                        Yea,the Voyager episode that featured the Prometheus was a great episode,it showed the ship in action attacking Romulan Warbirds in assault mode,it was really cool.

                        I prefer the Ambasador Class. Somewhere between the Excelsior Class and Galaxy Class.

                        Pity the model is a bit tricky to find, and a little expensive...

                        That is one of the few episodes of Voyager that I have never seen all the way through. So i have never gotten a "feel for it"....

                        I liked the refitted TMP Enterprise the best. Both TMP and Wrath of Kahn gave a personal touch to this design by first, having done a close up and personal tour of the ship from the outside in space dock and then having the characters "piped" aboard, it just looked and felt like a real ship.

                        The refit Enterprise in drydock is my hands down favorite. It's one of those designs that looks cool and functional. A close runner-up would be the Klingon Bird of Prey. Same reason.

                        I've never made that connection, but now that you mention it, I can certainly see it!
                        Any coincidence the Ferengi ship is sometimes called a Marauder, like the Draconian fighters? Hmm...

                        I've never really liked ST (SW all the way!Wink [;)]), but it's ironic that there's also a SW ship that looks very similar to this, and is called the Marauder, IIRC. It appears in some of the books and one of the SW sims that came out years ago.

                        As for my fav, it'd have to be an Eclipse-class Star Destroyer...whoops...wrong galaxy Big Smile [:D].

                        I think as technology advances and space contruction techniques improve, ships would eventually evolve to have "skins" covering all of the outer surfaces. If only for protection from hostile ships and/or environments.
                        Still TOS Defiant kicks major bootie!!!Big Smile [:D]LOL

                        The Enterprise refit or the "A" are my favorite followed by the Delta Flyer-grace and class are evident in their designs-even though a real star ship would be more like the Nostromo from Alien-you don't have to be sleek and aerodynamic to move through the vacuum of space-but you really are lookin' good.

                        Preach it, brother! Especially the K'Tinga, in my opinion.

                        A very, very close second for me is the new pattern Romulan ship from TNG. That big, glowing warbird is very cool indeed.


                        I agree!!! The Klingon D-7. Terror in space. Loved watching it in ST-TMP. Then followed up by the Enterprise in the movies and ST-TOS.

                        Yeah, that is TOO BIG a coincidence. I'm sure the vessel was influenced by the Draconia. Oh yeah, the Akira class rules as well...OH and the Excelsior class. Still not too fond of those massive impulse/shuttle bays on the refit Excelsior...Shy [8)]

I have a mirror tag with USS Enterprise and a Federation logo on front of my white and gold ford Aero Star XLT [yeah the long one]. i too now have a red jeep cherokee but I haven't decided on a tag...

                        Anyway back on subject tough chioces. I'll kill tow birds with one stone the Defiant rules both old and new. When I say old i refer to the TOS Defiant that was on Enterprise.
                        The refit E and the Sovergn [sp?] are close seconds. [JUST SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!]

                        I guess I still like the old lady: NCC 1701D Galaxy Class. She's sleek and sexy, but heavily armed without looking menacing.

                        Preach it, brother! Especially the K'Tinga, in my opinion.

                        A very, very close second for me is the new pattern Romulan ship from TNG. That big, glowing warbird is very cool indeed.


                        I have to give a thumbs up to the D-7 and K'Tinga as well. Good, solid, no-frills look to it that meant business. My second would be the Bird of Prey, followed by the Romulan design from ST: Enterprise.

                        The grand gray lady of space, the Original Enterprise. And did I see a post above that says there is a 1/350 tos enterprise coming? I know about Polar Lights refit. Is that what you are thinking of? Or IS there a TOS Enterprise on the way??

                        IMO it is definitely the Klingon Bird of Prey. Supposed to be a cross between a predatory bird and a football player (huge shoulders) it definitely portrays the feeling of hostility... Big Smile [:D] Even when decloaking the guns are the first to appear...

                        I have always liked the Dreadnaught class. I like the idea of a starship that go out and put a hurtin on things without being encumbered with the mission to explore new worlds. Nobody ever dispatched the New Jersey to explore little islands of the Pacific and make friends witht he natives.

                        Nope -- it's the smaller Polar Lights kit.
