This is not about the details, it is about the basic shape. No amount of polishing will save this.
And that design was abandoned for a good reason.
That's a weird statement. All aspects of the design of a fictional spacecraft are by definition superficial. People are just reacting to the look of the thing. Some like it, others don't. Barely anyone is saying they won't watch the show because of that first rendering.
The greatest sin in the star trek universe, is being forced to ride in an ugly ship. Khan Noonien Singh had that indignity with the Miranda class.
There are literally HUNDREDS of concept ships that look better than that monstrosity, for the sake of all that is good just and holy in this world, spare us that hideous hulk.
If they wanted a science/discovery type cruiser, they should have gone with a modified reconnaissance class

Or something like this with the pod stripped off the top would look a thousand times better:

Does NO one working at CBS care about beauty in the world anymore ?!?!??!??!??!??
I'm still a fan of Star Trek, and other show/movies. But fandoms in general have been getting on my nerves more and more lately. Everybody's always whining and complaining and fighting amongst eachother. I'm part of a Alien/Predator forum, and I love Prometheus. You wouldn't believe how some people there treat fans of Prometheus. It's insane.
Not entitled. The trailer promised us new crew, new villains new ship. And they want us to subscribe to and look at a 40 year rejected ship that barely resembles Federstion aesthetics.
If the powers that be can approve this design for the hero ship which is also a character in its own right, then I dread to think what else they will do.
After watching the video again this morning, I LOVE the ship design. I mean, it looks awesome.
The ship was never used in Trek. It's new, as promised.
Ambassador class style warp nacelles (rather than the spinning turbine like bussard collectors of TOS or the TMP collectors).
As for the NCC-1031
No such thing as bussard collectors in TOS or TMP.
Even that piece of excrement, isn't this piece of excrement.Because I'm an arse

That Trek emblem... It being split has to mean something.
Nooo ... not another prequel! And that ship looks ugly as hell! I feel so disappointed ...![]()
Amen to that. I expected something cool or interesting. But not only is it a bad looking, the effects look like it was done by someone who just discovered 3D rendering software a month ago.
I mean... just look at this low-polygon horror:![]()
