Popular Mechanics has a cutaway drawing of the ships from the new movie Star Trek Beyond. In addition to the Enterprise, it will feature two other vessels: tiny swarm ships flown by the enemy Krall and the USS Franklin, an early prototype ship that was the first to reach Warp 4.

This is what I hate, starting with the Star Trek NG movies (okay I know that NCC1701 was different in Star Trek The Motion Picture than in TOS but after that she remained fairly constant, especially externally) there's a new iteration of the Enterprise in every movie. In TOS the Enterprise was just as much a character as Kirk or Spock or McCoy. But now they change it for every movie for the toy and model manufacturers. I saw the first re-boot, watched a few minutes of the rip off of Wrath of Khan that they called "Into Darkness" on TV but I won't be wasting any more time on these movies. |

Why does Franklin have a motorcycle and Enterprise not? |

That is very cool! But why is there a motorcycle on the deck of the Franklin…? |

"Why does Franklin have a motorcycle and Enterprise not?" Because Kirk destroyed the motorcycle on the Enterprise already. |

From the diagram it looks like the Abrams Enterprise is about twice the size of the original. Bummer, bigger is not always better. |

I think that the Abrams Enterprise is supposed to be 50% larger than TOS Enterprise. |

The Klingons are even making fun of it: "Look! It's that silly garbage scow again, filled with (ego)!" |

The Franklin design owes a LOT to the Loknar-class frigate from the FASA Star Trek RPG. -Will |

I don't know… it's hard to recognize the Abramsprise without all the lens flare. |
finishes his initial Rust Devils force.
