Intel has a Star Trek movie tie-in page set up to promote the film and they’ve added a cool Flash-based look at the USS Kelvin, the ship commanded by Captain Christopher Pike. I have a feeling they’ll be adding a lot of cool stuff to the site as the weeks go by - probably shuttlecraft, other ships (maybe even the USS Enterprise itself).

I took a few screen grabs and enhanced them to make it easier to make out details - you can see them below.

yeha, the kelvin looks bad ass;-)
omg
click on the bridge, how awsome ist thats security officer:-D??
geeeekkkeggeeekedi
That thing looks like it’s been service for a long time (very cool detail!). Without going to the linked site, I’m guessing the engine is on the bottom, and it looks huge! The saucer looks a little thin (flat) compared to the Enterprise. Overall, I’d say it demonstrates design progression beautifully from the Kelvin’s era to the Enterprise’s era. (Critique finished.)
To quote Strangelove: “Bad ass!!” Suddenly I have doubts that the Enterprise will be the ’star’ of the movie!
just look at that alien
i just can imagine how much more alien lifeform we will see^^
finaliy star trek boldly goeas wher no man has gone befor^^
sry me english;-)
Pike does not command the Kelvin.
It looks like a Star Trek dildo.
That ship looks horrible…
I would have gone with a different nacelle structure…
Why is Pike in command of this ship?
Also, it looks upside down,,,
“(maybe even the USS Enterprise itself)”
Wait a sec…it has to go “maybe even the USS Enterprise HERself”…She’s a lady
It does look upside down.
hahahahahah… Star Trek dildo
Priceless

The Captain of The Kelvin Is Richard Robau, (Taran Fahir).
But dont worry vic,
You cant be expected to know EVERYTHING!
It’s a bad design period.
For those that never read any books, or educated themselves on ST Lore, Pike did indeed captain the Enterprise. But, unlike Kirk, it was not the only ship you ever saw him on. Also, for those that are commenting on the ship design, I recall a bit of trivia about the original show and ship design. The ‘original’ Enterprise from the first series, is actually upside down. The nacels were actually located on the bottom, but someone thought the design looked better on top, so they went with that. I like the idea that they are toying with various design concepts and echo the happy thoughts of a few commenters here that enjoy the notion that they are building different evolutionary concepts into this. Anything…absolutely anything…is better (in terms of ‘prequel’) than that horrible “Star Trek Enterprise” series. In that case…the “…Enterprise” was far more a vehicle for Scott Bakula’s career than it was for the progression of this beloved science fiction genre.
Oh…more ST trivia. This comes from a somewhat dubious source, but I used to know a guy that worked for Desilu Productions (back in the day). He told me that the same guy that wrote the theme song for “I Love Lucy” wrote the theme song for “Star Trek”. In fact, if you ’speed up’ the I Love Lucy theme song (or vice versa to the ST theme), you can actually hear that they are largely the same music. Dont’ know if you can play Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon to it like you can with The Wizard of Oz LOL…but I digress. Hope someone found this interesting.
Oh my gosh! You’re right… the Trek and I Love Lucy themes ARE incredibly similar, lol!
Vic
Lucy’s actually the only reason Star Trek exists in the first place.
She (Desilu Productions) was the only one that took the chance on it in the late 60’s. Nobody else wanted a crazy space alien show…
This is all from Gene’s words in a dvd interview I have…
I love Lucy!
To me, that ship looks horrible, almost like it had been in a firefight.
I think these ships look incredible. That thing looks viable, powerful and dangerous. Seems that we just might see Star Trek go from being a bit cartoonish to something far more believable…’might’ being the key word.
