If we don't consider the Discovery version but take into accound the Cage version, that still implies a refit somewhere between Cage and TOS. While not quite as radical as Discovery to TOS... its still a refit. Either way, Enterprise is most likely looking forward to a refit before Kirk takes command.

Rofl, one of the most common complaints about Enterprise was that the ship looked more advanced. By far this was complained about more than any other aspect, and In a Mirror Darkly just made it worse.
Ship Pack not one ship. This is a mixed mode Bundle like the Enterprise Era Bundle with elements of the DS9 thrown in.

Speaking of Enterprise bundle... are they going to fix the part where the NX in that bundle actually unlocks in the C-Store as well? Kinda strange that you have to go back to the bundle itself to get the NX as the C-Store still says you don't own it when you do via bundle.

The connie looked like a toy in Enterprise, and you are the only person I have ever onown anywhere that thinks the connie from TOS looked more advanced.
There are tos fans out there....~sarcastic gasp of shock~....and many feel it does look more advanced.
Was fearsome in Darkly, as well as the fanworks like ST Continues and Phase 2.
The TOS enterprise has always looked more advanced than the NX because its cleaner, more crisp. You cant see the hull plating or the seams so to speak as its built soo well.
I cant believe I'm going to say this but on reflection the interior does too (sure the graphics/monitor screens maybe but that's an effects issue with the time it was made. The NX is very, industrial with an engine room that looks like a sub station for power lines. It screams "yeah we're gonna build a starship but haven't really done it before"
The TOS enterprise is clean and organised, it has big corridors for easy movement of people and a very well laid out bridge.

While it may look industrial, at least it does not look like a Brewery.

wonder how the plagerism cease and desist lawsuit is going to effect the tardigrade pet in the pack, or the whole disco thing anyway
Considering there is nothing to the lawsuit, then it won't affect anything. It far more likely that it is due to parallel development rather than some employee of Discovery getting their ideas from a lousy indie game that is not out yet and the vast majority of people that heard of it through the lawsuit. Personally, I think this clip is far more likely for how Discovery and that indie game developer got their idea from.
> so it's 2022 and my crossfield and walker bridges are just that...bridges still. oh and there is a turbolift in each that goes nowhere. but yes, the actual bridges look fantastic. all the doffs missions are accessible, but you'd think that they would've made at least the crossfield's decks available to visit, since they are in fact part of multiple episode missions. They've been created already. and my premium, paid for with money crossfield got jipped on its interior? pfft. i want one tha's muh main's babygirl. she needs the full enchilada por favor!

Not to me, even Drexler.

given the decades of difference and budget issues, Id agree the TOS looks more advanced. Might be more readily noticable with the TRIBBLE Enterprise
And to you, as well, Koda.

So if anyone should sue Discovery, then it is Neil Degrasse Tyson.
