My friends and I recently challenged each other to list our top five starship classes and were surprised by how different our opinions were despite being generally in agreement with what we like about the various series.
Personally it was hard for me to make a definitive “top five” but here are some I rank highly in no particular order:
- TOS-era constitution
- Refit constitution
- Discovery-era Bird of Prey (OG is good too obv but I love the HR Geiger-esque weirdness)
- D’Kora class Ferengi ship
Not canon, butI love the original “Long-boi” Discovery design. It gives off some very cool art-deco retro-futurism vibes. Not very classically “trek” but I love it nonetheless!
I am curious to see what c/StarTrek thinks!
I’ve flip-flopped a lot over the years about which are my favourites, some runners up include Defiant, Excelsior, Danube, NX Refit and Intrepid.
Soverign is really good, I remember thinking how cool it looked the first time we see it in First Contact.
