Is it 1701-A on the hull?
*Potential Spoilers* What will the Alternate Enterprise-A look like

Yes.
Was never a huge fan of the JJprise - nacelles & support pylons didn't do it for me, so I was kinda' on team swarm as they went to work on them. What I could make out of the 1701-A is more to my liking.
The JJprise is dead! Long live the Justinprise!

I'll have to see the movie again and pay even closer attention to the E-A. From what I saw I wasn't crazy about it. Looked almost cartoonish, like a ship out of Star Trek Online. And then the silly barrel roll it does after shooting into warp could have been done without.
The difference I saw was admittedly subtle, but the nacelles look to have been dialled back towards something a little more TOSish and all the connecting struts/pylons seem beefier.
Do need a better look though - screencaps can't come soon enough.
I'm disappointed that they're using the alphabet system again in the Kelvinverse

The new one looked similar to the original Ryan Church concept.
Since there are no pictures I will try to describe it with the aid of concept art.
It basically looks like a combination of the following three things:
Ryan Church's original concept for the new Enterprise.
The remastered Enterprise concept from a few years back.
Also looked a little bit curvy, but nowhere near as much as this thing.
Overall I like it - sure, I've seen better concepts, but it's more than adequate, and also, I'm guessing it's meant to just be a radical refit, like the Constitution II, rather than a whole new class, but I might be wrong. We can wait for the new TV series to see something truly different. I also think it was closer in layout to the TOS ship, which I liked.

When Commodore Paris says that there was a new ship at Yorktown being built, I had a feeling that would end up named Enterprise, and she mentions it has more advanced systems.
I'm going again to see it tonight (saw it last night in IMAX 3D!) but from last night's viewing, she's got a variation on the one from the previous two movies, but looked to have some of the TOS/TMP Refit characteristics to her. I liked it!
I LOVED the construction montage so much (how long were the crew waiting around Yorktown at the end?) But my first thought upon seeing the 1701-A was "ugly"
Now I know how everyone else felt in 2009.

I thought it looked more like the classic Enterprise, especially the saucer and the deflector dish. But it was all so fast ... I could be wrong.
Depending on who directs the next one, it may end up looking different, anyway! Very curious what the new bridge will look like (and how big she is!!) I was surprised Lin changed the Enterprise just to trash it in 20 minutes.

Have they gone for a darker tone for the outside?I LOVED the construction montage so much (how long were the crew waiting around Yorktown at the end?) But my first thought upon seeing the 1701-A was "ugly"

Also has there been a nacelle reduction, it would fit with a more advanced and effecient propulsion system based on the Vengeance.
Not sure about the hull colour, it seemed darker but that could have just been the indoor Yorktown drydock lighting.
The nacelles were smaller, cylindrical and had red nacelle caps. The nacelles were further apart. Very TOS. The proportions were closer to the classic movie version, after seeing the modern one for so long the engineering hull looked really awkward and bulky.

I have no problem with the nacelles being made a bit smaller, they were very much Double D's weren't they.
Overall size has stayed the same though I assume?
I've no idea, we see it built virtually from scratch in an awesome time-lapse but it's all so quick the size could be 700m+ or 300 or anything. I couldn't even spot if she had a bridge window.
I agree... but I remember the caps as blue! I was wondering on the way home why they didn't make them red. I thought they way the pylons connected to the nacelles was kind of weird.
Ready to build a model.
