USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

[Belz...]

Looks like the Shenzhou's deflector to me, discovery's is flat with the hull, and more like the Sovereign's.

No, Disco's deflector has an antenna in it, too. The two are very similar.

No I meant the area around the antenna, the Discovery's dish isn't shaped like that.

It's the Shenzhou's dish

Discovery (the design isn't very consistent between shots):

 

[Belz...]

Yeah I just saw that, you're right. In any case, the whole thing is very similar on both ships, if not identical. But we could already see that in the episode where we see the ship class.

 

[Tuskin38]

the hull around it is def from the Discovery.

 

[cooleddie74]

Did you mean the Malachowski? The T'plana is a flat ship.

The T'Plana-Hath. This one.

She shares some design echoes of the Miranda-class starships that come about twenty or thirty years later.

Ok so we're talking about the same ship but I don't think it looks like the Miranda class at all.

This one, however:

...seems more similar.

The Mirandas (if they exist in this reality ) would probably exist right now. Reliant was NCC-1864. The assumption always was that they got refit along with the Constitutions around the same time as Enterprise.

I'd love to see the DSC version of the pre-refit Reliant. I hope someone will do a rendering.

 

[cooleddie74]

The T'Plana-Hath looks like a Miranda and an NX-class starship from over 100 years earlier had a love child and gave it rectangular nacelles for its first birthday.

Don‘t know if this will work, but here are new orthos of the Discoprise fresh off the Eaglemoss booth at Destination Star Trek in Dortmund. Ben Robinson told me he wasn‘t even sure if they were approved yet.

It's really not that bad. It's just... uninspired.

There are only so many ways you can redesign the Enterprise

 

[F. King Daniel]

There are only so many ways you can redesign the Enterprise

Nonsense. There are several professional and fan-made redesigns which are far superior to the Discoprise.

 

[Jadeb]

I was hoping the overdone lights on the saucer in the previous fan rendering were a mistake, but they look just as bad here. Ugh. They've managed to trump the weird shuttle bay lip and the potato peeler pylons as my least favorite part of the design.

 

[F. King Daniel]

potato peeler pylons

I'm never unseeing that now

 

[Tuskin38]

Nah this is the best.

Anyways you said uninspired. How?

You could see them in the actual show.

 

[Jadeb]

You could see them in the actual show.

Yes, they looked OK in the quick glimpse we got. But seeing them from above shows how bad they look. Tacky.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Nah this is the best.

Anyways you said uninspired. How?

It's only unique feature is split nacelle pylons, otherwise it's just a combination of TOS and TMP Enterprise elements, and NX-01 textures.

Compare with the Kelvin universe Enterprises, which introduce new shapes and curves, change established colours etc or even Gabe Koerner's version, which brings in some harsher shapes and battleship-style hull details.

 

[DanielPMonut]

I think it's probable that the impulse engines raise up off the saucer in such a way that they make more of an excelsior-class style raised inset on the upper saucer, but that's speculation and we won't know until S02.
