Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

Did they? Or did they just change from transparent to solid?
That blastshield or whatever is only in place in a few scenes, most other shots you can see the window.

But I think I was wrong, there does seem to be a thick window tunnel

It's closed in at least one shot of the opening title sequence

TOS size was also never canon, outside of an art mistake/easter egg in DSC 2x02.

If they really want to make it match TOS at the end of the series, they'll change the design but keep it at roughly the same length as the SNW one.
 
The Enterprise is such a beautiful ship that she transcends all continuity. As a vessel for our hopes and dreams to grow in deeper knowledge of ourselves and our kin, she carries us with our everlasting excitement, curiosity, and gratitude.

She not only carries us to the stars, she is the key to unlock the secrets of our galaxy. Her journey is the reward we seek.
 
at this point if you are still expecting the Discoprise to turn into the TOS Enterprise by the end of the series I think you are gonna be really disappointed.

I agree.
But on the flip side, I'd bet dollars to donuts that they will make some "fan-friendly" tweaks somewhere along the way.
 
If anyone was still entertaining the notion that the Enterprise in Strange New Worlds will somehow be refitted into matching how she appeared in TOS, may I present this image. These two models are both the same scale.

I mean, Starfleet somehow refitted it to make it larger (from The Cage in 2254 to Will You Take My Hand? in 2257. I’d imagine Starfleet knows how to refit it to return it to its original size by 2265 for WNMHGB.

Starfleet engineers simply enlarged the ship around 2255 and shrank it again around 2260.
The Yeager class of the 24th century has been described as consisting of an Intrepid-class saucer and a Maquis raider that was enlarged by Starfleet engineers.

Thank God we never saw that thing close up on the show.
