Yeah it looks like that too - maybe then it was cashing in on Galactica mania? Was it trying to depict the Enterprise or just another Trek 'ship'?

Another possible explanation is that there was absolutely no money or effort put aside for ordering cover art for the novel(ization) in question - instead, a generic piece of scifi art was grabbed from the public domain, or from some source that wouldn't be willing or able to press charges for misuse.

The shape would make a good Gorn ship, but can we come up with some other color? I've had enough of the green ships! It seems like every other race has a green fleet. I know that's an exaggeration, but I'd still like to see something original in the color department!

Hell no they did not- they used brownish/tan ships with red warp glowy parts- no orange.
There were a couple of oneshot Voyager aliens with orange ships, but no one wort mentioning- or ever seeing again, for that matter.
Besides, the Wadi/Zepolite ship had all sorts of stripes and such- not a great combo on a ship, really.

I like the idea of the Enterprise that goes the galactica way as a thought experiment. Not as anything that should become only remotely canon. The artistic work is outstanding in any case. It is exactly how a re-envisioned Enterprise should look like if the series were to be rebooted.
