These are cool, thanks for sharing. Wish we could have seen them a little better in action... :rolleyes:

I can't help but notice they all look like early variants of ships we know, except the Europa (which looks like a ship from STO, I forget it's name). In order, after Europa: Nebula, Miranda, Constellation, and the last on reminds me of Defiant, but with real nacelles. I assume it was a conscious decision not to include anything remotely like the Enterprise, I wonder why?

edit: STO's Stargazer class, more or less.

Those are incredible, thank you for sharing! Too bad we couldn't have seen most of them as more than faraway indistinct shapes in the actual episode (Europa notwithstanding).
 
Cool. And yes, rounder would be better. This box-with-three-roundels bow sort of takes away from the distinct appearance of the Discovery nacelle design.

I wonder if they ever put any names on these ships. Many appear in duplicate; we saw the T'Plana-Hath up close, and neither the name nor the NCC-1004 (?) were there, in the places where one would expect ventral pennants.

Also, lots of innovative bridge placements. The Europa isn't of the final shape here yet; did she ultimately have two bridges, one up on the tower-roll-bar thing and one on the saucer, or just the upper one?

The art fails to convey the subtle size differences, which I enjoyed. The "Miranda" is more like the RPG "Burke", noticeably more compact than e.g. the Shenzhou...

They all look better than the fugly pizza cutter that is Discovery, but like Shenzhou none look like from the 2230s-2250s. Some remind me of the Enterprise refit (Clarke) and Excelsior (T'Plana-Hath and Edison) and Europa and Yeager could perfectly fit in a post-VOY setting. I don't think that's a second bridge on Europa. Could be a weapons pod.
