The original 60's version unaltered would look silly in the Discoveryverse.
It needs to be scaled down though.
What Exeter version?The Kelvin version is my second favorite after the refit.
I think the Exeter looks stupid.
No! it needs to be 6.482 times bigger exactly!
The one @Blamo posted in the video.
It's from STO. It's a special skin you can get for the Tier-2 cruiser (Which is the Connie Refit in game along with the Excalibur from the Peter David series).
I don't think that is meant to be the same ship.
No? I never read the books.
STO's Excalibur-Class was launched in 2391
No ... but with qualifiers. Use the original shapes, proportions, sizes, and colors, then add in small details to the hull and better textures. Put pipes under those grids in the nacelle struts, and the leading edges of those struts might get some venting. Rework the details on the nacelle insets so they're smaller and more intricate. Rework the edge of the primary hull so that it has the same angle, but more detailed 'layers'. Make the navigational deflector assembly a bit more interesting. Add airlocks similar to those seen in the movie version of the Enterprise.
Details smaller than a meter could easily be considered to have been missed by the poor resolution of 1960s, but easily distinguished in modern, HD resolutions. From a distance, this should clearly be the original ship, but when the camera gets close, more detail becomes obvious that sets the ship in the same production style as Discovery.

Oh hell no. STOP MESSING WITH CANON, MOOVES!
It should be the ST09 Enterprise.
Ah. I never use it myself. If I go cruisers while leveling I usually use the Vesper. The Excalibur is too gangly for me--the pylons look so flimsy. And if I use the Connie refit, I end up just ogling it while B'Vat's lackeys are shooting at me.
It might be confusing if it's the ST09 Enterprise.
Confusing to whom?
Thousand times this!
Nah, it'll match all the other JJ Trek designs already in the show. Throw in the ST09 Enterprise and make it official that this is the Kelvin universe.
