How dare creative people want to be creative? They should just recreate 60s era tech and save themselves the trouble of hiring artists.
To nostalgic people.
I'm one of them.
I've been giving this some thought, trying to figure out the root of my instinctual reactions, and I think it comes from the idea that there's an in-universe design of the ship, uniforms etc, and then there's what we get on screen, filtered through the limitations of their budget and technology. Or animation style.
The more resources a series has, the better able they are to reveal more of this in-universe truth, to get us closer to this imaginary reality we're glimpsing. Like a HD remaster. In a lot of ways Strange New Worlds is achieving this, especially with the props. Man they have some great props. But in other ways, like the sets and spaceship exteriors, they're redesigning them with a 2020s style. Lights in everyone's faces, distracting shiny floors, blinky lights up on the wall where no one can read them. Instead of getting closer to the truth they've introduced a different kind of obvious unreality, updated for modern audiences!
I can't get past this. It's a straight up deal breaker for me. Either you play nice with TOS or you're not something I want to watch.
I can't help but think of Bryan Fuller when he was initially developing DIS. He had a mandate that no starship was supposed to have rounded warp nacelles like the Enterprise. Why? Mainly because he said so, but also because he wanted DIS to have a distinct look from previous Trek shows. It was a creative choice he was free to make.It still works today, or They wouldn't be selling the crap out of it.

And that's completely fair. My first Trek love will always be TOS but any changes or updates to the era take nothing of it away from that early experience to me of playing with Mego figures and making up stories. TOS stands apart. For me, nothing, no new era, or 2020 update, will take away; only add.
Also that they should be flatter that previous designs.
Yep. Fuller liked flatter starships, so flatter starships we got.
Hot cakes for breakfast?
Flatter starships also take better advantage of modern widescreen aspect ratios.
Thought..
The refit had that 2 story rec deck in the saucer.
Any chance well see it in Snw?
Be a better place for a marrage than a cargo bay

To be fair the other science fiction IP with the word STAR in it hasn't changed their triangle looking ships that were first shown to the public in 1977.
Well, they did change them a bit, as the triangle ships have a noticably different model in Empire Strikes Back. But the movies make sure to show the appropriate triangle for the time period, with Rogue One going retro.To be fair the other science fiction IP with the word STAR in it hasn't changed their triangle looking ships that were first shown to the public in 1977.

Some people suspected the Peregrine might be a science or support vessel because of that.
In the TOS era of the 2250s, a Copper color was Engineering. In the 2260s it was Red.
There wasn't no 'Operations' designation in the TOS era. The Helm of a Starship was manned by a Helmsman and a Navigator. There was no 'Operations' console on the Bridge of a Federation ship of that era.
Operations was most likely assigned to whoever was the Second Officer onboard during that time period.
