In most cases - both in the classic series and the revival - it’s been the former. A notable exception is Colin Baker, who was fired. It seems as though people are tending toward the Troughton Plan™, leaving after three series; Peter Davison explicitly said he only did three series upon the recommendation of…

That would be an interesting movie. Earth sees aliens land on Mars and starts extracting resources, then moves over to Mercury.

but the drama would be that “someone is building something on Mars and it ain’t us” and it will take time (a full season) to build a craft to check it out, meanwhile odd things keep happening on earth...

Are you sure this isn’t just a line of toys?

There’s just something odd about this fuss over the ship of a character whose very job is hunting, capturing and dragging off people against their will.

The D is ugly, but the Kelvin Enterprise is damned horrid. Those fat nacelles are the worst.

Umm, no. The NCC-1701D is an ugly pig of a starship. The proportions are all wrong. The warp nacelles should be the small height as the primary hull, the primary hull should be round, not oval, and the primary hull and engine nacelles should be in balance, like the original and the NCC-1701A.
