Could this be the ship they're refering too, or is the same name be just a trick of Chance.
We know the ship is the USS Discovery of the Discovery Class, but is it the same USS Discovery that Data spoke about in TNG?
No we don't, the article specifically said 'unknown class' I suspect the name is purely coincidental to the one Data spoke of, and I'd suspect a homage to the NASA shuttle, and maybe an indication of the tone of the series (perhaps focussing on discovery and exploration, and first contact scenarios )
The ship looks like one of the concept enterprises for TMP
Your pain runs deep.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
If Cryptic puts this in game, they will have found a way to get me to play my klink ... that monstrosity desperately needs to be hit with every torpedo the Empire has available ...
Well, it's taken the prize for Ugliest Federation Ship from the Arbiter so that's something...
Only thing ugly about the arbiter is the.. ok ARBITER is ugly. Avenger is not, which is why I always use avenger skins on my arbiter.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
I kind of hope the show is along the same lines as Red Dwarf because there is no way I can take it seriously with one of the ugliest looking space ships I've ever seen
NCC-1031, so it will play probably between ENT and TOS, pre-kelvin timeline.
I was intrigued by that registry number as well. The font on the hull, however, looks to be more similar to the font used in the 24th century (not sure if that actually means anything).
If it has to be a prequel series, I suppose I should take some comfort in the fact that it's not yet another previously-unknown Enterprise.
And yes, I remember seeing that McQuarrie design in an article in Starlog, back in my misspent youth. Glad they didn't make the saucer section as relatively tiny as McQuarrie did.
The music is a riff on the Klingon theme, so take that with the decidedly hybrid look (Federation saucer with Klingon hull and a mix of both for the nacelles) I'm wondering what that all means.
Really expected them to announce the cast today. They have to start shooting fairly soon to meet the release date, so it has to be somewhat cast by now.

She looks to be based on an old concept for an Enterprise.
No we don't, the article specifically said 'unknown class'

I actually can't decide rather I really like that ship or if I totally hate it.
It does definitely look like a hybrid Fed-Klingon design which would be.. strange.
Glad it's a prime universe show though!
At least, I can still see it on Twitter. And yeah, looks like a Fed/Klingon hybrid ship, and not really the best of kind, in my opinion.
I mean Star Trek Discovery, duh.

Watch the twitter about moar info...
Based on the registry number, I'm thinking sometime between enterprise and TOS.
That ship desperately needs to be used for target practice though ... and people said the JJ-Prise was ugly ...

It can't be a tactical ship...
U.S.S Discovery...would that be a science ship of some sort?
Is this show going to be about exploring, or what?

New Star Trek series? Guess that means new hatred for new things. This thread is already well underway.
Like hell it had better not be!
I'm not even talking about the design of the ship, that entire cg sequence looks like something done for a fan film, not a major television studio.
I mean Star Trek Discovery, duh."
I didn't notice that, very funny, LMFAO.
TRIBBLE: Star Trek Discovery or TRIBBLE: Sexually Transmitted Disease.
I took lessons from all the JJ-prise haters

Such a butt ugly looking ship.

Well, now that people are coming to terms with the Kelvin Timeline, we can all focus our efforts into hating Star Trek Discovery.
Hating new things we haven't seen before is what Star Trek is all about.
Seriously, if they do this, why?!

design however is not my favorite makes the Deep Space Science Vessel look sexy
