USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Compare the designs in the 2360s and 2370s. It happens.
Well, if the models at the Picard museum at comic-con are props they used on the show (there is a shot in the trailer that has some of the props from the Museum in it) then they haven't changed it.Fuck, now I want to see a Galaxy Class on screen again.

When I look at things like the control panels, very little changed.
I'm curious to see if they'll be able to sneak it into the PIC series. People would lose their minds over that just as much as their favorite actors making an appearance.Fuck, now I want to see a Galaxy Class on screen again.

It's been 15 years, there's got to be a few floating around. Kirk can't be the only one that ran his class of ship ragged.
Picard: Is that the Enterprise E? I could have sworn it looked smaller...
Gul Madred: It's the same ship. Confirm to me this is the same ship you commanded and you can walk out of here painlessly.
Picard: Later, Madred demanded that I acknowledge that Pike's Red Angel Crisis bridge was the same as James Kirk's bridge. I refused but he insisted they were the same. At the end of it, upon again being shown Pike's bridge, I actually saw Kirk's...

Official? like Mr Scotts guide to the Enterprise, and the Ds9 book with so many errors that its laughable?
For the book.. why bother trying to shoe horn any ship size or design in it? just like with tos.. write the story, if you need another room.. tada! there's another room.. don't have to explain how you made the room.. its there!
Though I do cheer for the authors, they do on occasion try to smooth out the flubs best they can

I agree. I don't need an in-universe fanwank explanation like the whole "Discovery is classified" BS from the season finale. "The Cage" and TOS-proper are who the Enterprise looked aesthetically back then and the Disco version is how it looks now. Simple.
So how many refits are there?
Keep in mind that the refit approach seems to be a CBS licensing explanation across all works. The recent 'Enterprise War' novel also uses the word refit in there to vaguely describe modifications made for the Enterprise's research mission in that novel, although it doesn't go into much detail.
So... It looks like first refit in 2256 for the 'Enterprise War' mission, which accounts for difference between Cage and Disco. Then another refit between Disco and TOS. Finally, a refit between TOS and the movies. So 3 apparently.
The "refit" between Discovery and WNMHGB is just a cover story for an incident involving bored nanites.
They stole the Enterprise, cannibalized it to make a microscopic version for themselves while turning what they didn't need into a planet, and after being caught they rebuilt it using the original specs.

Maybe the Enterprise was smashed up so badly between Disco and TOS that there was no choice but to refit.
If the rumored Paramount/CBS merger happens, they can remake Star Trek Beyond in the Prime Universe (making it Kirk's first mission in command of the NCC 1701), except Krall severely damages the Enterprise instead of outright destroying it.
this kinda flew under the radar but the short treks teaser featured a look at the enterprise's transporter room (an extensive redress of the discovery set):
I love how the design and colour echoes the Kelvin transporter chamber a little.this kinda flew under the radar but the short treks teaser featured a look at the enterprise's transporter room (an extensive redress of the discovery set):
Navy ships undergo periodic "refits" of varying complexity, but aren't rebuilt like the TMP Enterprise was. I think the biggest change was when CVN-65 got a new conning tower (or at least a major rebuild of it).
the top of the chamber certainly looks like they used something similar to the IKEA trashcans scott chambliss used for the kelvin set, yeah:
The other major error is that these uniforms were outright said to be 'new' by Pike in the Disco S2 premiere, yet here they are being used before 2254. They honestly should have filmed this short trek with the old Cage uniforms.this kinda flew under the radar but the short treks teaser featured a look at the enterprise's transporter room (an extensive redress of the discovery set):
That doesn't really explain the drastic change in scale, though.
Highly doubtful this will happen.
Yeah, it's almost like DSC didn't actually happen the way we saw it on screen, like what people have been saying about TOS...
Perhaps they're 'visually rebooting' the visual reboot.
