It's really hard to see the starboard nacelle on this ship. I had find it based on the direction of the light source and the shadow that it was casting on the support arm of Spacedock:
According to a release from TrekToday, so far we're looking at the possibility of two new ships. The first is the Shuttlecraft Argo which will be carrying the "Jeep" that the crew uses on the planet.
