If the D'deridex had the entire hull hole filled in (but still dual wings), and then some sort of big space guns on the sides of the former hole, between the wing sets, it would kick ass.

For me it's either the Jemmie bug or D'deridex.

TOS Klingon warship.
A Kill-O-Zap design philosophy ship.

Vejur.

Because when you must have a ship that can kill entire stellar realms, it may as well look like a dildo.

I'm actually quite a fan of the Ferengi Da'Kora class Marauder. They have the latest Phasers, Disrupters, Photon Torps and some weird EMP weapon that knocks out a ships shields. They had so much potential as pitates then the writers had to fuck up and make them spineless.

I liked the "Husnock" ship in the survivors, wonder how that would do against a borg cube or star destroyer.

It's worse than that, the Ferengi were supposed to be TNG's Klingons. They were gonna be a major power, with their own agenda not to mention resources and power that would rival the Federation's.

What actually happened was anything but. Oh well...

maybe because Gene didn`t want the Federation to have a true enemy I mean could the Feddies from TNG have stood against Kang ,Kor ,or Koloth if they had equal tech??

My choices:

1.) Annorax's weapon ship, assuming I could figure out the technobabble about "temporal equations."
2.) The Dominion dreadnaught.
3.) The Scimitar.
4.) The Valdore.

Although it bears mentioning I'd heavily mod all of these. Personally I'd like to see the Dominion dreadnaught with Admiral Janeway's armor and torpedoes. I'd send that up against anything Imperial.

IIRC, they said that after the Last Outpost, or whichever episode they first appeared in, people thought they were more amusing than intimidating, so they nixed the rival idea and made them the greedy little comic relief.

Of course, you'd think they would have created a new race to make up for it....ah well.

Actually, I am rather fond of those boomerang-shaped Son'a battlecruisers from "Star Trek Insurrection." Nitwit villians, but hot looking ship. Very alien and nasty looking.

Also like the Vulcan ships from "Enterprise;" the hula-hoop design with the warp engines is visually interesting.

I'd say the Negh'var. Just plain bad.

Klingon ships also have the neat little bonus of actually looking like military vessels, like Panzers In Space, instead of looking like impressionist sculptures flying around, like TNG Fed ships did.

The TOS ships, OTOH... oh, those were nice.

Why is it I can only recall seeing the Negh'var in one episode, "Way of the Warrior?" Were they in any other episode?

The venerable Bird of Prey has guns on each wing-tip. They're about the only ST warship I can think of which have weapons that look like weapons. The Klingons get points for that, surely.

On the other hand, I wasn't counting all the torpedo tubes which pretty much all ships have in ST. But seeings as they're nothing but a small hole in the ship where the torpedoes get flung out from, it's easy to miss them.

Agreed. It's because of TOS that we got the revamped Klingon ships, the Excelsior and Miranda, the crappy little science ship (ok, maybe not - but it did look good for what it was supposed to do).
