ok, besides the enterprise what ship do you like the STAR TREK universe.
mine is akira( i think that is the name) it was in first contact
In the Absense of Light, the Darkness Prevails.

DEFIANT. Pew, pew. Tough little ship. Design work shows that a Trek ship can depart from the two body, pylons and nacelled look. Perfect for DS9. Worf slept there.

cool topic. Oh yeah that akira class rocks! Defiant is a solid choice as well...good for ass-kicking.

I've always been partial to the insanely long-serving Miranda class and it's chubby offspring(?), the Nebula class. Here they are flying together (along with a sad little oberth :'(). I kinda see the Akira as a natural design progression from Miranda and Nebula.

i like the USS Defiant, and you are right chris, i would love to see a enterprise size defiant, a single body starship. i wish i understood the idea for the way the original enterprise was designed. i like it, but  i can see the single part body as being a lil better, but hey i don't kknow what was told to the designers for the show.

For some reason I always liked the tug that was featured in the original tech manual. I always thought it's be cool to do a show on one of these. Kind of a different take on the universe, we always look at things from the angle of the best of the best of Starfleet (though DS9 might be a bit of an exception). Why not have a show that looks at the small crew of a utility vessel like this.

I personally like the Prometheus class experimental ship (voyager, "message in a bottle") episode because I think the concept of having a ship that splits into three smaller warp capable ships and forms its own assault force is nifty. I want one:)

billybob, I would take a show based on any type of ship. Voyager wasn't that big and it was a good show.

Does fan fiction count here?
Take a look at the aurora, an old battle cruiser from the Romulan war turned into a merchant ship.

There's also a freighter in this fan film. It looks like a big space tug.

oh yeah, regarding 'drex files' stamp on the akira pic... I hope he puts his blog back up some day :(

Yeah, I really like that ship too...even if it is a little fanboyish. It does take the saucer sep to the next level.

Yeah, I love Drex fies...he has a couple youtube vids that are pretty cool. That ship is along the lines of what I always figured a pre-1701 ship would look like.

I have always been a fan of the Klingon Battle Cruisers

I always really liked the Reliant, but also even though I think we only saw it the once in Voyager the Prometheus. (Kind of a hard pick here, also really love the Klingon Bird of Prey.)

Personally a fan of the Sovereign class. The sleek design makes it one of my favorites. I was ecstatic when I got to command the USS Sovereign in the old Bridge Commander game for PC many years back. One of my favorite Star Trek games too, I should consider giving it another look now that I've got a PC powerful enough to handle it...

Yeah the Sovereign class is a sexy ship. Nice middle ground in size between the constitution class and the galaxy.

For non-starfleet, I gotta go with the BoP. Especially some prototype fire-while-cloaked goodness ;)
