10 Star Trek Events OTOY & The Roddenberry Archive Should Explore Next

2. The NX-01 Has Her Refit

Star Trek: Picard managed to confirm what had previously been teased: Enterprise NX-01 did in fact receive a refit, an additional secondary hull, and continued to serve for several years after Demons and Terra Prime. 

First spotted as a model on a young Jean-Luc's table, the updated design by Doug Drexler managed to bring the militaristic, submarine style of the NX-01 a little closer to smooth style of Matt Jefferies' 1701. However, the best we've managed to see is background glimpses and out of scale models - it's time that the ship got her due.

While season five of Star Trek: Enterprise remains a dream, the refit (in full relief) need not do so. Imagine a re-launch of the ship, The Motion Picture-style, sliding out of Spacedock. We've given plenty of examples of our frankly disturbing attraction to those kinds of scenes, so we're not going to pretend this isn't pure wish fulfilment here. 

Dear OTOY and The Roddenberry Archive, please deliver on ship porn for us, sincerely: The TrekCulture Team (specifically Seán!)
