Looks like NCE to me, not NCC. Maybe they finally decided to reset the registry numbers for new ships rather than continue using horrendously long six-digit NCCs.

Sexy.
It is an interesting design. However, I dread Eaglemoss trying to do a treatment of it with its absurdly large connecting clips for those detached bits.
I couldn't tell what I was looking at while watching the episode, but it was certainly a lot of interesting shapes. I don't hate it, but I'd love to get a better look at it.

Still can't tell what I am looking at.
No that's just how it's designed and how it appears in the show.
Unless it's NCE, not NCC as I speculated above.
It's got a hole in the middle so people can wave at each other from across... or recreate Rear View!
Sweet!
My head canon is that the Credence was a ship pulled from the mothball fleet, retrofitted, and put back in service. It is possible that with the experience gained from retrofitting the Discovery that Starfleet had more confidence in doing similar work with other older ships.
I just love that they re-used the Discovery corridor 900 years later, after it's already been the Shenzhou, Discovery, Enterprise, Cabot and more. Along with the Discovery Turbolift Funhouse, modern Trek has blessed us with the Eternal Starship Corridor.
The distinctive ring-like design of this ship's primary hull was dubbed the Saturn-class by its Sol-based engineers early in its concept phases, in honor of the breathtaking rings found around its namesake planet. The design is more than just esthetic though, as it allows for experimental torus-shaped deflector shields and warp fields. This intriguing shape allows this class of starship to utilize the negative space within the ring to isolate and study dangerous phenomena at close proximity, as well as pioneering more efficient methods of energy manipulation for space flight at both impulse and warp scales. The latter of these breakthroughs proved to be even more valuable to the remnants of the Federation after the event known as The Burn.

I understand them. It's not easy to think of a reasonable and convincing explanation for this piece of non-sense created by the CBS.
Me and several others from discussion groups find the same explanation. Apart from the registration number(the font itself looks very 23c too), other visual evidences are the late 23rd / early 24th century features on the hull, like the curvature and the texture of the hull plate, layout of the shuttebay and the window, and if you look carefully, some bulge on the hull looks like 23c-style Phaser dual-cannons.

According to the game devs, none of the concept art or CG models they were given by CBS had the name and registry on the side of the hull only on top. This lines up with the Eaglemoss renders as well, which had no registry there either.
I'm guessing it was added late in production, or in post-production specifically for that shot where the Discovery passes her by.

Cool vid. Window lines are weird on these new ships, though. The decks are clearly not straight. Unless they’re not windows but rather sensor packages or something.

It reminds me a bit of a cross between the Starship Titanic and some ships from EVE Online.
You’d think they at least introduce the captain of Voyager or another starship. They REALLY need to do this asap.
