Not the clearest picture but thats all I could find. Looks different but not in a bad way imho.
And a quick spin around.

A friend told me there was a post credit scene where the ship had red bussards.
What do you think?

Wait, there was a post-credits scene?!?
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
-Thomas Marrone
This was posted in another topic. It IS the Enterprise 1701-A from ST:Beyond
It sure hurt my Star Trek heart to watch the Enterprise ripped to shreds in this movie, destruction on a level we've never seen before. And since they did such a good job exposing the design's weak points, youd have thought they would have went straight to the B with a thicker neck. I think when they are done making movies with this cast, they'll show the new B at the end of the last movie. Interesting that they had saucer separation for the Enterprise too, something I dont ever being a technical feature in TOS, and it was sure never mentioned.

But to be honest, from your posts on the Kelvin timeline, I think they will never make anything you would like. Even if they made the ship just right, the story perfect and everything else, Im pretty convinced you would not like it.
Well I guess the socalled nuTrek just isnt your thing.
On the other hand I know how you feel, I never liked Voyager, I tried to like it, I just cant.
Kirk talking to Scotty...
"...Discard the warp drive nacelles if you have to, and crack out of there with the main section, but get that ship out of there!"
I always thought the "main section" was the primary hull, thus the inference of hull separation.
As for the Nu-Enterprise-A,
I like that they moved the neck back to the front of the secondary hull.
And I bet that there's some kind of new tech that would help prevent hard projectiles from getting through the shields and hitting the hull again.

I kinda liked those JJprise nacelles , at least the shape and the details, i just found them to be oversized both in diameter and in lenght. And i would have prefered orange/red bussards.
Considering the ship as a whole the secondary hull would have been nicer if it had a bigger diameter. Combined with smaller nacelles and a little more space between them the JJ prise would have been rather nice.
I still think the lighting in most scenes didnt do the ship a favor as well.
Having the model in sto to look at closely with more light to show some of the details help the ship quit a bit.
It has grown on me quit a bit. It was the same for me with the excelsior. I didnt like it, now its one of my favorites.
Thing is I loved TNG as a show, i liked most parts of DS9 and i even found some bits to like in Voyager and i found Enterprise to be okay for the most part.
The spirit of old trek didnt survive very long. For me its rather dead since ST7 Generations.
When it comes to ship design I never liked the TNG style. The movie era ships are still my favorits.
The few TNG ships i realy like are the ambassador, the akira and the steamrunner. I still cant find any love for the Nebula, Intrepid or defiant. The sovereign was okay to me but it still bugs me that all those ships are lit up like chrismas trees.
As for the essence of trek as science fiction, thats pretty much hard to put into 90 to 120 minutes as a whole. I give the movies the benefit of the doubt in most cases. Its not easy to put morality stories, action , character development and humor into a movie as it is, let alone in the constrains of a given universe.
In a TV series the characters just have more time to develop.
That said I think the cast did a great job in the new movies. Even in STID most did a fine Job given the shallow story given to them.
However, to each his own i guess. I for one am glad they had the balls to start a freh, I just wich they would use their freedom and not retell the same stories. It is a differnet universe afterall.
Thing is I do care about the prime timeline, and I am much more concerned about them TRIBBLE it up than in the KT movies.
Considering the ship they presented for Discovery , it does not look like i find new favorit ships in there. It is a trek design alright, but they choose the most basic and unimpressive one they could find amough the rejected designs imho.
We`ll see. I like the new 1701-A. By far not as much as i love the Constitution refit wich will always be my fav. But to me its an improvement over a design I`ve come to like over time.
That's pretty much exactly what they did with Beyond. New director. New script. Touch up on the ship.
All criteria met.
I find it rather good looking. Except the overhang of the saucer at the neck. Other than that i like it alot.
But looks aside i wonder why they changed the design just to be destroyed 20 minutes into the movie.
I just hope the ship doesn't look to skeleton like because of that.
It's hard to see but i have the impression that the nacelles are a bit shorter than before. But it could be because of the bad point of view.
On the previous ship i liked the nacelles being closer together, but they should have made them a bit less heavy looking. The whole ship looks like it would fall apart.
The new one? I don't know.
Tbh, i have given up hoping they will make a series/ movie with a Enterprise or other ship i actually like.
So, whatever...
Only change I'd make to that design is to push back the pylons so they connect to the nacelles about a quarter of the way down instead of right near the bussard collecters
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
I would have put the nacelles more to the front and a bit lower than before, maybe even lower than the Saucer itself. With heavy Nacelles like this, i bet it would look really good imo.
(reducing the height of the Pylons about 50% and let them connect to the nacelles about where the cyan colored element is on the nacelles)
Honestly, i never liked how the neck and Saucer are connected with each other, the neck should be more to the rear. Having it connect so close to the center looks just bad imo.
But the worst part is the engineering hull, especially the front part. I really hate it, to me it's the wrost part of the ship by far. It makes the ship look just awful from certain angles.
I get that they deliberately gave the ship a certain "unstable" look to make some part look more pronounced, it could work but not if you overdo it, like they did.
Personally i would have scraped the whole design and came up with a new ship configuration, that is more pleasing to the eye.
But don't get me wrong i like the individual parts itself, i just strongly dislike how they are arranged on the "old" JJ Ent and the "new" one.
