Someone didn’t read the label that said to wash the ship in cold water only and shrank the fucker.

The difference is actually a bit more noticeable, as the Imperial II communications tower definitely had a different design from the Imperial I tractor beam array (on top of the bridge). The other differences between both are probably not even visible. Victory I and Victory II on the other hand, I’m not sure about the visual differences.

Doesn’t the victory 1 have the giant “wings” in an x shape in the side and the victory 2 doesn’t?

Both versions have the atmospheric maneuvering surfaces.

Can they really open up outside of fanart? In all official artworks I’ve seen they look pretty connected and rigid.

Wasn’t there something about a missing hallway inside the ship in one of the films?

The big difference in the models are the landing gears. In A New Hope there are only three. After that, there are five.

I don’t know about the missing hallway, but now I’m curious.

“Fixed” the Nemesis version to include Picard’s addition to the refit.

I never knew there was a difference. Is it just the nacelle placement and the little “hump” just aft of the saucer?

Docking bay also sticks out more in the back in the Nemesis version

That’s only because the nacelle pylons moved forward a little and got wider.

Moving mass towards the center to reduce rotational inertia and increase manoeuvrability! Little changes can bring great improvements in space battles.

It’s a fin on the top, for aerodynamics

I may not be a smart person, but aerodynamics… in space?

form drag is proportional to:

  • The denisty of the medium.
  • The velocity of the moving body (squared).

Interstellar space might be very undense, peaking at about 10^-15 kg/m^3…

However the enterprise E is very fast, with warp 9.9 being approx 20,000 c or 6 * 10^13 m/s, and that matters twice as much

This puts the overall cosmodymanic forces at Cd * 3.6 * 10^12 N/m^2 or approximately the same as experienced by a Sandworm going mach 30.

So sure why not, Einstein and Newton are dead so can’t complain, and I’m pretty sure I could beat up Bill Nye.

checkout out the treball channel on youtube; they did an entire one hour episode on the differences. tldr: they’re all extremely minor and there’s lots of them.
