#2 - why the hell can't the execs in chart of previews for Star Trek make things surprises anymore? I mean they totally gave half of Nemesis away (or at least a number of eye candy surprises) in its previews and now with this they took away a whole lot of mystery of this here future-ship. Those Bastards!
#3 - It kind of looks like a Cheyenne Class from what is visible.

That's only because you can see one side. If you saw behind his head you might see a nacelle..
But its all speculation anyway.

"It kind of looks like" not "hey look, it's a Cheyenne". Think more of it as a comment on how '24th Century' that ship looks for likely being morelike 29th Century, rather than a comment of starship design ignorance...

Could be a timeship/starship. How does it look like a Cheyenne, they have 4 engines??

I think he meant the bottom half (more like the starboard ventral nacelle) should also be partially visible if it's supposed to represent a Cheyenne or something similar.

Major, major, MAJOR (get the idea?) Spoilers ahead... $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Apparently, according to a very reliable source, "Azati Prime" will feature a 26th century Federation, and more specifically, a 26th century Enterprise, the Enterprise-J. If this is indeed the Ent-J, then I'm very unimpressed. I would have figured that by the 26th century, warp drive would have become obsolete (if that is indeed a warp nacelle).
So there's going to be 12 Enterprises in 400 years. A pretty awful track record, considering that just the Ent-D herself was supposed to last for 100 years.
*edit* (I originally thought that the May ep "E-Squared" would feature the 26th century Ent-J as well, but I might be in error.)

Enterprise - J? You think they would come up with a better name. J? Thats sad. But it does leave room for the other ships.

This is what I meant regarding the similarity**...
**Key word: "similiarity" - which seems to escape those not catching what I originally was getting at...and that is ignoring the nacelle count.

I'm just glad it isn't supposed to be a 29th century ship.
Personally, I think the idea of seeing a 26th Century Federation is kind of cool. Probably having to do with Future Guy's faction in the Temporal Cold War.
I'm also glad we might get to see some new Federation ships. I had feared those days were over.

So am I. I just wish that John Eaves wasn't designing them. Not only are his ship designs unoriginal, but in this particular case, this ship from the 26th century looks an awful lot like the ship with the same namesake from the 24th. (Granted, I realize that all I'm seeing here is an obscured computer image and not the actual thing, but from what I do see, that's what it looks like to me).
