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.

    Love me a Miranda or Nebula class. I just think they should go faster than they do because double the nacelles

    Are you thinking Constellation or Cheyenne class?

    Miranda had 2 nacelles, EG., USS Reliant.
    Picard's Stargazer was Constellation class.

    Nebula class are dang cool, but they had 2 nacelles. Phoenix had a circular AWACS-looking sensor pod mounted above the saucer, and Sutherland had a triangular weapons platform.

    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.

    I loved the aesthetics of those films. The ship, the uniforms, and the Klingons. And Chris Pine clearly loves the role.
