USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Son, they resigned the ship from the ground up. They redesigned almost everything, even the Vulcans re less green. It was 3 to 5 years in setting. And yes, you are wnting it to look like a cheap fan film, the TOS design will always look that way , it lacks detail and its super dated.

Come on, man! You know this could work in the new Pacific Rim movie with the proper lighting. :nyah:

This bunch is sure acting like it. They do not grasp basic design at all. Hell, Tushkin is saying redesigning something, so the shape is not the same at all, or the ratio, or the color, and with lighting added is the very same item!
 
They're the exact same dish but a different shape.

No man. Once you change somethings shape, its color , the texture and the lighting its not "exact same ". It is clear the dish was inspired by the TOS dish, but its not the same dish.

Edit: And its only clear to folks who study the old dish.
 
There appear to be people in Cage-style uniforms in the season finale back on Earth. Though most are in a grey-blue with black pants, and tend to be blurred because they are in the background....but they seem to make up maybe an eighth of the audience?

I see them. Hard to get details, in the pics we have, which I'm sure was deliberate.
 
The man who created the setting, tossed that styling himself.
You've been saying this for what seems like years and it's still not true. Bob Wise and Richard Taylor were responsible for the look of TMP. Roddenberry was along for the ride. Heck, he wanted to get the original model back from the Smithsonian to modify it for Phase II but they wouldn't give it up. Joe Jennings wanted to keep the styling Matt Jefferies designed for Phase II and was overruled by Taylor and Probert, not Roddenberry.
 
Although Retro is not an inaccurate way to describe the look of TOS, Psychedelic and Disco Era(no pun intended) better describe the look, and that definitely is not going to fly now. though the Exterior of the Ship does not really look like those things(for the most part) the design and details are simplified in a way that is not pleasing the eye of the average Joe
 
You know what, a good designer should be able to work with different styles. If the show calls for Art Deco starships, then you gotta do cool looking Art Deco starships and not some Mass Effect shit. If you are doing Warhammer 40K, then you gotta make the ships look like gothic cathedrals.

Trek does not call for that. The issue you guys are failing to grasp here. Only a tiny, every shrinking sub group wants what you are demeaning, and it will not grow Trek. DSC has a set style, so that is the style you design for. Not a canceled TV show from the 1960's which the setting moved on from 40+ years ago.

He went along with it man, he could have said no. The Fact you just pointed out he was gonna toss it anyhow. And it would have been cheaper to modify a model then scratch build. This is why we see the big models modified into new ships oh so many times.
