New Star Trek movie production designer Ryan Church, the designer of the new starship Enterprise NCC 1701, posted the following message at TrekMovie.com comments forum, responding from the criticism of some fans regarding his new design. Here is his message :

"I'm not going to get involved in the mud slinging, here, but needed to assure you guys and gals: we've built you a fine ship." Church wrote at TrekMovie forum "To clarify: there's a slight optical illusion occurring here, consequence of the "camera" angle. For Rick [Sternbach] and others who worry the nacelles don't have a clear line of sight over the disc - they, in fact, do. We were hardly working in a vacuum. I raided ILM reference photos like a madman. We were deferential to "inviolates" of Star Trek design vocabulary. Additionally, the profile here isn't 100% representative, because, as you've noticed, the Bussards are dimmed. The true profile of the nacelles may or may not be revealed here, and that's all I'll say."

You can read more, including Sternbach comments, at TrekMovie.

Star Trek Phase II fan series actor/producer James Cawley also defends the new Enterprise design in a new editorial at TrekMovie.com.
