it does look more advance but it really isn't, because now we have better of everything than in the pass, it seems to be more advance, but enterprise nx-01 does have shields and other things.

Starfleet fired all their ship designers between ENT and TOS. They hired new ones, unintentionally setting ship design back by 200 years.

No, I just made it up. It sounds better than "We don't use '60s FX anymore".

Yeah, but Kirk DID command the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701, didn't he?

Kirk DID command NCC-1701, and NCC-1701A, but the first enterprise (according to the continually changing timeline) was NX-01. But that still doesn't change the fact that NX-01's desing is "historically inaccurate".

No matter how hard the production designers on ENT tried they couldn't make Enterprise NX-01 look less advanced than Kirks Enterprise. The idea was when designing the new ship...it was too look closer to today's version of a spaceship. Since TOS was filmed in the mid 60's, Kirks Enterprise looks less advanced than the space shuttle Discovery! Once you get past that fact you can enjoy the show more and stop nitpicking!

i agree
i think that it is also because the enterprise uses more advansed ways of fixing things and not just hiting everything. lol

EXACTLY! It's all down to 21st century FX. While we use computer graphics 30-something years ago it was just a 30 inch model on a bit of fishing wire.
And i don't see why we don't see the same species of aliens as we do in TNG and so forth.
Apart from the famous ones like Vulcan and Klingon etc.
