So what do you guys think the ugliest Trek ship is? I vote the Yeager Class, just look at this piece of poo poo: I'm surprised the higher ups in the studio didn't laugh so hard they cried looking at it saying "What the gently caress is that?"

Not wanting to go into the stranger ones like the Steamrunner, my person least-favorite is the Ambassador Class.  Somehow it takes the majestic-looking Galaxy class lines and... fails. If the Enterprise-D was a swan, this thing is a goose. It's hard to explain what it is that gets to me about this. Maybe it's because the saucer is too blunt, and it feels like a solid slab of marble. Maybe it's the cartoonish nacelles. Maybe it's the deflector dish that looks a bit too much like a backlit plastic lid. It's just so cheesy, and yet eerily close to the Galaxy class which, personally, I love.

I love how the line of the neck continues with the deflector dish. I agree that the pylons are a weak point, though.

That's sort of the point, though. The Ambassador is the predecessor class to the Galaxy, and it has a lot of callbacks to Excelsior as part of the continuum of ship design. It looks a bit doofy because it is stuck between two nice-looking ships with very different personalities.

This design would make more sense if it were the USS Voyager, a "real-life" kitbash of Starfleet and Maquis technology necessitated by the damage each ship sustained while fighting the Kazon.

SombreroAgnew posted:I can only imagine that getting the gently caress away from this is one of Starfleet's main benefits. The problem is, you can't get away from it. You're just trying to catch up with a friend from back in Starfleet with a quick holochat, and the game invites keep pouring in. Everyone on the Federation social networks and their pet targ seem to want you to play Dilithium Miner, or download such-and-such HoloPet to scurry around your holosuite. Plus your sister keeps deluging you with holovids of her kid in the sonic bath. And every time a message pops up, your game automatically ALT+TABs and you are greeted with an invitation to play Andorian Ice Bloxx with Harry Kim. vuk83 posted:Ambassador is beautiful.

I too like the Ambassador. In particular I prefer the rounded secondary hull to the squat oval one on the Galaxy. Also, I never much liked the rings in the Galaxy's deflector dish. The Ambassador's looks much better to my eye.

I always thought that the Nebula class was just a Galaxy-class-sized Miranda. Big, fat, squat, and ungraceful, overstuffed due to its size and gauche in its exaggeration of all the aspects that made the Miranda-class sturdy and comfortable. Literally the House Hufflepuff of Federation starships.

Brawnfire posted:Still my favorite ship: I didn't like the extra pew pew phasers on the side of the bridge, or that super phaser under the saucer section. What the hell are the phaser arrays used for then? That being said, I like the idea of an upgraded Enterprise D. I mean the E is cool and all, but if the series ended there it would have been perfect.

Nero's Matrix Squid Robot Ship is the ugliest Trek ship. Spock's tiny speedster was pretty great though. The Breen Battle Cruiser is the best looking ship.

The downward facing nacelles gives is a much smaller feel, like it's just a few steps bigger than a runabout. They're set way too far on the pylons, though, and the perpendicular connection looks icky.

Also, there's a huge LED billboard (like in Times Square) for something called "Simusex" so obviously we know what that is Sash! fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Dec 3, 2013 |

To be fair, those are STO ships that have been deliberately put together hideously. And even they admit the old stuff is lacking and was very rushed. Still let's just not talk about the Jupiter Class. Brawnfire posted:Then, unfortunately, I believe it suffers from being a transitional design. I can see echoes but it lacks a certain edge of its own... something that says "ambassador class." Just one man's masturbatory fictional starship opinion. Probert originally had a different transitional design, but it was impossible to build in the timeframe. Someone's made renders of it:

LeafyOrb posted:So I've been playing FTL recently and it made me realize how much I desperately want a larger scale Star Trek themed version of that game with sims-like life simulation. It'd be hard to figure out how the multiple decks thing would work, but it'd be great. This is what Star Command was supposed to be before it ran into funding issues. A game about travelling to the stars, exploring, allowing players to find diplomatic solutions, running into weird alien poo poo, etc. I've got it on my phone. Right now it's just an okay ship to ship battlegame, but the makers are hoping to take the game back to its original concept by the time it gets a PC release. Aside, I'm a huge fan of the ships designs.

I never really liked the Wells class. It's not so much that that it looks bad, it just doesn't look like anything else. It looks like it should be some alien of the week's ship rather than a future federation ship. For all the complaints about the Enterprise-J it at least has the saucer section and nacelles that make it recognisable as an Enterprise/Federation ship.

1st AD posted:Oh yeah don't get me started; she started off with a very harsh look and each year they made her more and more feminine until in season 7 she's got long-ish hair and a Bajoran catsuit. I know this is post necromancy but Kira's hair in the pilot is longer than her hair in season 7. This is just factually wrong. The "catsuit" is just her season 1 uniform with the lower tunic sorta thing front extension removed. And for most of season 7 she wears a Starfleet command uniform which is the standard jacket over turtleneck deal. Nana Visitor was actually close to her shortest hair over the run of the show (only surpassed in shortness by the season 2 "bulldyke" cut) when she first played Intendent Kira in Season 5.  Why complain about her uniform when they put her in an evening dress plenty of times anyway?
