*Potential Spoilers* What will the Alternate Enterprise-A look like

Based on the windows, it looks like the A is even bigger than the previous one.

Speakng of windows. I loved the shot where you could see inside with people running down the corridors before the ship was lost.

Now that we have seen the new exterior, what do you think the interior will look like.
It's very likely we get a completely bew bridge next time. :)
Maybe more in red and black this time? :D
 
First impressions: Some people will be very happy. The nacelles are further apart and they are rounder and thinner. The saucer edges are more beveled and therefore sleeker.

It also seemed like the hull was darker grey, and the engineering hull was bulkier and had more surface detail akin to the TMP refit. I would also say they kept the shots just quick enough that they can fine tune its appearance before Reboot#4 without too much quibble.
 
They moved the engineering hull back a bit,
beefed up the nacelle pylons and straightened them.
some minor tweaks to the nacelles i think. The beefier pylons make them look smaller, but I don't think they actually are.
The neck seems to flow better on the leading edge from the saucer to the engineering hull. It has a graceful curve to it now.

Much better in my opinion.

Like the JJPrise, we'll probably never get orthographic views or blueprints of the 1701-A. Every Star Trek until now have given us blueprints. It seems like the people in charge of Star Trek now don't understand how important the ships themselves are, as well as the characters.
 
So in profile, something like this, is it (apologies for the bad drawing):

I think I'd like it more if the pylons weren't so wide and thick where they connect to the secondary hull.

And dammit, i really wanted red nacelle caps...

I can think of people cough TOBIAS RICHTER cough who could help out here ;)

BTW Bussard collector foreskins gone :techman: Tail light strip replaced by impulse engines again :hugegrin:

Somebody on the design team is finally getting it :beer:
 
I freaking love the design of the Enterprise-A. This is what the Kelvin Timeline Enterprise should have looked like from the beginning. I can't wait to see the interior!
