Stick a fig leaf on them, and cover your piano legs, it’s the way of the new.
Sure, why not? Then let the audience decide.
Yes. All the time, in fact. Sometimes as an interesting project, sometimes as homage, and sometimes just for the hell of it:
Why would you expect this not to be the case?
Shoulder pads are eternal.Sure, you guys scoff, but let's not forget how much the TNG modernization benefited the Romulans.
If that doesn't speak to modern sensibilities, I don't know what does.

Change is fine. If it's a smart and a good change. If it's simply change for change's sake then that can become a minefield to navigate and more often than not changing something just because you wanted to and for little or no other reason leads to backlash, most of it justified and understandable.
The Discoprise is fine so far. It treaded the line between classic and new and managed to pull it off for the most part. But it's also a clear sign the producers know how to rein in their impulses and give us something beautiful when they want instead of just new and garish for the sake of new.

My opinion is that the Discoprise was change partly because they could and with a committee's idea of "modernizing" it. The 1701 is a character just Kirk and Spock. Modernizing them gave us the JJverse.
And a good thing that was too.
Clearly YMMV because I do not think much of the Kelvin universe.
Just a little tease for you, my man. I'll post the final in Fan Art when it's done in a few days. I brought in the original shot, and did a 3D camera solve on the shot. That way, I was able to reverse engineer the motion control camera move on set to get an exact match. I'm having to fudge the position of the Enterprise a bit because the designs are so differently proportioned.
Very nice! I feel compelled to point out that you also have to scale down the JJprise.
Ok, let me step back from my personal attitude on it and explain why it was a good thing. First, it was its own timeline, which allowed technologic and design differences. They altered events for Kirk and Spock's life to allow for significant character change-some will love it and others will hate it, but it still works out in the story.
i don't think individuals have to like Kelvin Trek to appreciate the fact that they could make those changes without the backlash DISCO has made. I mean, the backlash still happened, certainly, but their approach worked for those films.
Wow, can't wait for the final product!

Wait, PixelMagic is Dan Broadway? I feel silly now.

Wow, man. Your work is amazing. That 5 second "1701-A flyby" shot of the 1701-A approaching... whatever that is... is what got me to like the new Enterprise from Beyond... and that clip with Madkoifish's Enterprise in "Star Trek: The Beginning" was a thing of beauty.
Can I purchase you?

The pylon angle out from the secondary hill on the newer 1701-A works better for me than the 2009 version of the Enterprise. The Discovery version has similar angling to that and the much older versions of the USS Enterpriser (TOS and TMP era) that she should look fine from most angles and any sort of fly by pass.
Much better looking for the camera that the USS Discovery at least.

We may have seen as much as we're going to see of her, it's all good. We might see her leaving in S1E1, then that may be it.
And that would be fine with me. It's a beautiful ship, but it's Star Trek Discovery.
