But that's biological augmentation, which is a big no-no in the Federation.
Burnham brings this up in episode 3 (or was in 4?)
Are you saying you want Discovery to ignore the canon?
Poll Do you consider Discovery to truly be in the Prime Timeline at this point?

I don't consider those things mistakes. I like the movies and episodes they came from.
But I am also not going to pretend they aren't plot holes I can drive a tugboat through. Just a show. its fine. If they do ANYTHING to explain why the spore drive doesn't get used again, it will be more explanation than these things got.
What exactly would you say you DO like of Star Trek?
The Denobulans use augmentation and were admitted to the Federation, we have "Unnatual Selection" (TNG) which has a Federation base committed to experimenting with DNA. There are other examples. Augmentation apparently isn't as big a no-no as you think it is.
The characters have always been its strength. Though now, it lags behind other shows badly.
Admittedly, I probably got that from the novels.
I’m Discoskeptic. I don’t dislike it. But I would like a credible, creative in-universe reason why it all looks different - other than “that’s what they told us. They say it’s prime so I ain’t gonna question them”.
What does god need with a starship?
How do you (the generic “you”, not you personally lol) come to a definition of “continuity” and “lore” that ignores part of the established continuity and lore? Other than to avoid coming up with a creative reason why things look different (or why they might look the same), coming up with the idea of the “visual reboot” just seems like doing half the work.
It was Q this whole time, wasn’t it?
Didn’t Daniels tell Archer that Denobulans were founding members of the federation on one of his many jaunts to the future?
I didn't see anything about it on Memory Alpha.
You are right of course. I'm okay with Discovery too, though I much prefer it's original version over the version we have now.
Aside from the Discoprise and Discovery itself, the only other Starfleet ship I like on the show is the Shepard Class. That has a nice TOS vibe to it. If it had the same nacelles as the Enterprise then it would be perfect.
The other Starfleet ships that we saw in the first two episodes are just too much of a radical departure for me to believe they fit in a pre TOS or even TOS time period. And the Klingon ships, I don't know what went on there.
Wait - just got this off Memory Alpha:
Although the Coalition of Planets is regarded as a precursor to the United Federation of Planets formed in 2161, no indication has ever been given on-screen as to when the Denobulans joined it or if they joined at all.
As you were.

That looks even more out of place then the current one.
How so?
I'm fine with the saucer, but I think the way rendered looks superior to the final show. I like the lighting too. And the azteching on the hull isn't overdone like it is in the show proper.
The second choice. Humans prefer comfortable mistakes to something new.
Yes, but the final version will sell way more pizza cutters in the long run.
"Boy oh boy, Mom, you sure can hydrate a pizza."
