I thought so too when we saw Voq go in after the power source, didn't look that big at all.
I don't mind that it is though, the viewpoint was at an odd angle in the footage so easy to misjudge.
Another image from STO
It seemed over large to me as well, its bigger than an NX, but I did not think it was 400 Meters big
this is a discussion for another thread i'm not wading through, but given the show's interest in telling a new story while simultaneously dragging its ass across the carpet into something recognizably star trek (see the developments of last week's episode), i'm not entirely convinced with spore drive and mirror universe shenanigans, we're not actually in some half-and-half timeline. maybe i'm being too optimistic.
The MU stuff linked to TOS and ENT, they cite both. People think ( incorrectly) it looks like Kelvin, it does not. But the issue is, it does not line up at all. Kelvin has a whole different timeline, the Enterprise has not yet been launched yet, the klingons have not been seen in decades, there was no conflict and so on. It simply does not line up with Kelvin at all.
oh yeah definitely not. what i'm saying is the assertion that the show takes place in the prime universe could be along the same lines as "javid iqbal is a real person" or "lorca is just a different type of starfleet captain".
you're probably right. but, you could just as easily be wrong given the producers' love of plot twists.
I bet a lot of fans who didn’t read interviews probably think this is a different universe, or don’t care.
I don’t think it would kill the show.
You don't think making it look like a cheap fan film later will kill the show? Really? How many viewers do you think they will keep if it starts looking like a cheap TOS fan film?
No I meant them saying we’re not in the Prime universe.
I wasn’t talking about visuals.
it’s not a show killer if they find a way to escape the shackles of the prime timeline. especially if they want to do spin-offs.
anyway, apologies for the tangent.
This I agree with, but I was talking about visuals
You were the only one. Pst wasn’t talking about visuals either if I’m understanding correctly.
No one here was taking about going to 60’s verse.
Fair enough, I have been dealing with folks since Sunday elsewhere who keep saying the look is gonna be reboot to "true" prime. And I clearly read the incorrect thing into his post.
I don't think Discovery is taking much inspiration from the Kelvin ships(in terms of exteriors). The Enterprise in 09, which was originally intended to be about the size of the refit, is almost identical to the refit in many ways. And all those other Starfleet ships, like the Kelvin(and Mayflower? I don't remember all of their names), despite their sizes as well, look like they come straight outta TOS.
The biggest similarity I see is the laser guns shooting. That is similar to the reboot films.

What most people see is simply a modern filming style. The textures and such are nothing like DSC. Some of the effects, as you point out might be,
