Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
Haven't seen a topic like this in a while...
What class of ship do you think is the most aesthetically pleasing design? It doesn't have to be a practical design, or even a realistic one, just the one that looks the best.
For me, Refit Constitution is just beautiful all around. I'd say Miranda and Soverign classes round out my podium.
As far as alien ships, there's something I love about the K'Tinga Class (with full hull art) above any other design. I also thought the Norexan-class Warbird was the nicest of the Post-TNG era ships.

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
First place has to be the Connie, with the Sov and Negh'var filling out the top three.

Constitution-class. Original or refit.

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
For me it is the Excelsior. Has a nice, sleek look for a big ship. And from certain angles, the Akira and Intrepid are very close for the top spot.
For non-Federation ships, it would be the Vor'cha.

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
I'm going to second the Excelsior for Fed ships. For non-Fed ships, I will probably be in a minority of one but I'm going to say the Ferengi D'Kora.

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
Hmm... I might like some of Klingon ships better, but now that I ponder it? I honestly can't think of any other non-Fed ship I'd rate above it.Mikey wrote:I'm going to second the Excelsior for Fed ships.

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
I have a lot of love for the Ambassador, I don't know exactly why, just I always have. I also like the Miranda and Excelsior.
For non-Federation ships, the Vor'Cha, Galor, and D'Kora are my top three.

I'm gonna go crazy and say the K'T'Inga.

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
Definitely a tie between the Galaxy class (it WAS my first actual toy from the Star Trek franchise), the Sovereign and the refit Connie. If I HAD to pick between those 3, it'd be the Sovereign. Hands down.

The original Romulan Bird of Prey, because it has a bird decal on it.

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
I really like the Nova, kinda the modern look with a few odd lines in there.
Never liked the Connie as it looks unbalanced. The Galaxy is but ugly as well.

What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
I'd have to say the Norexan. Even though they didn't amount to much and were in a movie I didn't care for, the look just somehow says "predator".

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Ship
Well, I discoveed Star Trek with First Contact so I will always be in love with Sovereign class.
BUT I really like Nebula, Akira, NX, Vor'Cha and Valdore/Mogai/Norexan class.

You've been saying that for the past decade.Teaos wrote:Never liked the Connie as it looks unbalanced.
I'll say the same thing I have for the past decade - the refit-Connie is the most beautiful ship in sci-fi.
