He was under the impression that it had to do with the CBS/Paramount split, but CBS released a statement shortly after stating they did own the TOS designs.
It also said that the changes to the Enterprise were for other reasons I can't remember.
USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Then pick another era where they would have more freedom. Don't want to do that so they can milk TOS cultural memes
Cannot see the FB content.
That’s not what they’re doing
Give it a few years and someone will remaster it with the proper look.
Not officially
It won't take years, either, for someone to make a fan edit with what they think is the proper look.
I recall that too. It's only gonna take a few days before new scenes get "fixed." Give it a few weeks or months at most before the inside gets "fixed."
They're just trading on the familiarity of the property - it's what CBS does. They've got new versions of Hawaii 5 0 and Magnum P.I. too.
Frankly, either version of the TOS-era Enterprise looks more advanced than the NX-01. Doug Drexler himself has said that once you get past the real-life, on-set aspects of the NX-01 that were more sophisticated than the original TOS Enterprise like the real computer displays on the bridge set and more advanced materials used to construct the sets of the prequel series the NX-01 is visibly a less advanced vessel than the NCC-1701 of a century later. A busier hull with a less smooth and polished appearance equates with more primitive and utilitarian technology as opposed to the more pearlescent, minimalist hull design seen in TOS which allowed some of that Enterprise's technology to be located within the ship itself and not stuck on the outside.

Previously both Eaves and Scott Schneider said the 25% difference was for "legal reasons". Schneider even got annoyed with fans questions and posted a gif of a man flogging a dead horse!!!
Isn't that pretty much what everyone does these days? And the days before these...
I posted a tweet with that image earlier in the thread
And yet there is still surprise at these decisions.
One might suggest a Next Generation of these pyjama'd space adventurers was a cynical cash-grab. You liked Star Trek? Here are some other guys doing similar things but with added 80's tropes!
And one would be correct.
Yes. Thirty years from now no one will be reviving or "reimagining" the hit movies and shows of this century because there are none to speak of that are not already revivals or reimaginings of stuff from the 1960s-1990s.
Well, maybe Harry Potter.
People will always go for safe bets.
