Constitution Refit. I was never a fan of the Galaxy class due to its size, though it was certainly impressive in the opening titles when I went from a 19" to 27" TV and wired for stereo.

Easy choice for me. Connie refit is the best space ship design in all of cinematic sci-fi.

The Galaxy is fat and ugly.

 

[Tosk]

I love the Galaxy, (although not the four-footer in the image above) but this is no contest. Constitution refit is hard to beat.

This is definitely the hardest choice for me so far. The constitution refit is such a beautiful ship & probably my first memory of Star Trek.

I remember watching "Encounter at Farpoint" as a 9 year old & been completely blown away by the Enterprise D. The TNG was the series I grew up with so I've gone for the Galaxy.

However if the Galaxy is to be outvoted then the Refit is the ship I'd like to win the Tournament.

 

[Captain Rob]

The BEST spaceship ever to appear on the bigscreen vs the gigantic warp paddle. I wonder which one I'll choose?

 

[Hoshi3]

Hard choice. The Constitution refit is nice, but the Galaxy too. I'll just vote for the Galaxy class, simply because it has saucer separation.

 

[JariM]

As much as I like the Galaxy the Constitution refit is simply one of the most aesthetically pleasing ships in any fiction.

 

[MacLeod]

Has to be the Constitution Class once again.

 

[jpv2000]

Constitution refit. She's my favorite ship from all sci-fi.

1701-E is second, because she reminds me of the refit style.

 

[Gojira]

Constitution refit all the way!!!

 

[Praetor]

I was exposed to the Galaxy in the form of the Enterprise-D far too early as a child. Its image brings far too many fond memories. I have to vote for the Galaxy.

 

[publiusr]

I'm going for the refit. More swan-like. Galaxy is a bit more cetacean like.

 

[Praetor]

"Cetacean." Yeah, I think that fits.

 

[BillJ]

Galaxy.

 

[Kevman7987]

Constitution.

 

[R. Star]

And the Refitprise handily wins! Next contest up!
