Poll Rate the USS Discovery's looks

[{ Emilia }]

So while human beings shouldn't be objectified and rated based solely on their looks, feel free to objectify the hell out of this ship.
You will be able to change your vote as better images of the ship become available.

I voted “B (Nice!)”, because I come to really like the design. It's bulky, angular and has some retro elements to it, which for me make up much of its charm. I wasn't a fan at first, especially with those nacelles they gave her originally. Upon first seeing it I thought it lacked grace and elegance, which is still true, but I guess her looks are an acquired taste. It wasn't a love at first sight, but I think I'll end up seeing it as one the boldest designs in Trek and hence one of my favorites. Looking forward to seeing Discovery in action.

For those wanting to take a closer look, here's concept art of the approved design of the ship:

 

[KennyB]

It is growing on me......was NOT a fan to start with even though I knew what it was based off of. Definitely better than the way it looked in that first trailer from last year.

 

[tenmei]

Hawt, prefer the non gap version and freaking LURVE the Shenzhou though.

 

[Ridcully]

Well I think it looks very Star Trek'ish!
Interesting looks, I love spaceships alot, but I also like when they do stuff alittle different.
It is not ugly like Voyager, the flying iron!

And somehow I actually thinks it looks older than the Enterprise.

 

[Longinus]

I really hated the original design and I have to admit that it has improved considerably. I'm still not sold on it though and I really dislike how the bottom of the secondary hull looks. However, the ship looks much better in the pictures from aboveish. So grudging C, I guess (we are talking about really drunk here, though.)

 

[Kaelef]

It's growing on me, too. My biggest problem with it now is that, other than the basic layout, it doesn't fit in with the designs of the ships that came before or after it. Its flatness and sharp angles aren't Starfleet as we've known it.

 

[Ridcully]

Dunno...I can see something is the sweeping wing that will be used on the refitted Enterprise, the round saucer.
Alittle of the coming medical ships....like the one Dr Crusher had in the future!
And so on!

 

[BillJ]

If I was another starship, I would definitely invite Discovery over for wine, cheese and "socializing".

 

[Mage]

Voted HAWT!!!! The only thing that kinda bugs me every now and then, is the uniforms. But mostyl, this show looks like it's lit!!

 

[Ridcully]

Love dem uniforms!
First trek uniform that I actually like, the rest looks like sleeping clothes

This thread is only about the ship's looks, though.

 

[Ridcully]

But....haha love the golden colour of the ship!

 

[Starfury]

I think she looks ugly, but look isn't the important thing about a starship. She needs to have... character. She needs to stand for something, to represent something... something good. A ship that allows our characters to make a difference (for the better), a Ship that allows them (and us) to see the wonders of the universe. If the writers do something like that and let the characters build a connection to the ship, the viewers will build a connection to her as well, no matter how she looks.

 

[Spider]

Just counting windows AND assuming those windows stand for a floor on a deck for each row, the delta portion of the ship looks about 6 to 8 stories tall at it's deepest part with that center part on the bottom. And very long. It would seem this could could literally hold thousands of people, or store large amounts of cargo or something. Which would also make the saucer section frigging enormous.

Hotel in space? Troop carrier? Cargo ship? Or, the windows are just window dressing and don't give a proper image of the size.

I don't particularly care for either the delta wing or the missing sections in the saucer, but I haven't seen it in the show in action yet. It's just to early for me to make judgements.

Where did you find those?!?!?! Makes me love this ship even more!!!

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

The Discovery's nacelles are too long for my liking, but otherwise it looks okay. I give it a Meh.

Don't much care for the interior, though. Too damn blue.

 

[Tesophius]

B - Nice

I like the ship design, although I wish it was less aerodynamic

 

[fireproof78]

I voted "Nice" and I think it will look better in action. Would not have been my first choice, but that's why I'm not in charge

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I actually liked the Discovery better in the first teaser trailer.
