See? It would have worked. 
Thank you
I actually think the Discoprise looks far better with angled pylons instead of the original TOS straight pylons. What I don't like is the pointless cutout in the pylons which serves no particular purpose I can see other than to look 'cool' (and which is one of Eaves's trademarks.) So I hope that's not something they changed for SNW.
The cutout is just gratuitous. I'm no fan of the angled pylons but they'd look so much better without the cutouts!
I remember reading somewhere that the struts were originally designed to look like they did on the original Enterprise, except with an extra beam that would be removed in a later refit. Then when they were making the CGI model they made the struts angled instead, which turned the gap into a cutout.
Yeah, John Eaves called it some sort of heat vent. The smaller part of the strut could be removed to make it look more TOS.
He designed some parts of the ship to look like they could be exchanged for more TOS looking parts.

They're all, always, trying to look cool. From the classic ship to Voyager, Defiant and NX-01.
Never once have they sat down and said, "right we want a dull looking ship with nothing flashy."
Except for the USS Cerritos.
Clearly they are doing it wrong.
Not spindly enough.
The next month's PRs will probably be devoted to Picard S2. Look for new SNW material around the time of episode 4 or 5.
Those are still shots from the video released on Star Trek day.
Correct, but not from DSC season 2, as you mentioned earlier. Plus there are also the more recent stills from the Jefferies Tube subset. Point is, there have been quite a few promotional images from SNW since DSC S2.
Yeah, but they were probably taken by the article writers, not CBS.
I'm referring to publicity images like this. Though Picard's is from PIC Season 1. Haven't been given new ones yet for Season 2. The Lower Decks one might also be Season 1, but it's not like Mariner changed any between the two seasons.
