I liked the idea of neck for the emergency separation possibilities the TNG writers were so in love with. lol
Most beautiful ships in Trek?
- Thread starter You_Guyz
- Start date
I like the Nova class (here in a TrekCore screencap from VOY: Equinox). Right: U.S.S. Voyager (mesh by Sarod)
Apollo looked like a toy; so did the LM.
It's nice, and an interesting new take on the design.
Of all the ships of Star Trek, here are the one I think is the most beautiful:
1.Enterprise: Star Trek XI
2.Enterprise Refit: Star Trek TMP-TSFS
3.Enterprise A: Star Trek TVH-TUC
4.Enterprise:TOS
5.Jellyfish: Star Trek XI
1.Enterprise: Star Trek XI
2.Enterprise Refit: Star Trek TMP-TSFS
3.Enterprise A: Star Trek TVH-TUC
4.Enterprise:TOS
5.Jellyfish: Star Trek XI
While my favorite is the new Enterprise, I must admit that I agree with your statement. Voyager was intended to be smaller than the Galaxy class ships with a smaller crew. I think the design worked. Beauty is subjective, but as far as making sense... yes, it does. Intrepid class does look as though it would be more solid. Because it is a smaller ship there is no need for the saucer to separate.no question, the intrepid class. finally a design (apart from the defiant), that makes sense.
The NX-01.
1. Enterprise Refit (A)
2. Enterprise (D)
3. Enterprise (C)
4. Excellsior (not E-B)
5. Nebula (weapons pod, not AWACS)
Honorable Mention - NX Enterprise.. just made sense.. well thought out..

Looks like a shovel.
You_Guyz - please only post images that are hosted on your own site (such as photobucket, etc.)Seriously, these Enterprise era Vulcan ships made me want to orgasm.
Whenever I was watching Enterprise, I would pray Vulcans would pop up for some contrived reason just so I could see their beautiful ring ships.
Such beauty

The Tholian ships from "Enterprise" were also pretty cool.

They remind me a little of my personal all time favourite Sci-Fi ship - the Vorlon transport from "Babylon 5".

Truth_Seeker - I just said no images from sites other than your own!!
The ones that spring to mind...
- The Excelsior; It's a wonderful design and some angles are spectacular.
- The Akira; Not all of it's angles are godly, but it is one of the most fascinating, nicer looking and fresh designs. The NX verion was nice too, but not as nice as the original.
- The Centaur; for the few minutes it was on screen, it looked amazing. A less clunky (even in the close up shots I've got on my hard drive) and sleaker design than the Miranda counterpart and one of the few kitbashes that work for me.
- Vulcan ship from First Contact; I have no idea what the name is, but it's fascinating to look at. A nice and unique design that looks incredible.
- The 'new' Enterprise; Getting a model of this ship was a wonderful gift this Christmas. So much retro and new in one shape, the only thing that pissed me off about it was tha now I have a model on my shelf - I can see so many angles that it looks incredible from - none of which were on screen!

Ok, two points:
1) The. Nacelles. Aren't. Rocket. Engines.
B) I've worked with a ton of remote-control model aircraft, and sometimes some of the more spindly looking structures can be the most efficient and reliable.
III) If your shields are down, it shouldn't matter what shape your ship is because any of your opponents armaments can blast any part of your ship apart in seconds.
^That was three points. 
Nonetheless...they're good ones.

The Abramsprise. (the only thing I don't like are the nacelles) I love how the secondary hull has a very "submarine retro scifi" look to it and the saucer pretty much looks like the refit Enterprise saucer from the earlier ST movies.
I like the refit Enterprise from the movies quite a bit too, but again, I don't like the nacelles, I always liked the TOS style nacelles better than everything that came after.
