Best Starship class

I mean aesthetically not tactically, which are you most drawn to? At one point I would have said the Excelsior Class (Ent B Style) but im becoming increasingly drawn to the galaxy class.

Thoughts?
 
The original Constitution class is my favorite, although I also find both the refit and the Excelsior class to be very sharp looking as well.

Of the hero ships the Galaxy class is the one I dislike the most (I refuse to acknowledge the JJprise). I don't hate the Galaxy, just don't care for very much, too oversized and bloated looking.

Of the non-hero ships I'd go with the K'tinga class.
 
I love the USS Kelvin. A totally awesome ship. And the nuConstitution class. None of the frailty of the TOS and TMP Enterprises. 'Tis a monster!

After those, the Nemesis version of the Enterprise-E, with the slightly-raised nacelles. And the Excelsior-class, it's it's original form (not the VOY "Flashback"/DS9 versions with the slimmer engineering hull and glowing nacelles)
 
I love the original Constitution class, the refit and the Galaxy. I also like the Excelsior class quite a bit as well. The Sovereign class has grown on me but it would look a lot better with a neck between the primary and secondary hulls. I would probably like the JJ-prise a lot more but the problems with it's scale and it's awful interior really bug the hell out of me.

I have to say I've always liked the aggressive no nonsense look of the Prometheus class.
 
I agree with the Excelsior

For the 24th century ships, I like the Nova Class. I think it looks better than the Sovereign Class.
 
Enterprise E for me, particularly in its first two appearances, such a looker!

Also shout out to the new movie Enterprise (and some of the other fleet you briefly saw jumping to warp too, but NOT the Kelvin, man that thing was ugly, can't take non-symmetrical designs and the damn thing look like it was flying upside down!),
the Defiant and the Prometheus!

And when First Contact came out I was disappointed to see the Akira become the fan favourite ship as I had my eye on the Steamrunner during that battle, something about it I really liked.

Sadly you never saw much of it again because, as I said the Akira became the fan favourite ship and the producers of the other series latched onto this and featured it more heavily!

Not unpopular with me. I love the Galaxy class, though they're a little wide-looking when viewed head on.
