I still like the 1701-E.
Am I the only one who dislikes the Enterprise-E?

The Enterprise E is one of the ugliest Federation ships I've ever seen. For me it would make a Top 3 list of ugly Federation ships. Everythying about it is ugly, even to the interior design.
The Power of Suggestion!!!
As soon as I read your Post, Friend Martok, I immediately flashed on the sight of my Star Trek ornaments on the Christmas Tree, and realized that your description of the "E", above, is spot on!
Even in thing We do not prefer, Star Trek is everywhere!
Ah, that explain why it has phasers and torpedoes, as oppose to ships that weren't designed to fight the Borg ... which have phasers and torpedoes.
But, didn't most Star Fleet vessels - save transports, science ships, cargo ships, and the like - have phasers and torpedoes?
That's the first word that comes to mind when I look at the Enterprise-E: "over-designed." Too much styling for the sake of styling. Too many fiddly details. Also, it's too flat -- it looks as if it's been stepped on.
Or, maybe, finally crushed by Anonais's hand in, "Who Mourns For Adonais?"
IMHO, lots to like in "First Contact", but not the design of the E.
Still, it is the Enterprise!
Hmmm..."Main Engineering", "Nacelles", "Saucer Section"...
...can't find a "butt"...
And, before you tell me to "...go look in a mirror!", I am just kidding, Kronos!!!
Well, you just need to consider the entire thing as a hole...erm... I mean whole
What in my opinion was a shame was that they change the E-E a little bit in every movie.
Ditto this (except I was 23 when FC came out.)
I can't stand the bridge or engineering sets, though that may have been due more to how scenes were filmed. I never really got a sense of just what these rooms were supposed to look like. They were too big with too many things going on.
The exterior took me a while to warm up to. I think it looks great in "First Contact" where it was still a physical model. That whole Borg battle just looks gorgeous. But I think the design is too great a departure from the Ent-D. Though I suppose the same could be said about the transition from Ent-A to the Excelsior-class B.

While the Galaxy Class, I think, is gorgeous, I still love the Sovereign.
I'm surprised so many here dislike it [although, collectively this forum hates everything
]. The Sovereign is like a modern Excelsior, it is sleek and 'modern' looking. It fits the design ethos of the Intrepid/Akira/Norway/Defiant etc.
Also, I prefer the neckless design of the Sovereign/Intrepid, to me it just makes more structural sense and gives a greater sense of continuity to the overall design.

I still say the bridge being one level made it seem cramped, even though it was a larger diameter than any bridge before or since. Also, the raised rails on the floor are a major trip hazard.
She does look a little too... stretchy. And I thought the Vengence in "Into Darkness" looked a lot like the E...
