I saw this Kzinti design on the web several months ago in the form of a top/side/front elevation, but it was not explicitly connected to Star Trek: Enterprise where I saw it.
Looking at the design, it appears that it must have been inspired by the SFU Kzinti designs and NOT by the animated series.
It looks a LOT closer to the SFU Kzinti (brick red color, 3 warp engines, pair of weapons "arms", etc) than the animated series. In the animated series I remember a very ugly, pink flying saucer with two spheres attached.
If Star Trek: Enterprise started season 1 with storylines like season 4 and the proposed season 5, it probably would have not been cancelled so early.
I lost interest in the show in season 1 when they encountered the Klingons in hand-to-hand combat on a planet and no one died. That exceeded my willful suspension of disbelief threshold.

Looks like a Kzinti ship with the bow blown off.
Enterprise started off poor, became awful, then Manny Coto took over. The third season was watchable, the fourth had moments of greatness, and so the fifth was cancelled and the series finale was a revoltingly smug piece of self congratulation by Berman and Braga. Feh.
Perhaps one day we'll see the Kzinti in the Abrams' Trek universe. *That* would be interesting. _________________ We are Hydrans! NO ONE LIKES US! |

I couldn't agree more. That finale was just ridiculous. At least the novels set after that try and undo most of the awful plot points that it made. But, you only have so much to work with.
I don't know about Berman so much, but I know Braga was a terrible thing for later Star Trek (after First Contact). _________________ O.G. OPTIMUS

Is Paramount a publicly traded company? Perhaps SFU fans could start quietly accumulating stock... gain control... put Leanna in charge of the board... and get Steve in charge of Trek! Petrick would get the job of vetting all scripts for plot holes. Jean loves consistency so she could be in charge of continuity. Mike Sparks would handle the props warehouse. Adam Turner handles CGI special effects. Loren Knight designing phasers, tanks and other weapon props, which would be constructed by Tony Thomas, Will McCammon, and other guys who are currently sculpting minis. Scripts provided by the guys currently writing SFB and Prime Directive fiction. It's all falling into place!! _________________ "Captain" Terry O'Carroll, fourteen papers published including six best of issue

It was NOT ugly. That ship was freakin awsome!

I'd love to see SVC do Trek. Star Fleet is supposed to be the military arm of the Federation, but we hardly see any of that. What about ground forces? In DS9, when the Dominion were rumored to be invading Earth, we only saw what appeared to be Star Fleet security.
And who in their right mind would use their bridge crew for every away team? There were hundreds of scientists, security personnel, etc. on the Enterprise D for example, yet they were never sent on missions. |

Maybe they read the mission logs from Kirk's Enterprise and noticed that THEY were going to be the ones dying, and then opted out. _________________ O.G. OPTIMUS

The bridge crew was the senior guys and they pulled rank and went on the away team missions because that was their best chance to get some ... action, yeah, action ... that's it. _________________ The Guy Who Designed Fed Commander

Believe the Klingons had the right attitude --
Captain leaves the ship, gung ho officer took control and left the captain behind --
Kinda puts the kabash on senior officers doing away missions -- |
