Commemorating the launch of the newest ship to integrate the slipstream drive, she is starfleet's primary line of defense against the Typhon Pact. A more tactical based ship than the Vesta class, she is designed to be capable of intervening in any situation where firepower is required quickly. Designed to be sleek and effective, she is more than capable of handling multiple enemy targets simultaneously.
The first in her class, Captain Lauren Rivers has been assigned to command this vessel and will soon be joined by her sister ships, soon to be completed for the defense of the Federation.

BSG usually does that, though Star Wars and Star trek make the bridge nice and prominent. It looks nice I guess... Though Star Trek is more about the fun than the logic. Not that I don't have my own issues with the franchise, BTW.... Especially Enterprise. I so believe they mismanaged their plot.
What would have been good would have been seeing how the transition from our world to the Federation actually happened. So maybe the Enterprise starts out as an actual warship surveying for resources only, seeing the classic Star Trek powers in a similar state; encountering planets that still have countries, all leading up to some massive conflict that led to the shift we see in the later shows, maybe slowly seeing the Enterprise itself changing as the series goes on and she gets retrofitted with more peaceful functions to act as an ambassador rather than just being a combination of a battleship and an aircraft carrier. Would be nice to have the crew be mixed American / Indian / Chinese / Russian, have something like a ship's chapel and acknowledgement that religion is still a thing people do, that kind of thing. Not just boldly going where everyone else has already gone before like they did do.
I've been saying that for years. My thoughts if I'd been in charge of the show.
Redesigns the first season so that it is focused around six science ships and six military craft performing missions out in space. Ends the first season on a cliffhanger requiring both camps to work together explaining the scientific military hybrid that exists in the future. Gets rid of the emotional vulcans that for some reason do mind melds. Deletes the episode where Trip is pregnant and the alien ship looks like tin foil and Archer gives away holographic technology.
Redesigns the second season to deal more heavily with the Klingons, builds off of "Minefield" and "Dead Stop" to set up a badass Romulan Arc culminating in the Aenar storyline.
Tweaks the Xindi arc so that they don't try to blow up Earth when their weapon is not ready for a full season because all that does is antagonize a race they never met that MIGHT destroy them in the future based on nonverified information. Erases the episode "E2" which is really just a ripoff of DS9's "Children of Time" (seriously, watch them both and tell me it isn't the same script). Has the second NX Class ship be the Columbia. Sets up the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy by David Mack.
Erases the temporal cold war arc and makes all time travel FORBIDDEN on a prequel series.
Deletes the last episode because the plot is retarded and makes no sense. Sets up the Trip working for Section 31 arc instead. Rewrites the final episode of the Augments so it's cool and doesn't just fizzle out.

I think I'd personally keep the Klingons in the background for a while and maybe swap Phlox out for a Cardassian who joins the crew who's actually working for the predecessor to the Obsidian Order: not to sabotage them, just to find out what they're up to and feed them intel so they'll stick to doing things that benefit Cardassia. This is largely because I love Garak, admittedly, and because Phlox always struck me as another Neelix. Maybe start out with them meeting species like the Trill who they don't have much conflict with and building up some alien presence in the crew.
I think I'd have it so the Vulcans weren't effectively holding the human race's hand; they're explorers, but they don't know much about the military since they find it logical to avoid conflict or give their enemies what they want, so they find the military functions of the ship distasteful, even as they come to grudgingly admit the humans are getting things done in ways they'd never have thought of (say, by standing their ground against a Klingon warship and impressing the captain with their spirit when the Vulcans would have tried to run away and been destroyed as cowards).
Also, get rid of stupid nobody-service like the decon gel.

Maybe build up to the klingons then until season 4, though it could be a hell of a buildup if done right. I like your idea about the Doctor, and I think it would work better. Honestly Phlox and Neelix were too cheery for their own good and didn't really add a whole lot of drama, I think now that you said that I've had removed Phlox after one year when Archer realizes it's dangerous out there, and to be honest I think Scott Bakula wasn't very good at emoting. I might've considered another actor.
I'd agree with that too. The Vulcans were mishandled, and I think the storyline with the MACO's could've been better developed, especially with the military learning to work with the science arm of Starfleet.
I think the decon gel was like the warp speed limit. Seemed like a good idea but ended up getting in the way far more than it ever helped.

Yeah, Phlox I think I didn't like because there was too much of the "what you humans call forwards, my people call backwards!" kind of thing with him rather than trying to have him come from a particularly fleshed-out society, and they did too much of the Ferengi-style "look at how gross he is" stuff to take him seriously. You could have him working as an aid to the Cardassian medic, perhaps, someone who's very idealistic to play against the cynic. He might as well be human, though, since they never did much with Phlox's being an alien other than him being ker-azy.
It might be interesting if the Enterprise started out as a dedicated carrier with some primitive version of a replicator ("fabricator," perhaps) at its heart so it can manufacture spare parts and small craft to suit diverse situations; this is admittedly in part because it would allow you to have a simple controlling AI as a character with a little bug-thing avatar on the ship. You could set it up that the work on that would ultimately be the base for Soong's work on positronic brains, and it would mean you could blow up shuttles without having to keep going back to starbases, too.
I'd also be tempted to give the Federation Marine Corps guns rather than energy weapons, just to make confrontations more tense since you don't have the luxury of a stun setting.
I'd love to see episodes setting the groundwork for things like the main Federation shipyards and Starfleet Academy rather than things like the Prime Directive (which really is a product of Gene's time, the problem with the early explorers is they did not have good intentions), I'd largely leave that out.
IIRC the decon gel thing was supposed to give the show sex appeal because that worked with Seven of Nine. I'm not really sure who's fetish Sam Becket rubbing jelly on people is, but I'm not entirely sure catering to it is socially responsible

Yeah, I don't think they really worked on his character very well. I mean, the news described the initial character brief as "He'll turn any visit to sickbay into an adventure!" Yeah, no. I don't think so. They just never really used his potential. He was too kooky to be taken seriously, and I probably liked him the least out of 5 doctors.
Since Enterprise only has two shuttles, that might make sense, and I'd agree with you that the MACO's should've had guns. Heck, the phase pistols were prototypes, so it probably would've been more realistic. Given that it was Earth's first ship.
I'd love to see an episode setting up Berlinghoff Rasmussen's departure to the future. We know he's from the 22nd century... It'd be cool to see him leave to meet Picard and company in the future.
For me, I was a little insulted they described Seven of Nine as a borg babe. I think an assimilated starfleet officer would've provided more story options than a child. Honestly, I found it a blatant BS move considering she's the only borg EVER with boobs other than the queen.
Anyway.... the decon gel never should've been a thing. :P

One neat idea I had while thinking about this last night would be that since they're such new technology, the warp drive and impulse engines are so large that it's not practical to mount both sets of engines on the same ship, so you have Enterprise and a second skeletal ship called something like Endeavor which carries the warp core, nacelles and things like long-range sensors, a big computer suite for calculating warp jumps that's separate from the targeting system, and communications equipment, and locks on to the back of Enterprise for warp travel; the rest of the time it only has thrusters and they can leave it in orbit to study things. Since that's the section with the most new tech in it, most of the staff are civilian scientists rather than military, maybe even a few families in that part if you can find child actors who aren't annoying. I'd think a guy like Bakula could work as the designer of the current warp core since he's best when he's playing a nice guy in over his head.

I hope you'll make the right choice but remember always follow the Prime Directive! Its important that we are to seek out new life not to destroy it, even for war this shipyard can have a Militarized Starships for combat and defences operations.
This is Commander Kevin Sean Morrow - Commanding Officer

Well its okay to want the latest and newest tech in your ship.
I mean, the captain of the Titan made some improvements, modifications and add-ons to the ship herself including a second main reactor, new weapons, new engines, new shields, and so on, she nearly changed everything on the ship. XD
But thats one of the benefits of the Titan. Her modular construction allows quick modifications and improvements.
I think i really start on a description pic for the Titan now. XD
