That would give us 2470 feet, just so ya' know.

*** Attention *** Size of the new Enterprise is FINAL!!! *** This thread can now be closed ***

I have calculated the EXACT length in meters of the new Enterprise using the following method...

100's = 2d4, 10's = 1d10 ( purple ), 1's = 1d10 ( red )

[drum roll] 2d4 = 4 * 100 = 400, P 1d10 = 8 = 80, R 1d10 = 7...

There you have it!!! The new Enterprise is 487 meters long.

If YOU GUYS aren't satisfied with that number, then get your own D&D dice and give it a go.

Shoot. What are all the numbers again? Including the original Enterprise size and twice that because those were offered up too.

900
762
305(?)
297(?)
Then there was a 400 in there wasn't there? And something with a decimal that Bad Robot gave, I think. Did anyone write these down in one place (or have a better memory than I do)?

I know the third and fourth numbers are off.

Guh. I gotta get to bed, though. I'll search through the thread tomorrow unless someone else does it first. We're adding and averaging.

Hey, I think I have a d1000 around here somewhere . . .

Wouldn't work that way. You have to use smaller die to create a range. I chose 2d4 ( two 4-sided dice ) to get a range from 2 to 8.

I have a d100 but it is so rounded that it takes FOREVER to stop on a number. I just use two different-colored 10-sided dice to generate 1 to 100. I have a HUGE felt bag full of dice. They look like the gems you are always questing for in D&D when they are all in their blue felt bag.

Ayan... I think that BadRobot number was 725.35 meters.

The 470 meter number came from a couple of people that added their 2 cents to this thread. That number was based on reasonable scale comparison of external ports and windows between TMP and NuEnt. The only thing that throws a wrench into that figure is the shuttle bay. The 470 meter number seems right -- not too big -- not too small -- and the exteriors seem to match up pretty well with that number.

I honestly feel that the shuttle bay doesn't match up with the rest of the ship because this was a real-world set and needed to be a certain size for people and props ( like plywood shuttles ). Same with the "engineering" interior, which was a brewery / factory location.

It IS weird that I took out my D&D dice and rolled a number close to it. I tried it again and rolled a 596.

its 295 m long

Not logical.

We're talking about a society that can warp space and generate artificial gravity (and even antigravity, as observed before). Starfleet shuttles have no proper aerodynamic properties, yet fly just fine. Canon-wise, we've seen Intrepid class land and take off from planet just fine. If you remember TNG: Parallels, there's a shot of Utopia Planitia ground facilities which house a partially constructed Galaxy class vessel:

So, we already have TNG proof that things can be constructed on ground. The biggest stretch is thus having Enterprise built at Riverside instead of San Francisco shipyard. According to Orci, the construction yard was there to honor George Kirk, but I don't think it would be much of a stretch to call Riverside shipyard the ground facilities, with San Francisco dock in orbit for finishing touches and refits, i.e. a similar layout to Utopia Planitia in 2370.

The figure I offered as an average (2,470 feet) was based on the 4 sourced numbers we've been given in feet: 2,000, 2,379.75, 2,500, & 3,000. Converting to meters, it would be approx. 753m. It's not my number, just an average of the numbers we've been given with ILM & Bad Robot sources. Again, just so ya' know.

I'll figure something out with my bucket of d10s. :P

[Thascales]

Oh guys! I just found a new interview with ILM. Apparently, and this is now final, the ship is 2500+587j feet long.
