Because there are a lot of new players who weren't around a decade ago, it's important to make known the fact that this ship was created by a player, not Cryptic.
Long story short, Cryptic held a contest to "Design the next Enterprise" and let people submit their own designs:

They picked the design they liked best and then used that to make their in game ship.
So while it is certainly awesome to see the ship finally become canon, we also need to give credit where credit is due.
Congratulations to Adam Ihle, the acual creater of the Enterprise F!
