    absolutely beautiful! man I wish Star Trek would do designs like this again instead of “How can we redesign the Constitution Class for the umpteenth time?”

      NCC-1701 (refit) and A are my favorite designs of all time. The original shape with the refit’s nacelle design just looks so sleek without being too over the top. I don’t like the newer ships after TNG: they look overly scifi’d.

        oh don’t get me wrong I absolutely love the refit and A. totally. I just don’t want to see them…again…on “new” stuff ala the Enterprise-G.

        And you’re right about the ships post TNG. They went from “we love exploring” to “we gotta fight the dominion and the borg and our ships need to look the part” Just give me more of the curvy yet powerful looking designs from TNG again. And I mean sure it’s not like there were many in TNG, hell the Nebula was just a Galaxy with no neck and an upsidedown stardrive but god dammit I liked it.

      I do like the JJ Abrams Enterprise. Guilty pleasure.

      The hot rod look on the front of the nacells and matching lower decks speak to design awareness. Just curvy enough without making it unrecognizable.
