That's the fundamental difference between the OP and the Paramount execs.
Why not just use the pilot design?

Wormhole, you have to be kidding us.
You don't think this...

... corrupts Jefferies' original design more than Church's?
Koerner's and Church's designs both change the secondary hull significantly. Church's saucer is actually closer to the TOS/TMP version than Koerner's, and their nacelles are quite similar, right down to the Bussard foreskin.
Because the "people on the street" wouldn't be caught dead going to see a Star Trek movie. Appealing to them is a wasted effort.
It appeals to me, too, and I'm as big of a classic geek as you are.
Yeah, and the TOS hardcore purists would fill the theater seats.
When in the hell have the Paramount execs had a fraking clue what they were doing with Star Trek? They've been mismanaging this property ever since Desilu got bought out.

Who's going to see a Star Trek film that Star Trek fans don't like? And it doesn't have to be universally despised, just a significant portion of the fanbase screaming from the rooftops that this is not right. Even non-genre websites are pointing out problems with the timeline and how the hardcores are already going ballistic over this turkey.
This is going to be a disaster. Might win the opening weekend, but not much beyond that.
Here are a couple of renders I did awhile back making some modifications to Dennis Bailey's phoenix model. As for the Kroenerprise(sp?) there are things on it I prefer (mainly the secondary hull) and things on the new ship I like...wasn't thrilled with the first pic but looked good in the trailer! 
One with glow, and one without comparing the 3 ships:
Just remembered I had uploaded a test vid awhile ago too:

Then you're ok with changing it...but not by a lot. At what percentage would the change the "too much"?
Yeah. Because Desliu really knew what they were doing.
3 seasons?!?!? WATCH OUT!
The romantic attachment some people have with TOS baffles the hell out of me.

For a ship fresh out of spacedock, that would've been perfect (after all, by the time of "The Cage", the ship was at least five years old, so some minor modifications would be fine).
Most Star Trek fans like this a lot so far.
At three seasons, Star Trek was the only hit out of all the new shows of 1966.
And if they'd only started using demographics a year earlier, Star Trek never would've been bumped from that Monday night slot in favor of Laugh-In.

"Most"?
I'm seeing enthusiasm starting to wane on this sucker, and a lot of us old codgers ready with the "I told you so"'s.
Most by far. Its really kinda sick how some of you are wringing your hands in evil glee, hoping for a flop. See the film before you judge it.
They've gone before so it couldn't hurt.
