Spoilers 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed

The Ni'Var ships are called Razors and we see them briefly.
New ships:
* Foresight (civilian evacuation transport)
* Coloma (mining vessel)
New registry:
* NCC-325002 (first ship on the left when Discovery returns) - no name as we see the underside of the ship

From what little I saw of them, the Razors looked like a reuse of the Titan raiders that were attacking Earth.
 
Seems a bit lazy to me, but Disco-A's phasers still have the same graphics and audio as they did in Seasons 1 and 2, and the 32nd Century Starfleet ships fire both red/orange and blue phasers that use TOS/DIS phaser beam sound effects...

Would it have killed them to make some new ones? And maybe give Disco-A quantum torpedoes while they're at it. Earth had them and presumably the rest of the fleet does too.
 
Really wished they gave us some proper looks in the final episode. These new folks in charge are just are not into ships which is a massive shame.
Agreed. Ryan Dening and John Eaves (in season 1) have designed some groundbreaking new ships. I'd love if there were regular Twitter posts and StarTrek.com articles giving us good views of the ships, their names and registry numbers. Instead, we have to wait until they appear in STO and get the Eaglemoss treatment.
Though I am very grateful for the season 1 sketches of the Binaries fleet, and the recent two Twitter posts on 6 ships.

Why does it have a giant bottle opener on the back ?

They really love redundant gaps in this show
For artistic reasons, I guess.

To make up an in-universe reason, the Intrepid-class is a dedicated science vessel. This might be a particular form of sensor platform, like the AWACS piece on the Nebula- and Luna-classes.
 
Or then the modern Starfleet is short on resources, and repairing of battle damage in the bow section took priority...

Starships have always been about obscure gaps. Kirk's had one between her nacelles, for unfathomable reasons, and below her saucer, too. Or alternately we could gripe about the secondary hull being offset vertically, which amounts to the same. But empty space is free, and infinite, and weighs next to nothing, so carrying a few hundred cubic meters of it along isn't really a chore. The Borg with their Cubes make themselves look ridiculous by being so concerned with spatial efficiency...

The USS Coloma is a Federation mining vessel.
Coloma is a settlement in the US state California.

So, the vessel remains either an unseen type, or we could substitute the 2370s era mining freighter from ST: Armada. Or, as the name implies, it's a California-class ship.

The SS Foresight is a civilian emergency transport vessel. So, I wonder if it's the (very) same ship/class as the yellow evac ship at Hunau in "Scavengers"?
 
Found a few, after the explosion, which seemed to show the best variety of designs:

They seem to be intentionally kept in the dark and blurry, for the most part, amping up the dark/light contrast with appropriate amounts of overwhelming light saturation to keep them obscured. Not much detail can be made out on these things outside of general shapes.
 
Discovery’s shuttle bay seemed to be closed for most of this episode. Maybe so they didn’t have to keep rendering Book’s crashed ship.

Seems a bit lazy to me, but Disco-A's phasers still have the same graphics and audio as they did in Seasons 1 and 2
Season 1 didn’t use beams, just pulses. I didn’t see discovery firing any pulses here, just beams. The other fed ships seemed to have a mix of both. But yeah it seemed to be the TOS inspired phaser sound they used in Season 2.

Also I only saw blue bring fired from the Fed ships. The Viridian used red.
