that would be something positive.

Because they ripped off the designers from Starfleet Battles board game AND The Starfleet Command/Academy computer games. Those ships were originally Akula Class ships, but they altered it where the secondary hull replaced the upper nacelle.
Inspired by.
They did no such thing. That's like saying that the Nebula class is a ripoff of the Miranda class because the components are located in the same place.
This is Ryan Church's original design for the Kelvin (originally named the USS Iowa):

It's obviously inspired more by Franz Joseph's Saladin class, only with a secondary hull on top. But it's not a 'ripoff.'
I love the finished screen version of the U.S.S. Kelvin but I love that original design even moreso. 
Regardless, I said SFB which Franz Joseph's designs are a part of. It however to me looks more like the Akula class. And yeah,maybe I shouldn't have used ripped off, but they still borrowed the design from those sources. Whether it was SFB or SFC,I dunno but those were the sources used to design the Kelvin.
Indeed.I love the finished screen version of the U.S.S. Kelvin but I love that original design even moreso.
There are tons of fan designs where there's a saucer and nacelles in that configuration. Heck, there are even canon designs such as the Constellation and Challenger classes with that same profile. Church no more borrowed or ripped off the design than Andrew Probert borrowed or ripped off Matt Jeffries' TOS Enterprise design when he designed the Enterprise-D. And unless you have definitive proof that Church looked at or even knew the existence of the Akula or SFB before coming up with the Kelvin, that's just supposition on your part.
The Eaglemoss USS Kelvin magazine shows the design process for the ship. They were basically spamming a saucer and 1-3 nacelles in any way and combination they could think of until they settled on what we got.
So I'm far more inclined to think both the Kelvin designers and whatever it is that came before came to the "hull above and nacelle below" design independently.

He was also a concept artist on DSC Season 3.
Season 1 and 2 confirmed!
I don't think in terms of output and network support that Star Trek has ever been as healthy as it is now.
I’m sooooo excited for SNWs!
Cannot wait!
Huzzah!

All this talk about Kirk's brother and sequels and prequels to episodes in other shows has made me realise the thing I want most from SNW is an episode like TNG's Lower Decks but it's just the Ensigns sitting around a table talking about how hot Pike is. Would make the show much more relatable since that's what I'd be doing.
SNW to premier May 5th

You missed out the bit where it's already renewed for Season 2.
So, now that we have a release date and confirmation of a S2 renewal, when do we get an official Strange New Worlds forum in the Paramount+ section?... and more importantly: A TRAILER??
And how long after it's created before the first thread declaring the series to be a soon-to-be cancelled failure gets posted...
As soon as Alex Kurtzman is secretly fired... again.
