Fascinating

One detail that kind of stuck out to me is that pretty much all the Federation ships we saw in the first two seasons were some variation of a saucer-and-nacelles design, and the only ships in the show that had the secondary hull were the Crossfield and Constitution classes. So... you could make the assumption that the Crossfield is so big because it’s the Federation’s first attempt at making a ship with that design configuration and they just haven’t figured out how to minimise all the technology (which could also explain why the Crossfield’s design is so blocky and angular). And then they started work on the Constitution class where they were able to refine the concept and scale it down to a more efficient size and design.

The Shenzhou and Enterprise Bridges were actually separate sets. The Shenzhou bridge itself has been reused multiple times or redressed to make other ships. There was another Starfleet ship in a Season 1 episode, which was fighting Klingons, so they used it in that. For Season 2, it became the Section 31 ship bridge and then, most recently, it became the central section of Starfleet HQ in Season 3. The Enterprise Bridge has only ever been used for the Enterprise, both on Discovery, Short Treks and the upcoming spin-off "Strange New Worlds".

The Enterprise bridge was a completely new build, even constructed on a separate soundstage on the Pinewood lot. Watch the behind the scenes featurettes on the Discovery Season 2 BluRay.

Thank you so much for giving credit to the XB-70 bomber. I'm so old I remember my father holding a TV Guide magazine and telling me about a new series called "Star Trek" that would soon premier on TV, and I recognized the design long time ago from the bomber itself and the early 70's series that never happened.

One interesting bit that wasn’t in here, but revealed in Eaglemoss’s magazine that came with the XL Discovery was that the initial idea for Discovery’s defining feature wasn’t the Spore Drive, but a camouflage mode to infiltrate Klingon space: The outer ring of the saucer would detach, so the ship would be able to mimic the warp signature of a Klingon cruiser. Pretty cool idea. My personal headcanon about the segmented rings has been the ability to detach and or quarantine that segment because of all the science experiments that are on it.

Your comedic delivery was absolutely on point in this video hahaha, I'd love to see some videoes about Earth Spacedock/Starbase 1

Actually Discovery's warp core is in Stamets' lab. It's an horizontal one like the Enterprise's from TOS. It's placed at the end of the of the room opposite to the entrence. If you google for images to 'USS Discovery warp core' it's the second search result. So one could argue, that the room with the spore chamber actually is engineering.

There also seems to be a ton of empty space inside the Discovery when they have exterior shots of the turbolifts.

so there is actually a fantastic explanation for the design differences between TOS and DIS in beta canon and it predates discovery by a loooooong time and that is all of the ships, stations, and bases of TOS era trek were basicaly designed by 1 person and that person is captain robert april the founder of the "modern" starfleet corp of engineers and first captain of the ncc 1701 enterprise. before his rise to prominence starfleet didnt really have a standardized design template and they just sort of built whatever the disjointed engineers of starfleet could come up with but the Robert came along and changed everything and created uniform design principles for all starfleet ships from that point on. the bit of fluff was created to add an in universe explanation for gene roddenberrys strict design rules for TOS, TAS, and early TNG ships and its clear that the creators of discovery took this explanation and ran with it but that still means that starfleet entirely changed the designs of their ships, stations, and outposts in about a decade so there is still that inconsistency but ya win some ya lose some

Star Trek as a whole should have (and in a couple of cases, did) steal ideas from Babylon 5. One of these was the overarching storyline, something that B5 had from the start, but that you don't see in Star Trek until DS-9, when it crops up around season...3?...when Rick Berman leaves and the new showrunners can actually start implementing changes to the narrative, turning DS-9 from a variation of the 'alien of the week' formula of TOS and TNG to a more arc-based system that B5 used to great effect.

To be fair. It would make sense for a large fleet to standardize ship designs. It already happens in the real world. I dont see why they couldn't do it in star trek either

Despite my earnest desire to be a "good audience member" I cannot ignore that Starfleet put black boxes in every single ship for the express purpose of finding the cause is any catastrophic disaster to the ship. Then, when it happens on a vast scale (AKA "The Burn") it never occurred to the Entire Starfleet system to track down the black boxes until Burnham does it? That is stretching credulity, isn't it?

The Shenzhou set, which was reused for the Mirror Shenzhou obviously as well as the Section 31 ship in season two as well as the new Federation HQ in season 3. And the Discoprise set, which they put a lot of effort in knowing they could reuse it for Strange New Worlds.

First time to eye this behemoth, never watched the series, but the bronze hue was one of the first things I noticed in this video. I figured the person(s) responsible for the ship's design was just a Steampunker from the way the ship looked in general - the rotating, wheel-like saucer section in particular. Also (and probably about to get myself run out of town for this one), when I saw the layout of the hull my first thought was "proto-Voyager?" but they really aren't that similar after comparing their hulls. I guess it was just V's really long saucer that tricked my mind that way.

The fact that so much of Discovery's technology was so advanced, even by Next Generation standards, PADDs, Free-floating holographic displays, children's toys that made hard light objects, etc and that they had such a culturally diverse crew including a cyborg, people with implementations and multiple alien races made it very hard for me to get into the first season of Discovery as an in cannon pre-Kirk and Spock show.

Re: size, I figured that the wings (since there aren't pylons I guess) to the nacelles might be solid material. Who knows what kind of carbon nanotube structure is optimal for warp and spore drives. I also figured that since it has to be able to flip very quickly, in more than 4 dimensions, in 2 universes at a time, the simpler the geometry the better. So a lot of it might be either solid or just cavities/porous material that doesn't bend. Or acts as a kind of transwarp Faraday cage. Or whatnot.

The design of the Ralph MacQuarrie concept bore a sneaky resemblance to the IDIC symbol. The finished ship still has the whole IDIC homage thing going for it.

Somebody didn't do their research properly... it's only the corridors that are reused between different ships, the bridge sets for the Enterprise, Shenzou (used briefly for Gagarin) and Discovery (used for Riker cameo) are all completely different sets.
