Apparently it's similar to(or the same as)the model used in Mudd's Women Remastered and Operation: Annihilate Remastered.

So why isn't the ship painted in psychedelic colors? Haven't those guys ever seen a period VW Microbus?

I like the original much better. This one is rather shapeless. A big part of the appeal of a civilian ship, especially a small one, is its styling. This one doesn't have much style.

But the original was a Tholian ship with nacelles on it. Sort of stretches credibility.

^ Yes, I know that. But this new ship doesn't have an interesting shape. It's just a lump. I think they should have come up with something more striking. They might have even tried another ship with trilateral symmetry.

I have to agree with Masao. When I first saw the front of the ship, I thought it was some joke. It looked like something I scribbled on paper as a kid. I, like Masao, was hoping for something with a more definite shape. Oh well, no big deal.

Yeah...pretty unimaginative- also, that nacelle configuration hardly works for landing.

Well... it looks like sperm wit warp nacelles on it. Then again it's a 1960's episode of The Original Series. They should have made it into one of those doctor prescribed vibrators. At least those have interesting shapes.
