10 Amazing Behind The Scenes Secrets Of Star Trek: Enterprise
1. The NX-01 Refit Design
If there's one thing to learn from this list, it's that missing out on Enterprise's fifth season was truly a tragedy.
One huge change we could've gotten was a beautiful refit of the NX-01 Enterprise, made by the brilliant fictional starship designer Doug Drexler. Drexler revealed the design on his blog, Drex Files. By simply adding another hull segment and extending the warp nacelle pylons below the saucer, Drexler was able to turn the NX-01 into a realistic template for the Original Series' Constitution-class. You can clearly see how Starfleet engineers could evolve from the flat NX-01 to a new, bulkier design that included more space. This design could then go on to inspire the creation of Constitution-class vessels in the 23rd century.
This simple change would've been the highlight of Star Trek: Enterprise's ability to show the progression of humanity, but alas, we will probably never get to see the refit in canon.
