I agree with the Trekyard guys that it is a nice looking ship but the length of the warp naccels looks odd.

I just can't sit through 18 min videos of them adding nothing.....

I gave up on trekyards some time back

Looks like a Vulcan designed the ship.

 

[The Lensman]

Don't care for the overly long nacelles, other than that, it looks just fine.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

She has a great personality. I'd like to spend some time with her and learn more about her. I much prefer that then if she looked hot at first glance but had a bland, vacuous and uninteresting personality (I'm looking at you Shenzhou).

 

[Zonker]

It's firmly ok for me. It's a little uglier than the other Enterprise variants, but not awful. Honestly I'm kind of bored with Federation design. There's only so many ways to strap a saucer section to a pair of nascells.

Kill it, Kill it

I like the long nacelles.

"I'd like to get my hands on those ample nacelles, if you'll pardon the engineering parlance."

The only thing I'm still getting used to about the Discovery is the teeny-tiny deflector array. Other than that, it's very slick.

 

[Paradise City]

I'm not passionate about it really -- so I guess C most approximates my position. It just looks a bit awkward and mishapen to my eyes -- but not so much that I'm that concerned by it.

That gap in the saucer really bothers me. What is the possible point of that? And why would you have windows on the inner surfaces, when all they can see is the opposite wall?

 

[Mudd]

You mean, as distinct from seeing an endless void with a few bright streaks outside?

Voyeurism is popular in the 23rd century.

I vote B. I don't love the design, but it's fine.

I really like the Shenzhou, though.

Yeah I think the Shenzhou is hot af.

I'm actually pleased with that. The Discovery is pretty enormous, so I'm glad they didn't just 2XL the deflector. The Kelvin Enterprise was originally designed to be the same size as the original or refit Enterprise, then ILM literally just doubled the size of the ship without changing the size of any components like the deflector, docking ports, or windows. From the outside, it could be a ship for 15 foot tall giants(in some shots).

So yeah...I've liked the discovery since we first saw it. I just didn't realize until now that there were gaps in the saucer, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.

 

[Knazzer]

I prefer this design over the teaser I'll give it a B

 

[publiusr]

I just wish the nacelles were raised.

It actually reminds me a bit of the Baton Rouge as it is...

 

[Bry_Sinclair]

Loved the original look from the first teaser. Now it's terrible. Why put holes in your primary hull?!?!? Why would anyone do that?!?!?!?!

Those are speed holes. They make it go faster.
