It's hard to see past my disappointment that this isn't the Enterprise F. I like the idea of Trek constantly redefining modern with sleek new designs.

This almost looks like something designed in the 70's...hmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
I voted "Ugly and/or inappropriate, but not a total deal-breaker". Because I think it is ugly as hell. Not the basic shapes and configuration, but basically all the detail work is inappropriate for high-quality television.

Still, it's not a deal-breaker for me, I will watch the show regardless and decide if I like it as a whole. The ship might easily be re-designed untill then (or at least heavily improved), and even if it isn't, I will be sad, but still watching it if I'm happy with the rest of the show.
 
Yet, some folks may find it so. I agree, most people will look at an A-10 and see nothing sexy about it. I am one of those who finds it lovely because it looked like a WWII warbird. I may be an oddball, but I always found the A-10 a sexy beast , where as something like an F-15, I found sleek, yet souless and not really "sexy"
I had to look these up to see what's you guys are talking about.
That A-10 is crazy! Looks like a prop plane with a couple of jet engines strapped on. Has a chunky late 70s look I like, similar to the various SW fighters, or the fighters from Buck Rogers and BSG.
The F-15 -- with its odd proportions, I definitely get a vibe of function over form, which is okay. Does not strike me as an overtly sexy design TBH.

Yeah, I always liked the A-10. Many folks say its ugly, but I never viewed it as ugly myself. I take this ship the same way. Now we know its a pre TOS ship, my only hope is they do not like it look like 1960's puked inside the poor thing.
