I dunno I always liked them since I seen it, and I'm not a fan of TMP ships or most quad nacelle ships, this one just seems right when ever I look at it

He'll find in star-clustered reaches

His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

Moving away...

Does anyone really like or really dislike the Excelsior? I've always just kinda thought 'meh'. :idk:

I love her, but if there was one thing I didn't like, it would be the neck.  Is there a good explanation for those ridges?  Also, it looks a bit thin to me from the side, which is weird since it's not.

I love the deflector/engineering hull from the front but hate the underside of the saucer

Lovin the Excelsior Class!

What about the underside of the saucer bothers you?

The only thing that bugs me about it is the shuttlebay in that big opening in the rear of the engineering hull. The most logical place, in my opinion is the tail between the nacelles, but it's in that big opening. Maybe that's an okay place to put it, but why not close off that whole section?  :coffee:

I'd have to say Galen's "Vers. 1.0" of the Legacy-Class.

The color scheme w/ the turquoise bugs me, come to think of it so do the nacelle pylons

To me the standard Excelsior is the perfect starship design. Looks good from every angle and is well balanced.

I'm indifferent to the Excelsior now. I used to like it but it's been way overused.

How so?
Look at about 50 episodes of TNG, DS9, and about 10 episodes of Voyager to find your answer... :dontcare:

Not really, it was in 13 TNG, nearly every DS9, and only 2 Voy.

It was in more I'm positive. Either way I think it's been overused but to each his own.
