The D was my least favorite design and I do agree that the E was a step toward retuning to aspects of the original design. Too bad it doesn't have a neck then it would have looked perfect.
What is the ugliest ship in starfleet?

agreed thats one ugly baby.
Yeager is growing on me.
what about that "Raging Queen" thing
ohh and those shuttles in TNG looked like giant door stops
I thought Miranda had Excelsior-like nacelles and schemes....
The Reliant is Miranda class. Built using tmp style parts.

Fleet Admiral
The refit Galaxy-class from "All Good Things..." is quite the eyesore these days.
To chime in on the loaded woeful topic of "worst Enterprise"... after receiving my SOTL2012 and seeing the miracles worked on the Ambassador in there, I have to bump down the Galaxy some more.
I've always been more of a fan of the long/sleek approach of ships, making the Sovereign and the Excelsior reign supreme on my list, followed closely by the "new" Ambassador, the Connie Refit, and, yes, the Abramsprise.
Though for what it's worth, I'll take a thousand Galaxy classes over the Akirapr-- the NX-01.
My personal vote for ugliest starfleet ship? The Yeager is a strong contender, but to shy away from kitbashes - I'm very much not sold on the Norway. It feels like such a composite of major deviations from Starfleet aesthetics; shape (especially beyond the saucer), color, nacelles; a cascade of aspects that merge into something rubbing me very wrong.

One of the more ridiculous examples of scale-mixing was the conversion of the very pretty Executive Shuttle into the U.S.S. Jenolin by sticking on a pair of AMT Enterprise Refit nacelles along with some windows and greeblies.
It’s like trying to make a sleek Italian yacht look like the Queen Mary by plastering it with tiny portholes and putting three funnels on top.
Oh, and they should have fired the guy who got his filthy fingerprints all over the Jenolin model. I mean really, is that supposed to be “weathering”?
Come on, highlighter pen nacelles! And four of them! Awesome, right? Right?!
Nothing wrong with using highlighter pens for nacelles. Right, Forbin?Come on, highlighter pen nacelles! And four of them! Awesome, right? Right?!
Have to categorize them I think.
Of the main/hero ships I think my least favorite is Voyager, I just always see an upside down spoon. I liked the original, more angular looking version much better.
Of the secondary ships (like Constellation, Nebula, etc) my least favorite is probably the Nebula. It has no sense of directionality to it. That's no doubt why they changed the mission module to an arrow-shape, to indicate "this way forwards".
Of the 3rd level ships, little seen, or kitbashes, the Yeager is pretty poor. Some of the Wolf-359 ships can be discounted as you can barely even see them on screen, they might as well have used some pieces of cardboard cut-out for most of the ones in the distance, would have saved the trouble.
As for my favorites.
Main ships. Enterprise-A, just lovely, perfect refinement of the original.
Secondary. Excelsior, has some really lovely long lines, and from the front looks very menacing, since it was an "adversary" ship in STIII this is perfect. Enterprise-C would be a close 2nd, have always liked the looks of it, and it looks good from multiple angles, well balanced.
Third. As far as the little seen or kitbashes, the Centaur type has nice lines, has much less of a jumble of parts type of feel to it.

Well, this is a hard question for me. I really like most designs (The Nebula class and Freedom classes are tied as my favorite class) but I think I'll have to say that I've never been a huge fan of the DS9 Constitution variant. I don't know what it is, really. It's not because its imbalanced, I like the freedom Class and its similar to this. I think that the Constitution class parts and 2 warp nacelles just don't go well together.
^^^ I believe that's the USS Jupp.
hey guys,
a friend and i got into a descussion about what starship was the least appealing and i thought i'd get you to give your opinions
