    This looks pretty good to me, and so does that Constitution silhouette.

    The Ambassador class looks fine as is, it doesn't need a Kelvin style redesign/refit.

    Me likey.

    The nacelles were always the biggest problem for me with the Discovery. Such a small change, but very very effective.

    Should a Starfleet ship really have airplane wings?

    In my head, I explain that away by telling myself that aerospace engineers moved on from jetliners and military craft to Starfleet vessels.... therefore it's somewhat ingrained in their style of design.

    Who knows, perhaps that prototype sketch was designed with atmospheric entry in mind, and those rear wing-like sections aid in stabilization during re-entry.
