Post Which Enterprise

While watching the preview that shows the Enterprise under construction they show bottom of the saucer section where the orginal television Enterprise fired the photon torpedos from.This section was looking like the bottom of the refitted Enterprise from the movies .how could this be if this was the original Enterprise ?

It's gonna be pretty much the refit that we've seen in the movies with TOS cast. The time travel elements will "retcon" out the TOS version of the Enterprise.

If you look closer, the warp nacelles are round, and I think the radar dish will be there as well rather than the blue thing on the re-fit version. It will be like a cross breed between the two

You guys should look back several pages in the threads, you'll see were people here actually did some projected computer graphics on this.

is suspect ull find the torp launchers at the base of neck, like the refit connie, tbh i think it looked much better there anyway.

a better location of phaser banks across the hull like tng phasers would look so cool, and dont try that cannon stuff on me, in sci-fi the whole point to scifi is to break the rules.

They are tinkering with the design of the ship a little bit.
Later on we'll judge for ourselves if these are actually improvements, or not.

Uh, no, the whole point of being a juvenile delinquent, a car thief or a U.S. Congressman is to break the rules; the whole point of science fiction is to find really entertaining answers to the question, "What if...?" If the question, "What if...?" is aimed at the ship we've already seen rather than where that ship is going, you've got some pretty damn lackluster people asking that question.
