The back half looks kinda like they took it off a Klingon battlecruiser.

I was under the impression from past 'treks', that the 2 nacelles had to be elevated, because anything caught between them would be incinerated when the ship goes to warp.
The side view makes me think this is sometime around TNG. Looks vaguely like a mix between Enetrprise D and E.

is this a thing? or did I make it up? I can't remember where that comes from. maybe I'm remembering it wrong..(?)

As Jeyl mentioned in post #276, I'm guessing this is Producerspeak for, "We're still working on it to make it look less like a CG ship, but this is essentially the design we've chosen."http://trekmovie.com/2016/07/23/breaking-fuller-announces-new-series-titled-star-trek-discovery/
UDPATES: During the subsequent press interviews producer Heather Kadin exclusively told Trekmovie.com that the design for the U.S.S. Discovery is not final.

This is what I remember reading somewhere more than a few decades ago about the TOS Enterprise--that the warp engines were positioned so far away from the occupied sections of the ship to protect the crew from radiation....Keep in mind the original designs were done in the 60's were the design thinking was influenced to some extant by nuclear power. I.e. keep the nasty radiation stuff away from the squishy crew people...

Wow. I never thought I'd live to see the day when the NCC-1701-D would be the second ugliest Starfleet ship in the Star Trek universe. :facepalm
