USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Jokes aside, I don't understand why they changed that.

It's the 25%
It's always about the 25% (common, someone make a good Star Trek themed 25% meme)

They went above and beyond with the stripe. That is a 33% change from the old stripe!

Stripes....why not just add some flames on the sides, in homage to this:

I've always hated the panels overlaying panels look. It just looks haphazard.

I don't think they're actually overlayed, it's just the pattern.

It still looks sloppy. The smooth skin of the TOS Enterprise was intentional. Any repairs that needed to be made were designed to be made from the inside.

But that isn't modern, so we get garbage aztec patterns.

What exactly do you mean by "modern", then? You keep using that word but based on your posts I'm not sure it means what I mean when I use it.

The panel tiles on the STDPrise look to be modeled on those of the U.S.S. Kelvin.

"Modern" is an odd word - there's nothing all that modern looking about the ship designs in STD.

Acceptable to current audiences.

Ok that's definitely not how I use it, but thanks for the clarification.

Well, they look like they were designed more recently. Isn't that what modern means?

I consider "modern" to be related to industrialization and democratization. So all television is modern, as a phenomenon of modern society.

I think I played that game.

It was on the cover of the first volume of James Blish's TOS adaptations.

Current audiences will accept an amazing variety of designs and approaches.

It's modern producers who seem pretty self-conscious and imitative in the directions they choose to go.

If you're a historian, "modern" means since the start of the 16th century.

And if you're an interior designer, "modern" means something that's now rather nostalgic.

Weird. Looks sort of like the inside of the Brady Bunch house?

 

[Tuskin38]

the hull pattern reminds me of the NX-01.

Yeah, and a lot of the furniture looks like TOS - because they just used it right off the showroom floors (and Herb Solow's kitchen).

Hmmm....seems like Dinky Toys may have had some influence on the new design:

Too bad their Klingon toy didn't have any influence
