All the belly aching about all the belly aching isn't going to stop people from belly aching either. So why dont you just let people belly ache all they want because there will always be someone who will have an achy belly.

I like the rectangular nacelles and the primary hull is interesting, I just don't like the "Dorito" hull.
The way it's all jumbled together is jarring.
If this does take place between ENTERPRISE and the Original Series, perhaps we'll see the immediate aftermath of the "Federation/Romulan" war reflected in the storyline...?
And they could actually do flashbacks to prominent incidents during the war.
I do like what this teaser infers.
Thinking about it further, this ship could be an experimental design influenced by events during said war and perhaps it's discovered from this ships travels that the wedge shape isn't a good design for optimum WARP flow and results in the style we get in TOS...?
I've always wondered what the Klingons were up to during the Romulan War, did they did they side with the brand new Federation, with the Romulans or stayed publically and diplomatically neutral...?

But seriously, I don't get the bronze/earth toned thing Discovery has going on. The triangle hull meh, I'm not sure yet. It's a design so radically different that they have to go somewhere with it, so I'll wait what they give us. But I don't like the implied "darkness" we get again. Will it be another "grimdark" show? Who knows.

The whole concept behind this is strange. A new Trek series that is on CBS's private Netflix service? A new Trek that does not expand on the new movies? The hero-ship is some sort of strange Federation/Klingon hybrid (I think you can hear it cloak at the end of the trailer)?
Hopefully it has an interesting crew. As weird as this is, I don't know how popular it will be.
It will also be on Netflix, outside of the U.S. There's definitely the cloaking sound there, whether or not it's that ship we don't know. I quite like it, looks like Starfleet taking some pointers from conflict with the Klingons.
Funny - many of the same issues were made of the Enterprise-D - the fans hated it at first. Now, they love it.
What's more surprising - this isnt' the final version of the ship. While people are making video's and posting blogs about how bad it looks, the exec in charge has already publicly said - this isn't the finished ship. This is a rough.
Another win for rushed marketing.
This is basically the look of the ship. So they may clean it up and add more detail. But we still getting a horrible ship. There is no amount of detail to fix this one. It just needs to be thrown in the trash and start over.
I have always liked the Galaxy class.

You know, two months ago when AoY was announced, in every Thread where appropriate I maintained that this all fell in line to where CBS was going with the new Series. Each Season would be sort of self-contained and jump around to and between various Star Trek Franchise Eras.
We too as Temporal Agents and all that Temporal stuff we were doing could also easily jump around to various Eras to run Missions. Now we have a Yesterday's War Arc that is far from complete.

I don't think the CG is the final cut. I love love LOVE it. Lets start by explaining that the ship design is the same one that they were GOING to initially use for the USS Enterpris- A <- Circa motion picture.... IT's a design from a never produced series called "Planet of the titans", and this confirms the rumors that this series takes place after the TOS but before Picard, in fact, perhaps before/during the Motion picture era.
I believe this show will be more gritty and Battle Star Galacticaesque.
As for the "monstrosity" comment about the Discovery, we all had bad reactions to the U.S.S. Defiant, and Voyager, I personally find the Galaxy class to be my least favorite.
Give the Discovery a chance! I actually had a bad reaction at first to the design but after researching the history of this design, (and remembering it instantly from my Art of Star Trek Book from the 1990's) I am very quickly warming up to her. The elements of the wing/chevron style star drive is reminiscent of the very beginnings of a Galaxy class starship. The ship also looks more utilitarian, and "gritty" which fits the era when Starfleet was moving away from it's minimalist submarine designs of TOS and more in to the Modular design of the late 23rd century/early 24th century!
As for the Asteroid launch, in the original sketches of this Starship class (which I remind you, was originally going to be the Enterprise-A) this asteroid was exactly in the sketches of that ship.
Again, the low quality of CGI and asteroid are all just the first draft of the design to give us a taste of what's to come.
Be open!!! I'm loving this, and loving that a rejected design that's being re-cycled with love.
I think that if you look at the people working on this show, and the utilitarian design of this ship, they are clearly telling us that this series will be character driven! Focus on the content not the frame/exterior.
The Music is also reminiscent of Wrath of Khan battle music.... *I think* this show is going to surprise you, and you'll learn to love and accept this ship the way we did with the Defiant in DS9.... Lets wait until we see what she can do!
Obviously, the overall design is based on the Phase II Enterprise.
There are some hints to when the new series takes place, based on what we have seen in the video.
1) The four digit hull registry number. That places it before the 24th Century.
2) The deflector dish is sunken into the hull, something not seen before The Motion Picture.
3) The font used for the hull markings are in the style of The Original Series.
These all say to me that the new series will be taking place between The Original Series and The Motion Picture.
"I'm not big on telepaths myself. I'm not big on guns either. But if everyone else has them, I want to make sure I can get my hands on the biggest one I can."
Though I find this particular ship to be a bit off for my tastes, I'm willing to let it eventually grow on me if they tell us in the first episode that it's an experimental design and as we progress through the series it's shown that it is not meeting the specs they thought it would.
Having a not so perfect ship as a part of the understory would certainly be something they have never done before.
(I don't really count the Enterprise-B as an example as she was just not finished being put together in "Generations")

Good on them for using the first canon concept art of the Connie, a great way to pay homage to the designer of the Enterprise.
The first concept design of the Constitution class ship was the model that became the Daedalus design. This ship's design is inspired by the Phase II/Titan design concept, which was for after TOS and prior to TMP.

Yeah. I really feel like using the KT Constitution now as an example to defend the look and feel of Trek is really disingenuous.
Also, this Discovery ship looks different. And I want to know why. Which means I want to know a lot more about the show. Maybe we find out exactly why IN the show? In an episode or two. Won't that be exciting?
I mean wow, this is a new Star Trek TV show. With new crews and this is a new ship. I'm excited as heck. I can't wait to find out more about this ship its crew this show and its story.
This is Trek! Real deal Trek! Hating on it seems like the exact opposite of "true" Trek fandom to me anyways. But if it offends a person's personal headcanon, I guess that level of emotional backlash is to be expected.
Why does the new star trek TV ship have a cloaking device ?
( you can heard it is cloaking near the end of the latest clip ,
no visible evidences have been discovered by klingon intelligence yet cough cough lol )

So the complaint that this is a rough and "shouldn't they have a finalized production quality trailer" ready by August for a show coming out in January is kind of silly. They haven't started principal shooting on the show yet. This is a television series that will be getting shot between September and March, according to the show runner. They still are finalizing cast and the writing team.
So suggesting that this is too close to launch date for them to be releasing a rough CGI teaser, is just ignoring the rest of the context of the show. It's IN production. They can't even show you the uniforms yet or the captain. But the OP complains that this is too rough and too close to launch date to be too rough.
I was hoping that the look of the ship could be explained by some development with the Klingons. But, given the time it will probably be set in, I don't think I should hope for Klingons being part of the Federation in the new series.
Maybe an alliance.
I still think it would have been better to have the new series set after Nemesis. It would have given the writers a lot more freedom (in this setting they cannot have too breaking developments take place since it would be strange never to hear about it during the 'later' series) and it would have been more interesting to see future developments of the Federation, rather than developments that we already know the outcome of.
Whatever the story will be, I hope we'll see a more prominent role of aliens. An Andorian captain with a Vulcan chief engineer and a Tellarite helmsman and maybe one human chef or something Something different than a story about an human crew with a token Vulcan or Klingon.

So suggesting that this is too close to launch date for them to be releasing a rough CGI teaser, is just ignoring the rest of the context of the show. It's IN production. They can't even show you the uniforms yet or the captain. But the OP complains that this is too rough and too close to launch date to be too rough.
Maybe an alliance.
I still think it would have been better to have the new series set after Nemesis. It would have given the writers a lot more freedom (in this setting they cannot have too breaking developments take place since it would be strange never to hear about it during the 'later' series) and it would have been more interesting to see future developments of the Federation, rather than developments that we already know the outcome of.
Whatever the story will be, I hope we'll see a more prominent role of aliens. An Andorian captain with a Vulcan chief engineer and a Tellarite helmsman and maybe one human chef or something
