What class ship would you want to serve aboard?

Andrew Probert's Ambassador Class or Enterprise-C.
It has the best design features of both worlds (i.e. Excelsior and Enterprise-D) and strikes me as the uncrowned queen of space.
Her sleek lines are so beautiful that if she wouldn't exist, it would be mandatory to invent her.
If I were in a spacedock lounge with fellow Starfleet officers and they'd ask me which ship I'm serving on just by looking at her would make me feel proud.

Probert's concept design for the Ambassador class really is awesome and the image featuring it in the Ships of the Line 2012 calendar is one of the best in the series.
LOL!!!
Me, I'd go for the Sovereign. Love the design, but also just as comfy as the Galaxy but a bit more modern, uprated tech and no kids wandering the corridors. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. But they have no business on a starship.
My choice for the same reasons. The Galaxy is nice and comfortable, but all that Beige and kids wandering around would get to me eventually...

I wish they had come up with this deign for the Enterprise D back when TNG started. I like this design so much better.

I have always envisioned myself as a civilian freighter captain, like in ENT's "Fortunate Son." So I'd have to say, I'd prefer one of those Y-class ECS freighters.
I would have been just happy and content if they had actually used Mr. Probert's design for the Enterprise-C.
I mean, you can really tell that this beautiful lady's father was a Galaxy and her mother an Excelsior.
In comparison the Enterprise-C we saw on screen strikes me as an unhappy, orphaned little girl. She wants her dad to be a Galaxy but seems to be uncertain whether her mom could be the TOS or TMP Enterprise.

Agree. C looks too much like the lovechild of A and D. Should have had a lot more Excelsior components per the Probert design.

I agree as well. The Enterprise C we were shown is my least favorite of the bunch.
Well, I'd expect to serve on multiple ships. A Connie / Connie refit is de rigeur, but I really kinda like the Federation DN / DN refit. At some point a Karekh would be interesting - although I'd never want such a small ship in real life. PCs are a hideous amount of work. Treknology reduces a lot of the labor aspect.
I've always liked the Chandley.
In later eras, I like the Excelsior, Akira, Defiant, and Sovereign.
If I had to pick just one, I'd go with the Fed DN, as I prefer that era anyway, and there's access to longevity enhancers that'd let me see everything later anyway.

I didn't get this until I realized that you were talking about the Abrams films, not the Mirror Universe. There you'd need to grow a goatee, or get a scar.

That was the Enterprise D. Who is to say the later Galaxy class ships didn't have different interior designs?
I have to wonder if the Probert "C" wasn't used because it was so good-looking. They might not have wanted to put a guest ship onscreen that was essentially a better-looking version of the hero ship....
Qapla! A man after my own heart!
I'll always prefer captaining the ship I got when I became promoted Captain: the IKS Haqtaj, a scientific vessel (refitted Negh'Var class; of course we kept the weaponry). Our mission is to find a substitute for a certain substance, popular in the Empire, that originates on Terra, thus making the Empire independent of Terran imports.
Our Mission's motto is: nuqDaq yuch Dapol?
I'm also the Science Officer (and the one who gets to try all the new samples
)

You are a naughty boy (that's how Andrew Probert felt about the Drex Files commenters saying the same thing).
But you obviously have good taste (that's what I'm saying but Mr. Probert would probably only agree 50%)

It would only be good form for Probert to be modest about the situation.
