To be fair though, since all we see on screen of the Enterprise J was a schematic on a monitor screen, all they felt the need to do was just take the NX-01 and stretch it out.

Even as a schematic it was ugly. There is a whole story behind the design, including how it was a mating between the NX-01 and a never-before-seen unused design that had to be done "quick and dirty" due to time constraints. Designer Doug Drexler went back and refined the design afterward, creating different angles and even making a homemade animation of what the ship would look like in flight, but it still looks like an awkward pizza cutter.
I'm not listing 10 but this ship kicks butt. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...n.com%2Fstar-trek-starship-uss.html;1680;1050 I also like the Phobos class and the Copernicus from "Blood and Fire".

My 10 favorite classes (in no particular order): Akira Wells (USS Relativity) Saber Defiant NX (with Drexler's secondary hull) Klingon Negh'var Excelsior Constitution (any version) Alternate Galaxy with three nacelles (All Good Things...) Romulan Mogai (IRW Valdore)
I only have eight: 8. TOS Romulan Bird of Prey 7. Reboot Enterprise 6. Klingon Bird of Prey 5. TMP Klingon Cruiser 4. Reliant 3. Enterprise E 2. Second Pilot TOS Enterprise 1. TMP Enterprise
In no particular order, especially as the top 3 which are my top 3 Enterprise designs change around often and sometimes I just dont like them. USS Enterprise (ST/ITD) USS Enterprise (TOS) USS Enterprise (TMP) Klingon Bird of Prey (ST3) Klingon Ktinga Class (TMP) Starfleet Shuttle (ITD) Starfleet Shuttle (TFF - one of the best parts of the movie) USS Enterprise-C (Andrew Probert/Tobias Richter version - a what could have been design) USS Reliant (WOK) The "Mudd Incident" Shuttle (ITD)
