Nope. Just talking about it several times. Including eating enemy Klingons.
USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

I'm thinking it was a rush job so they could show it off.

Sheesh, for $9k a pop, it better not be some rush job.
Just the display model I meant, not that the final product would be.
The ones in the images is a prototype.

You're right!
It doesn't even ship until Spring 2019
That's a great looking dish.
So far it looks like a good model but it does look a little floppy in places. I'll chalk that up to prototype though.

You know, if the ship really is 480 meters long, that is going to be a big turbolift shaft.
Also the bridge window is going to be huge compared to Discovery's.
What if that two story interior set we saw in the production trailer really was the Enterprise's bridge?
It's certianlly a domed shape interior, it has struts like the Discovery bridge, there are what I think are consoles along the outside of the circle. At 480 meters deck 1 would certainly be big enough

I was playing around with the classic and the refit, and I found a look that I kinda like..
Yeh - especially the bit where he sold some aliens their own oceanThat file on Mudd is hilarious at times....got the whole sell-'em-the-Brooklyn-Bridge thing going there.
I'm very curious what's behind the Enterprise's distress call....do they need someone to get Spock to Vulcan, because it's pon farr time and he's starting to run amok?
and my guess for the Enterprise distress call is that the crew is slowly being turned into bionic zombies. Who sound Swedish.
I must admit the whole thing does smack of the Radioactive Man movie (“I want to get as far away as possible from that awful camp 60s tv show...”)
I think this is particularly evident regarding the Enterprise herself. And, as I said above, even the changes they have made don’t do enough to make the ship fit in with the DSC universe. If they were going to do a (in some cases highly derivative) visual update, I’d have thought they’d have picked one style and designed everything to fit with it.
The DSC Enterprise is the equivalent of the Enterprise B modifications to the excelsior. And we even have starfleet with different types of uniforms all over the place.
Generations is back.
Enterprise Officer's Manual was a fan published book, the kind of thing CBS shuts down today. It's essentially fanfic. (Albeit fanfic in part by Doug Drexler who went on to be involved with DS9 and ENT)Did some additional digging....this is from the Enterprise Officer's Manual, published in 1980. Not sure if every bit of it is considered canon:
Still a very nice demonstration of how this design looks. Again, I don't dislike it at all.
I wish they had illuminated it somehow. My only gripe with the DSC Enterprise right now is that the front end is a bit dark.
How so? We knew the B was an Excelsior class for years before the movie came out.
I meant in terms of the added fins and cutouts etc. The extent of the changes to the DSC Enterprise remind me of the changes to the Enterprise B model. It’s not a reimagining per se - it’s just gluing flares and fins to it. If they were going to reimagine the Enterprise for DSC they could have made it look much closer to the overall DSC aesthetic.
I really hate this Enterprise design. Such a shame.
Why?
For me, it just looks like a cheap copy of the refit from a distance. Up close, it is the usual Eaves work, which I've never been a fan of.
Well, the ship needed updating, but they updated all the wrong parts, and left alone the parts that needed updating. The deflector dish was by far the most retro 50/60s design element that needed updating, but they left it alone. Then they changed everything else around it to be modern, and so it looks out of place. Most of the design is ok, but the neck and deflector just kill the whole thing. The ship is also too squat. And overcorrecting for the JJprise, I assume, the nacelles are TOO far apart.
It was me. See above.
