What was the best Starfleet Ship Design ?

For shape the ent-E but going a bit too wild on the max power stickers lets it down.

As a whole Excelsior.
 
  1. The Sovereign class
  2. The Intrepid class
  3. The Akira class
  4. The Galaxy class
  5. The Defiant class
  6. The Ambassador class
  7. The Nebula
  8. The NX class (Earth's Starfleet)
  9. The USS Centaur (Centaur class? No class name given.)
  10. The Nova class
 
I really liked the Ambassador Class ships. They had the right balance between Constitution and Galaxy. They, also, didn't look quite as bloated as the Galaxy Class did.
I didn't like the Miranda Class at all.
 
The original NCC-1701 from TOS is the only starship design seen on-screen that actually looks like it was designed by someone in the military.

Utilitarian and beautiful because of it.

Every other ship design in Trek looks like a design exercise, not a functional piece of military hardware.
 
I am currently engaged in a debate between the Constitution and the Constitution refit. I think both designs kick complete ass even though I'm not a huge fan of the refit's nacelles.

I'm going to have to go with both of them equally for the moment.
 
I like the Cheyenne, New Orleans, Galaxy, AKira, Relativity, and fake Dauntless classes, but my all time favorite is the one that has the best aspects of all Starfleet ships, the Ambassador Class!!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There's a lot of people who think the Galaxy is an abomination. I can see where the Ent-A would have the nostalgic value as well. I know my picks aren't a popular opinion either but there's nothing "wrong" with us for picking them.

Some would ask the same of you.

Don't you understand? the world revolves around ME and what I like!
Everyone must be like me or their opinions are not legit;)
 
The best top 5 ship designs are as follows:

1) The Sabre Class.

2) The Centaur Class.

3) The Nova Class.

4) The Sovereign Class.

5) The Akira Class.
 
Favourite ship design for me is the Akira class.

Also really like the Norway, Steamrunner, Nebula, New Orleans, Chaffee type shuttlecraft/pod.
 
IMHO, the best is still the original 1701 from the series. After that, I'd say the movie era Constitution-class, Sovereign-class, and the Miranda-class. -- RR
 
Beauty: Constitution refit
Brawn: Defiant class
Utility: Intrepid class
Bare-Bones Badness: Constellation class
 
The Enterprise 1701 from the original series remains the best.

My second favorite is the Enterprise-C, the Ambassador Class vessel first seen in Yesterday's Enterprise.
