Now THAT'S Disco enough for me!I decided to embrace the Disco! Just about a month left and we will get to see this thing for real (or 'real')!

Unless the bridge is tiny, I'm guessing the figure's scale is way off.

Or the entire sphere is the bridge/they decided to put the bridge in the core of the ship rather than on the top or bottom of the ship.
His Holiness Genus Roddenchrist is rolling over in his grave at the thought of that notion. The bridge MUST be on top of, and in CLEAR VIEW on, the primary hull!
Probably, but the person's size fits one deck nicely with that sort of window placement. At a normal head leave so a humanoid could look out into space all along the rim.
The other ship already broke that rule by having the bridge on the Bottom of the primary hull.

Oh, yeah - this show is breaking all kinds of the Great Bird's rules. AbramsTrek did a similar thing with odd-numbered nacelle starships (assuming they all had single-coil assemblies).
Happy to see this, actually. The franchise needs some innovation and fresh perspective.
IF HE KNEW HOW MANY PAGES OF DEBATE HE WOULD SPARK, HE WOULD HAVE DONE IT TO THE CORRECT TREKKIE SCALE™
For me, the look just screams separable sections. It looks like different portions can be removed as needed.
He broke his own rules on many occasion. There Niagara class has 3 Nacelles and it went out under his watch during TNG. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Niagara_class
It has been argued that, since all Galaxy-style derivatives (including single-nacelle Freedom class and AGT E-D) with the wide nacelle shell each appear to house twin warp coils, they can have any odd or even number of nacelles the designers want, as there will always be an even pairing of warp coils within proximity of each other, preserving Roddenberry's rule of warp engine configuration. Assuming 23rd century TOS-era starships possessed single coils (including Discovery and Abramsverse ones), those rules that specifically applied to them were broken.
Edit: The first real violation, from what I could recall, was actually from DS9 and the Hutzel-class, that had three Excelsior-style nacelles, which likely only had single, albeit longer, coils compared to its earlier 23rd century counterparts. Although, by the time the 24th century came around, it's possible there was some experimentation with miniaturizing coils in older shells, potentially allowing for twin inline coils on such a design. Either that, or Gary Hutzel just didn't read/didn't care about the memo.

I see your point, but I'm not sure they were too fussed with ships that would only be seen as fuzzy hulks in the distance (at least prior to HD)
