It’s quite possibly the best looking ship ever seen on-screen.

Not to mention one of the most influential ships in the history of the Federation.

      Carpet sure comes in handy when your ship teeter totters under attack. None of that slip n sliding on glass flooring like the new shows.

    I’m a big fan of the Parliament class from Lower Decks.

    I also think the Nova class looks really cool

    Interestingly, they’re both science vessels

    Overall, I gotta say that the intrepid class is the goat. Separate the saucer? Fuck you, we’re going to land on this rock with our fucking landers without leaving a DBZ trail behind. The enterprise has ChatGPT 18.5 turbo, but you can’t fit that into the energy requirements of a ship like Voyager, so the designers of the intrepid class did a line of space coke, hit their head on the table on the way down, then got up and got ChatGPT 19 to run on roided out bundles of mouse neurons. Tired of squishy human doctors? Us too, man; here, have an EMH, never turn him off, maybe he’ll get superpowers. Or hologram dementia. Or both? Idk, he’s sassy and overpowered, you’re going to love it. Check it out, dawg, the fucking nacelles move! The bridge looks sick AF, too.

    But I also really like the Cali class ships from lower decks as a representation of what the more mundane day-job ships in the fleet are like. It’s nice to see these roles explored, and the design of the Cali class tends to reflect its role: nothing fancy, it’s practical and straightforward without being austere.

    I’ll always prefer the look of the Constitution variants, from the original up to the Sovereign. I like many other styles too, but no other ship profile is more recognizable, even by non-Trekkies.

    Enterprise E for me. I understand this is controversial. I really like the Intrepid class and I think the Runabout and Defiant are under appreciated as well.

    I wish the Enterprise-E followed this design trend, instead of the stretched out, spindlely nacelle looking like they’d snap at the first hard maneuver garbage we got instead.

    Does anyone know where everyone is getting these high resolution photos of ships that aired in the 90’s?

    How far does one have to scroll down to find the fact that only the mighty Excelsior deserves the title of most beautiful starship?

    Heathens!

      It’s up there but only the Enterprise B refit.
