Considering the praise it is getting from Dave Cullen and Nerdrotic it absolutely sounds like someone who actually is a Trek fan is in charge of season 3
7 TMP Constitution refit [ST I-III Enterprise and IV-VI Enterprise-A]
8 Klingon B'Rel class Bird of Prey [Specifically the HMS Bounty, the one from ST III/IV used to go back in time and get the whales]
9 Saber class
10 Klingon D7 Battlecruiser
11 NX class Columbia refit [This has never been shown on screen until now]
12 Miranda class [Likely the Reliant refit design]
13 Nebula class
14 Intrepid class [It's Voyager specifically]
15 Starbase 1 from the original movies
It's also brought back the entire TNG cast, including several "cameos" by supporting characters.
After the absolute shitshow that was the first 2 seasons these kinds of callbacks are generating a lot of positive reactions from fans, possibly in part because even a 5/10 feels significantly better than a 1/10.
I don’t have paramount but had Star Trek not worked so hard to turn off fans I would’ve. I am glad to hear the realized they pissed off many fans. All they had to do was have a new crew like 50 to 100 years after the events of Voyager/DS9 but I feel they like prequels so they can “reimagine” classic characters
Season 1 could have been good if they got rid of the stupid Picard brain disease subplot which was basically pointless. And also expanded the season or has the overall plot flow into a second season. The story was way too rushed.
PIC s1 plot: Romulans find a beacon that warns of the coming of a giant tentacled robot because synths might wipe out organics.
ME1: Humans find a Prothean beacon that warns of the coming of the Reapers, giant tentacled robots that exist to prevent synths developing too far and wiping out organics.
As a FYI the new Picard season is legitimately good and what Picard season 1 should have been.
If you pretend S1 and S2 don't exist, S3 is alright.
It genuinely feels like there’s someone trying to fix TNG all the way back to Generations. A real fan of Trek is running the show right now.

Season 3 is a shipload of fanservice.
Multiple ships worth, literally.
In order:

5 Possibly meant to be where the Defiant class is as that is also shown
6 Romulan Bird of Prey

It hadn't ripped off the plot to Mass Effect 1.
