Besides the awesome new shuttlecraft landing, it looks like we get a new design for the "pinwheel-class" Orion ship, based on the "spinning glob of light" from the original footage! There's definitely a structure to it this time around, with what looks like a wheel with lights spinning around. Unfortunately, as in the original it zooms by so fast that it's hard to get a good glimpse of it (although I'm sure Startrek.com will be posting the pics of it soon). Yay!

They've also got FTWIHAIHTTS and WNMHGB. It doesn't look like they had finished the effects for WNMHGB - the phaser blast at the end looked very... "un-enhanced"

Nice! I wonder... are any of those shuttles erroneously labeled Galileo?

Well we can see the Columbus on the right there. What's the other one supposed to be?
All the effects look gorgeous(I don't often use that word about effects!), especially the shot of the 1701 in front of Yonada. It's almost totally spot on, just needs a little colour.

Yeah I was gonna start a thread on trek remastered but I got lazy. That orion ship is interesting but it kinda looks like the enemy ship from that show UFO.

We know from TOS-non-R that the crew kept painting the name Galileo to new craft after losing the predecessors. There's no real reason to be worried about Sarek's ride being the Galileo despite the fact that a craft of that name had already been lost at that point.
It would be a nice touch, though, if the VFX folks labeled this craft Galileo II in this episode already; in TOS-non-R, the II was only added as late as "Way to Eden".

The only reason the missiles look crappy is because they're emulating 60s-era effects.

The shuttlebay... Well, the detail is delightful. And I can dig they would want to make the observation areas match the set from "Conscience of the King", although they could just as well have left those windows unaltered and instead placed the group of four windows at the front end of the bay (where we know there is an observation area, too, at least in ST5).
The shuttles are slightly odd, though, as the result of the scale difference between the prop and the set. How come the crew is able to see out (and be seen) through the front windows, when in "The Menagerie" it was confirmed the pilots sit well below window level? Do the pilots perhaps sit on telescoping chairs that are elevated for approach?
