Which Enterprise is Best?

What the question said. In this context I mean "best design" from an aesthetic perspective, not an engineering perspective. Form over function, here; good looks over efficiency and performance.

I see you refuse to recognise the NX01 Enterprise?

I vote E-A

Of course!

Anyone willing to vote for that horrible junk deserves to be fed to the Borg.

Poll options expanded to show every Enterprise.

Enterprise-A. She's still the queen of space to me.

I've always been partial to the original Matt Jefferies design of the E-Nil, but I have to admit E-A looks better. E-E is an awfully pretty ship, too.

B looks good, as do all the Excelsiors. C and D both look like pigs. J looks almost abstract--not ugly, but not very much like a spaceship, either. Future D is just plain horrendous looking, but it's an endearing kind of ugly. NX doesn't have much going for it, I'm afraid. Akira looks much better, and it was based on P-38 too (out of universe--nobody in Starfleet, I hope, is basing ship designs on centuries old propeller driven aircraft).

I can't believe I'm the only one that voted for Ent-J.

Sure its a hubcab with warp nacelles, but you can't deny that a huge saucer section doesn't have a certain appeal.

Sure you can. I do it all the time. The E-J is just the final nail in the coffin proving Trek writers don't have a clue what a descent ship should look like.

I voted Ent-Nil, but had the TMP refit in mind, which essentially makes it the same as the Ent-A.

However, the Ent-A just ain't my Enterprise.

Although the Enterprise A and B both have a nice design to it, I'm going with the E-E because of its sleek curves and streamlined look.

TOS version of the original Enterprise.

A descent ship should have landing gear.

Ent-nil for me.

Constitution refit, either the Enterprise or Enterprise A in that regard. Both versions have their advantages and disadvantages.

The Enterprise-B Excelsior refit style is also very nice, but its not quite as good as the Enterprise-A.

Enterprise-E and the Sovereign design is nice, real nice. A good looking ship with good capabilities. It looks sleek, fast, and deadly.

I have no recolection of the E-J...
I rather like the C

I picked Galaxy X. I was going to pick E-D, but Galaxy X looks meaner (and packs a bigger punch to boot).

Lancer · Post by **Lancer** » 2005-01-20 04:55pm

could somebody add E-E refit into there?

The Nemesis E-E is better looking than the First Contact E-E, despite how horribly bad the movie was.

Superman · Post by **Superman** » 2005-01-20 04:57pm

When did we see Galaxy X? What is it?

Modified E-D from 'All Good Things', the series finale.

As for me, Nil-Refit/A. Simply the best looking of the bunch.

The E-E refit is identical to the First Contact E-E for all intents and purposes.

TheEnt E wins, if only slightly ahead of the Ent B. I always liked Excelsiors...

Darth Lucifer · Post by **Darth Lucifer** » 2005-01-20 05:44pm

My vote goes to Enterprise-A...one person mentioned the big blue deflector; you beat me to it! Then there's the bridge itself. I specifically like the one from Star Trek VI with the clocks hanging around the walls. Nice touch.

Robert Walper would probably vote for NX-01. Not because I think he's stupid enough to like it, but rather, because he would WANT to be fed to the Borg

Superman · Post by **Superman** » 2005-01-20 06:26pm

Nah, Walper would vote for the lamest ship in the fleet, Voyager. Then he would go masturbate to Janeway.

Jay · Post by **Jay** » 2005-01-20 06:58pm

I'd vote for the Enterpirise - Nill. It has the same heavy-metal feel as the Millenium Falcon. When Scotty fixes something, he doesn't wave a magic wand over a touch-screen whilst muttering about the 'interspatial-compensation-flow-flux-crapassiter- ' Nay! He wrenches off a cover and messes with the insides!

The bridge has switches and dials. The crew sleep in bunks. The Heissenberg compensators work very well.

Okay... I'm drooling now.

DarkSilver · Post by **DarkSilver** » 2005-01-20 07:07pm

As much as I love the E-Nil and the E-A (Classic lovely and majestic lines), I voted for the E-E, the thing looks like it's going high warp at relative rest.

The B was nice, the Excelsior was a good stable design I think, but the Ambassador look like a pregnant pig, and the Galaxy looks to top heavy for my ultimate liking. The J...don't get me started on it...and the NX is to akira like to count as a "modern" Pre-Fed design for me. I prefer the Akira's anyway,.
