I like this effect, but my favorite effect is the line effect with the line behind the ship from the movies

yup, they look the best. I wish they used that in TNG

Hmm...not too keen on the "streaky stars" bit, but it's still TOS-y enough to get a fav.

Hehe
I like the streaky stars. It is the updated equivlent of the speedign stars seen in TOS. The main idea is that whle the local stars seem only as a blur, the great stellar plane is motionless in the background.

I noticed the different levels of streakiness that you used, which is a good touch.
We must remember though...TOS ships didn't go as fast as TNG-era ships during warp, and went pretty slow. They even had a different Warp Speed Scale..."Warp 12" in TOS is approximately equivalent to TNG's Warp 7, for example (just guessing here). But what I'm not guessing about is that TOS ships went slower in warp than TNG ships (that's a fact) and had a different Warp Scale, so the streaky effect probably wouldn't happen since they're not going fast enough for it to happen. Ya know??

Oh, I see. It's just that the NX-01 had the streaks and it could only do Warp 5 Cochrane scale...

The NX-01 wasn't around when TOS was created. Not to mention that ENT was envisioned as a "non-canon" Star Trek show by Brannon Braga, that only became canon later on when it started to tank, and Paramount slapped it onto the regular canon in a vain attempt to get more people to watch it.
I'm not getting into another "OMFG ENT IS NOT CANON" argument, but I'm just mildly suggesting that things seen in ENT shouldn't be religiously followed as total, complete, rock-solid canon. Remember that they bent a HELL of a lot of rules in that show, so there's no reason to stick with theirs...

like the "only some Vulcans can mind meld" rule of ENT.
STUPID!

Totally!!
Gah...that show was dumb. I mean, it was entertaining, but it sure as hell wasn't pure Star Trek, AND IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE WHEN IT WAS CREATED!!!! That's why "Star Trek" wasn't even in the title originally; it was just titled "Enterprise." How much clearer can I make that to people, you know??

I do like the Klingon Bone Ridge explanation they had, with the disease, it cleared some stuff up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but it was a problem they never would have had to deal with, if the Klingon in the corn field had a smooth forehead like canon would dictate...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but the problem still existed, because no information on why the klingons suddenly grew bone ridges on their foreheads existed before that, so either way, if they did or didn't, even if enterprise didn't happen, somebody has to explain why they just appeared...

Yes, but the problem was less serious. Originally it was just how they went from A to B, but ENT forced it into a "how they went from B to A to B again," basically.
I personally think that the Klingons had done a species-wide genetic restructuring of themselves, in order to make themselves stronger and less of the "underdogs," since in TOS they were a poor race with very few resources. Possibly the genetic restructuring came about by inputing samples of DNA from another species they encountered (and admired traits of). To me, that would explain their change in behavior and appearance (civilized to more barbaric), not to mention how TOS Klingons like Kang, Kor, and Koloth also changed by the time DS9 rolled around (if you want to consider DS9 canon, too, that is).

I don't follow the Roddenberry canon seriously. I always follow fanon, my own fanon. In my world of Trek, Uhura's given name is Nyota, the christening of the 1701 was visited by the old Jonathan Archer, a ship can have an odd number of nacelles, Bones has a daughter, Romulans are called Rihannsu, the Borg has its origins in V'Ger, etc. I regard most of the Trek novels as canon, my own personal canon.
