Which Starship Class would you most like to serve on (or which do you think is the coolest starship design)?

I'd like to serve on a Galaxy-class. So many resources and so much to do.

And I think the Akira is just about the coolest ship design at the moment. I do like the Defiant, though. :)

Other - Intrepid Class

Small, Tough, Maneuverable, Tight Crew (better opportunities rather than multiple specialists that a Galaxy would have), and looks like it has pretty much all the advantages of a Galaxy without being a target...

+ planetfall capability...

Akira. In a dangerous galaxy, you bring all the quantum torpedoes you can with you... :D

And she just looks cool.

Galaxy gets an honourable mention for the space and resources.

23^rd century - Constitution (uprated) Class Heavy Cruiser
24^th century - Intrepid Class Cruiser

Class I would run away from screaming "You'll never take me alive!" - Galaxy Class Deathtrap. Ugly, ugly, ugly!

Nova class, small crew, almost complete guarantee of not being in the front lines, compared to other ships your job is primarily to sit and smell the roses...

And she's a beautiful class...

You coward!

:D

Constitution all the way. I'm a 23rd century boy....

Saber Class seems to be a good one.

The ship is small enough that you have to stand on your own merits, and its hard for a bad leader to play their normal tactics. Its also a way to get early bridge experience, as the ranks tend to be lower than the larger vessels.

Plus the ship generally has defined mission parameters (patrol and defense primarily), but its not sent to every hot spot in the Federation like a Defiant would be.

The next choice would be an Excelsior, how could you not want to serve on a piece of living history?

Voted other. Intrepid all the way.

Serve on a piece of living history: Constitution

Wallow in sybaritic indulgence: Nebula or Sovereign

Save civilization from a new dark age made more protracted by the lights of perverted science, be part of a really tight-knit little crew, serve right up there at the point of the spear: Defiant

Oberth-class, all the way.

Give me the exploration, the science, the true mission of Starfleet :)

I'll leave the combat-heavy missions for those who want to blow things up ;)

Constitution, Movie era, Beeeaauuuu-ti-ful.:D

Besides, I'm an old fashioned kinda' guy.:D

Constitution (any), I am a sucker for the traditional. As long as Captain "Oops I got another Ensign Killed" Kirk is not in command.

"There must be 50 Ways to Kill and Ensign" starts up slowly in the background..

Tough choice.I like the smaller ships such as the Defiant and Saber-they are just cool.Had to go with the Sovereign ,though.

"One ship task force".There might be faster ships like the intrepid or combat-oriented ships like the Defiant of Akira,but the Sovvy is IMHO a bigger,more powerful Constitution class that can do any kind of mission.Loved watching her in combat in the movies.She's pretty much packing state of the art everything.

Honorable mention:NX-Class.Love the look of that ship.Much closer to the look of Naval ships I was aboard in my days as a civillian contractor to the USN.
