eevee. have the ships built, now just storyboarding.
@@MrRmcconnell Stay safe, stay sane and keep those videos coming.
right?
I love this design and they should have used it in the new series ❤❤❤❤❤.
A little behind on my youtube watches but I have to say beautiful great work, thank you for sharing
gorgeous!
Beautiful! Although personally I've always preferred the red bussard collectors.
This should have been the design for TMP and 2 and 3 until it's destroyed and we get the refit A. I never liked that they used the refit, but kept the original registry.
You're absolutely right. I don't know why they never used it.
I do like blue Bussards, implying deuterium laced water inside per Jjprise
Or the blue glow seen from current day fission reactor cores, ie Cherenkov radiation
That is awesome!
