Clearly a thread about Starship Design.

Oh thank god, it was just a nightmare.
Trip is.
Because he's not dead.
He never died.

So he’d be, what…300-something years old now?

Depends how much of it is Star Trek Online ugliness... but in a way, yes, I suppose I am.
Oh, come now, they're not ALL bad designs. In fact, many of them have improved greatly since our own Donny Versiga's tenure with them.
I'll take most of them over most of DSC Season 1's 23rd century starship designs.
Indeed. The Shenzhou is one of the few in that class of ships that I liked.
The only thing I liked was the concept of the Shenzhou havin the bridge on the bottom, that was cool.
I would have preferred the otherall aesthetic being a bit more TOS, but its just a visual issue anyway
I liked the Shepard-class a lot but there wasn't much there in the Battle of the Binary Stars for me to visually enjoy.
Especially that weird repair-station catfish. I wondered if the Borg had something to do with that thing.
"Sir, I haven't able to poop since we stopped at that freaky automated repair station a month ago."
"I...didn't need to know that, Trip."

If even a couple of them had the classic round nacelles, I' would have a whole lot less to bitch about.
Bryan Fuller was dead set on doing things his way. Shame a lot of "his way" sucked.
That's a nice one too (probably because it's an upside-down Shenzhou
). I'm also a bit partial to the Engle-class (USS T'Plana-Hath). It always looked to me like a TOS-esque Defiant type (especially the front/rear views). Compact, tough and highly maneuverable. I just wish these damn ships had normal rounded nacelles. If they'd have changed just that one thing about them, had the suits done something smart for once and overruled Fuller, they would look orders of magnitude better than what was finally shown on screen. This was one major example at how "25% different" became "200% worse".
