As to the saucer design: All art is not just about what it is but when it was made.
Maybe discussed above, but The Invaders ship is clearly based on the Venusian "scout ship" popularized ... |

There's a page of notes in the front of the "Journey to Babel" script, presumably written by Fontana, as it sounds like her. This is what it says:

The thing is, it IS possible to make new VFX fit the style of the show and still look great. I've seen it done. Just too many such efforts ignore the look of the film. I'm no fan of The Director's Edi ... |

Only series one aired where I grew up. I've seen only a couple three episodes of series two since.
