Assuming that's accurate, you'd think there would be a couple more bridges between the inner saucer and outer ring.
Unless they have diagonal hallways and such.

The New USS Discovery....

Here she is folks.
Ugh.
They fixed some issues of the previous design. They made others worse.
- I much more prefer the nacelles from the short teaser animation. The ones that look forward. The backward facing ones of this picture looks unbalanced. They tried to fix something that wasn't broken...
- The boxy 'underbelly' is still the weak spot of the design. They improved it since the original teaser last year. But it still looks unfinished.
- I dig the new details on the neck and the dish!
- But I don't like that they shortened the height. All recent new Trek ships were way too flat (Defiant, VOY, NX-01, Ent-E,...) I was super happy to see some ships with height again (JJprise, teaser-DIS). But I can live with it.
- I LOVE the glowing light on the underside of the saucer. Also, the outer edges of the saucer have notably improved. Before it was just the Ent-A saucer edge. Now it is it's own, unique thing.
- Not a big fan of the cut-outs. They were wrong in the original trailer, and they only made it worse. It's not a deal breaker or anything. But I don't like it.
All in all, the view from below was the big weak spot of the Discovery design. All other angles already worked pretty well. The notably improved it as a whole. But she's still far from perfect, and I would like further improvements to be done. Sadly, I imagine that might already be the final design, simply by virtue of the release date approacching fast...

I really like the cut outs. I know they might not be practical, but they sure look cool. Honestly, it might just be because I am excited for the new show, but this might be one of my favorite ship designs.
Closer. I like the deflector dish spike.

What is that thing in the deflector dish?Closer
I actually quite like this design. The cutout is a bit off-putting at first, but I can live with it. I love that they fixed those nacelles since honestly the earlier ones were pretty ugly with the multiple bussards per the incredibly bulky nacelles. Making them thinner and longer really helps alleviate the issues I had. Making the bussards concave is an interesting choice, but they are meant to scoop up hydrogen.
All in all, this ship looks a lot more elegant and I think that's what really counts here.

A big ol' antenna, which is exactly what I was hoping for!!!
I wish the nacelle struts turned up at the end, but otherwise she looks fine. Very USS Vengeance in colour scheme (even purple glowing bits!) and styling - especially that saucer rim. I'm calling it: Section 31.
EVEN higher res. Just give us the high res poster already, damn.
It REALLY looks, like the outer saucer can rotate. But for which purpose?
It does. The back spoke has almost a break looking part that is on the disk, the other spokes lack that.
To me - it looks like the outer saucer-ring and or inner saucer could detach - possibly a form of emergency saucer separation - which the Constitution/Starship Class was capabale of (although that was never shown in TOS or TOS era films.)
Agreed, it's more about separation than rotation. Among things, the windows and greeblies on the outer ring are symmetrical, right down to the Constitution-tribute triangular thingies outboard of the two forward spokes.

Somewhat relevant scene from Stargate SG-1.
With the higher res you can just barely see that the designation is still NCC-1031
Yep, I noticed that too - looks like that registry is still sticking.
Forgive me for posting variations of the same thing, but they keep getting uploaded in various pieces, or finally as the full high res poster.
Whoa, this looks AWESOME! I'm now completely sold on the design of the ship. And I love the new direction of these posters with the stylized color scheme. Even the logo font doesn't look all that bad when they use it like that.
Great details on the Discovery. This ship looks fast and hot! Love that they went for the sleeker, longer nacelles that are attached more interestingly to the pylons. The only things that still kind of irks me is that the nacelles aren't swept up even a little bit, but I can live with that.
I want this on my wall as a big ass poster, now!
EDIT: Oh, and there does seem to be another gap between the inner ring and the bridge sphere. Interesting.
