I think we can excuse the main settings of the shows 

[Lionus]

Uh huh, how about the umpteen Galaxys in DS9? If memory serves, only six were built? one destroyed by JemHadar, one blown up by that virus.. that leaves four.

[Nebula]

there were more than 6 Galaxy's ever built... more like 20....

The Enterprise was one of the first 4 built.

If I remember correctly it was originally six built and six additional space frames that could be "filled out" if needed, which obviously happened in the Dominion War. And this wasn't even established in canon, I think it was from a tech manual. Either way who cares!? In my opinion the Excelsior was overused what is wrong with me having that opinion? The Galaxy (excluding the regular Ent-D appearances) wasn't seen as often as the Excelsior anyways.

I forgot to mention the Xenon-Class as one of my favorites.

One thing I would like to point out is I never seen a bad angle of the Galaxy class, everyother ship has bad viewing angles, don't get me wrong lots of ST ships are interesting and/or pretty to look at, but the galaxy class looks good no matter how you look at it. Its just a good looking ship period

[mckinneyc]

I have to disagree, she is top heavy which makes certain viewing angles strange. She looks best from below either looking aft or forward.

[Morgan]

For me it depends on which version of the Galaxy-class I'm looking at. The four-foot models has one or two bad angles but I haven't really seen one on the six-footer (or the CGI's used on DS9/VOY/ENT that are based on the six-footer).

I can't tell the difference...

[Morgan]

I can't tell the difference...

The top image is the six-foot model, the bottom is the four-foot. The biggest differences are the deflector, and if you go to Memory Alpha or just google up some aft images there are some differences in the impulse engine on the stardrive. There's a lot of smaller differences too but I believe those are the two big ones.

ya same here...  i never bothered comparing and nitpicking the two, and unless someone pointed out the exact differences, id prolly not take notice...

[Psyco Diver]

I can see the difference and I have to agree the 5 footer looks better all together

[Nebula]

I can see the difference and I have to agree the 6 footer looks better all together

fixed ;) they never made a 5 footer lol *runs*

I like em both actually... the 4 footer looks good (I like the bulkiness of the 4 foot it seems stronger) and would be even better with 6 foot detail.

(that's why I like DJ's Galaxy)

[TheConstable6]

I like the 4ft better.

[Lionus]

Is it just me or does the other one have thicker saucer edge? 

[Nebula]

Is it just me or does the other one have thicker saucer edge? 

yeah the 4 foot model has wider sensor pallets so it makes the edges thicker.

[Toa_Kaita]

I prefer the 6 foot model. It looks smoother.

[Psyco Diver]

the deflector and engineering section on the 4fter look more narrow than the 6 fter
