Oh yes, sometimes if I want a good laugh I go back through the Kelvin Enterprise size thread from 2009, good times.Don't have to go farhttps://www.trekbbs.com/threads/uss-enterprise-eventually-on-discovery.288986
By the way if we do see the Enterprise E and it has a third nacelle I will quite literally die laughing.
We may not see any ship for a while as they could be saving it for later, if it was me I would save any reveal for the very last sequence in the last episode of the season but plot wise they may not be able to do that in this situation.
They did it with the Enterprise reveal at the end of S1 of Discovery and it certainly didnt hurt the show, would not surprise me if they do it again here.
They saw fit to show us Mars destruction so there is a fairly good chance we will see the ship Picard used at the time in the flashback, the Enterprise E would be fitting but if we get the Odyssey class or some other new class that would be gravy.
I took about 10+ year sabbatical from TrekBBS right after ENT ended, so I missed the whole hoopla around ST09. You have a link to that thread? I suppose I can find it myself, but I'm lazy

Pretty mild compared to Discoprise.

That is what I was expecting in the comic, being an Admiral he can pick whatever ship he wants to head up the rescue fleet and the Enterprise E would make the most sense if it is still in service which it should be.
Much of the saucer section was badly damaged in the Briar patch so it will be interesting to see what changes are made if we do see it.
We saw the front of the saucer under repair at the end of Nemesis..nothing was changed.

I tried looking for it but its buried pretty deep, it is also ridiculously long and I must warn you that it contains diagrams.I took about 10+ year sabbatical from TrekBBS right after ENT ended, so I missed the whole hoopla around ST09.

Lots and lots of diagrams.
The denial was so great you could practically eat it and it went on for years.

Ah nvm then its been at least 20 years since I watched it.
There are preview pics of episode three that have Picard and Musiker on an away mission in the exact same uniforms as shown in the comics, standing in what appears to be a vineyard. This seems to suggest precisely what was depicted in the Countdown comics.
So, do we know for sure it's canon? Of course not. Does the above support the notion that it could be? Yes. As many have pointed out, the story in Picard was written for the series, but cut out for time. That seems to make it more plausibly canon than the rest.

It went on for 100's if not 1000's of pages in multiple threads, one after the other.
It was epic, I suspect the mods would have other words for it though.
Where is it @Locutus of Bored
I bet @King Daniel Beyond knows.
Here's the link for anyone interested. It doesn't look so different to me.

I just had a longer look and I cant find any of them (it was closed and recreated at least twice as I recall) so it may have been deleted outright.I think this is it: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/here-it-is-no-bloody-a-b-c-or-d.73387/

I found it to be an extraordinarily jarring transition the first time I saw it on screen back in 96
Like..I had grown up with 1701-D and to wrap my brain around that being the Enterprise was super hard
I have no fucking idea what they were thinking with those old STO designs. Many of the newer ones are pretty decent, but the early ones are utterly horrendous in way that is hard to explain by normal human incompetence.
Ooh, I like the Imperial variant. Make that new canon E-E

No need for families which meant a lot of space was saved and the ship is more streamlined because of it.
I like all the variants from the STO chart.
