I also think it might have been fun as a time ranger of the 29th century. I'd be going back and farking with cavemen in my spare time. Who needs a holodeck when there's time travel. Who cares about the rapture when there's native girls to capture; there's a party at the end of the world!

ST6, the Excelsior has always been my favorite class. That and I love the freedom that they had to make choices on their own without starfleet bugging up everything.

I'd have to go with 29th-31st century time ships.

It would be exciting to be in the DS9 era and go to war. But living in exciting times is not always as fun as it looks.

So maybe I should pick the time period between ST VI and Next Generation. Relative peace in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Not having to worry too much about dying.

TOS, the original series era. But I'd like to poke around on a Miranda, lots of potential for interesting things to happen while unrestrained by the latter era's instant coms.

Late Movie era for me too; Exclesiors coming out of the shipyards, and the chance to be assigned to a Miranda when they where a viable ship instead of a good looking coffin. I always thought of it as the the time where the Federation starts to pull ahead of the Major Power pack, and starts the journey to become the rather complacent top dog of early TNG.
I also agree about the uniforms, and I prefer the Nicholas Meyer vision of Starfleet to Gene Roddenberry's.
Christian Slater. When he did that role as the Ensign it was a cameo, nowadays that would be a good gig for him.....

Post Nemesis Era. Flying around in a state of the art ship would be cool.

Dude I love the uniforms from ST6! They were the best looking ones yet! I like how they fixed up the trim on them and made then a lot more rough looking!

I liked the WWII RAF mechanics' sweaters from ST6.

Oh, wait... those were from WWII RAF mechanics.

And the officers duty uniforms. It was the best era for clothing in ST.

Those are just standard combat sweaters. Common to Commonwealth Armies the world over. I wore one in the Canadian Army.
