USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Its not different at all. What, the Enterprise couldn't have another refit between the cage and Disco? Or Disco and TOS? The tech was old at both points and Connie's are modular, designed to be refit easily.

You don't like it because it's different than you're used to. You can say that. ItsYIts a valiedvalid opinion. You don't have to keep trying to come up with "objective" reasons it's a "bad" design.

Where did I say it was a bad design? I said that the ship is flatter than I would like and I find no reason for the gap in the pylons. You’re the one erroneously translating that into “I hate the ship.” So stop putting words in my mouth and stop trying to think for me.

The holes are useless.

Heres plenty of uses.

Uses don't matter is fictional and different.

TMP made just as big differences, if not bigger

That's totally different because there are in universe reasons.

Who says there aren't in universe reasons for these differences?

Stop telling me what to think!!!!!

:rolleyes:
 
John Eaves concept Enterprise - model by Marc Bell

Fantastic model with some great views!

Although he made one small mistake, Eaves' concepts didn't have the glowy blue parts on the nacelles, they were grey like in TOS.

But other than that, it's beautiful.
 
This is a believable precursor to the ship in TOS.
Nacelle pylons aside—surely a trivial thing to swap out, whether they start out straight or backswept, since we know from "The Apple" and "The Savage Curtain" that the nacelles themselves can be jettisoned and presumably replaced—it looks very much like what we got, to me. What else really differentiates it, beyond surface details? (And some of those, like the deflector dish, are more TOS-like in the revised version!)

It's the TOS ship, just the way she and her bridge module looked in 2257 and 2258. If you conveniently ignore the jacked-up scales CBS producers say the ships are she fits more or less and kind of smoothly into the lineage between the NX-01 and the NCC-1701 refit and 1701-A.
