I find there's a certain beauty in asymmetrical ships. Which is why I love the Breen ships, they broke the symmetrical trend in virtually all the Trek ships to that date. Not to mention they're extremely deadly. :)

Only because of that drainer weapon. :dontcare: without that it was just cannonfodder like Mirandas.

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

I've been thinking of this a lot but one ship keeps coming to mind. I bet many of us have a model or picture of her somewhere and she looks great from every angle.

It's the original 1701.

I find I have difficulty narrowing down my favorite choice.

Top 5 in no specific order:

Legacy-Class

Defiant-Class

Intrepid-Class

Stargate's "Atlantis" City Ship.

Atlantis' Puddlejumpers.

I'm just not a fan of the Destiny as its fracking extraordinarily large, as I haven't seen any indication it was used to manufacture / drop spacegates or regular stargates as part of its original mission during the Ancients' expansion into the universe, pre-Wraith/pre-Replicators.

no way. Bill and ted cheated death, they know how to play guitar, and they're infinitely more cool than doctors ever can be.  :dontcare:

My ones would be (On a Top 10 List, going to below 10 would be futile really):

1) Galaxy class (ST)
2) TOS/TMP Constitution (ST)
3) Excelsior (ST)
4) Aurora class battleship (Stargate)
5) Oberth (ST)
6) Daedalus class (Stargate)
6) Discovery (2001: A Space Odyssey)
7) Moya and Tallyn (Farscape)
8) Venator Class Star Destroyer (Star Wars Ep3. and (The) Clone Wars)
9) Leonov (2010: A Space Odyssey)
10) O'Neil class battleship (Stargate)
Easy is the path to wisdom for those not blinded by themselves.

I liked most designs from Battlestar's Fleet both old and new. I was extremely fond of, what I still call her, Space Park.
