Attractive? As in sexually attractive?

I never thought I'd see so perverse a question...

I like the Sovereign Class. I think it was good lines like a warship should.

None of the ships in Trek are even REMOTELY sexually attractive. If you mean the one that looks the coolest, I have to go with the Sovereign, followed by the Akira and the Defiant. I also, actually, like the Excelsior and the New Orleans. They look pretty cool, too.

Mirranda (aka Reliant, damn you TNG).

Other honerable mentions :
Akira
K'tinga (or even the TOS klingon cruiser).
TOS Romulan Bird of Prey (would love to see a TMP era version)
There is no problem to dificult for a signifigantly large enough quantity of C-4 to handle.

I'm not really a TrekFan but I think the coolest-looking ship is Romulan's D'deridex-Class Warbird.

I left out the Steamrunner because it's ugly!!! (plus I'm biased against them from Star Trek Armada- they're too slow and have a poor firing rate on that game.)

Functional, sleek, and practical, from a time when Starfleet actually believed in democracy and warships

Image

Large and in charge. Still powerful in the 24 century, especially compared to the new pussy ships Starfleet has.

Image

Capable against the Enterprise; a nice compact ship providing useful firepower and twice the phototorp launches of the larger Constitution. Still useful against Starfleet's pussy ships of the 24 century.


Image

The end of a line. The transition from when Starfleet ships turned from being capable warships that looked neat from pussy ships with low wattage weapons and an attempt to maximize the B&B "cool" factor.

Image

Now we get into the B&B era. Sure, it looks sleek, but this shape will usher in the "Braun" pussy era.

And then we have these ships.....

And speaking of that last pic, now we have this abomination now polluting the pre TOS timeline!

USS Defiant, the only real exception to the modern trend of Starfleet pussy ships, though they may have gone overboard on the aft end, and still gave it a pussy (perhaps phallic?) look on the front.

I wish I could choose both the Constitution and Soverign...............While the soverign's interior is exquisite, the Constitution Refit (Enterprise-A ((ST: VI TUC))) is absolutely gorgeous in my opinion.

Star Destroyers are okay. But nothing in sci fi can match the majesty of the E-A.

I say Constitution Class.

This is very much like picking the least ugly of the ugly ducklings...

Overall best ship in Star Trek is IMO the Wells class (USS Relativity) followed by the Promethius. While most of the alien ship designs are half decent, the Starfleet stuff is almost universally ugly.

To be honest, I thought it looked like an oversized turkey.

As for my favorite, it would have to be the 2280s-refit Constitution. Sleek, clean lines, and it actually looks like a spacefaring vessel, not a balsa wood model :D

The worst? A tie between the Galaxy and Intrepid (no offense intended for fans of either ship). While the Galaxy may look sleek from the side, from the bottom it looks like any designer's nightmare. AFAIK, the saucer is just too damned wide.

The Intrepid looks a little better, but not much. When I first saw an image of it (Paramount's "beauty shot"), my brain immediately was reminded of a toilet or a spoon. It probably looks best from an upper rear angle.

Although I hate StarTrek Voyager, I always liked the Intrepid class, followed very closely by the Excelcior. In third place would be a Consitution class refit.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

The Constellation class Like the Stargazer and the Hathaway are my favorite. I Just think they look cool, kinda like a trek Muscle Car. ;)
