Favourite Canon Star Trek Ship

[Majestic]

Well, great! I love it, too. Although I think that all of the Dominion designs are good. The DS9 people obviously had a great designer.

I really loved the Bug designs, like the Attack cruiser. They are my favourite TNG era race and One day I'll get back to doing a complete full race comparable to the Cardassian one I am doing. I have to, they are my favourite race.

Oooh... no love for the poor Galaxy?

I love the Galaxy class, more so than the Sovereign class at times. I see The Galaxy being like the Excelsior, the workhorse of the fleet that will still be in commission and perhaps production still in the 2460's.

Oooh... no love for the poor Galaxy?

It's certainly one of the greats but I had to narrow my list down and sad to say she didn't quite cut it.

...but since I only chose four on my list, she's favorite #5 then.

Also, in regards to shuttles, the Delta Flyer, Type 9 and Venture Class takes the top three spots.

Favourite CANNON ship...

My top three...

Number 1:

The Original Constitution Class. Without doubt - it has lovely clean lines, and for me (and probably many others) it is the very symbol of Trekdom...

Number 2:

The D'deridex Class. I just love this design - the massive scale of it. I love the bird concept too.

Number 3.

The Dominion Bug. A very cool design - it kinda created an identity for the dominion, what, with the purple glows and the distinctive shape and all...

Yep - my top three... Connie wins though...

Did you know? The first Bug seen in the episode Jem'Hadar actually had blue glows not purple it was in fact in following episodes that the blue was replaced with purple. A step in the right direction if you ask me.

My favourite is....

Oberth class, Constitution class and Sovereign class
I love all the other ships too, but those three are the ones that I like the most. I can't decide which one I like the most of them dough Finding a favourite is hard, and may change in the future

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Favorite Star Trek ship?

Galaxy-Class. Hands-down. TNG was the first Star Trek series I watched before being introduced to the others. I find this a bit funny since Generations aired the year I was born, meaning TNG as a series was over and DS9 was well underway.

Back to the point at hand, the Galaxy-Class is my favorite ship for a variety of reasons, other than being the first ship I saw.

A. She represents the objectives of the UFP as a whole. Many space-faring aliens working together on the undending quest for knowledge. At the same time, they were a powerful military force that would not sit around when facing danger.
The Galaxy was a perfect representation of that. She was equipped with state-of-the-art scientific technologies, had enough firepower to hold her own (given the proper circumstances), and she was built with the intent of having families on board her, to give it a sort of 'city-ship' kind of feel.
B. She was named Enterprise. That's seriously one of the biggest reasons I love the Galaxy-Class, since the one we were introduced to was the Enterprise herself, pride of the Federation. It's also most likely the reason why I was quick to accept the Sovereign-Class Enterprise-E, despite my feelings about replacing the Big D

Favorite canon ships?
1. Excelsior (especially Enterprise-B refit)
She was way ahead of her age when she was developed, she was superior to anything the Federation ever encountered before and she has the nice clear lines of the older style ships.
2. Luna (It IS canon!)
On the contrarsy to the Excelsior, a very new-like ship with an unique narcelle configuration and a special sensor platform. She's just gorgerous. I like especially that the Luna was designed to an exploration vessel, so she's only capable to defend herself, but not strong enough to play a tactical role in battles.
3. Miranda
The most multi-functional ship in Starfleet (Surya, Miranda, Soyuz, Majestic, Saratoga, Knox, Daran, Lantree, Renegade, Ptolemy - differend (sub)classes based on the same frame!), which served almost as long as the Excelsior did.
4. Akira
The first ship directly designed for combat. HEr torpedo launchers make her able to destroy the enemy with torpedoes from any angles. And she looks beautiful.

 

[USS_Excalibur]

1. Galaxy-X.
2. Excelsior Lakota Refit.
3. Defiant (The original... not the ****py clone)
4. Reman Warbird (Scimitar Type)
5. Cardassian Keldon
6. Galaxy Refit

(Funfact... the Akula Class is the most widely accepted ship that is not canon.)

 

[Tyler]

My favourite is easily the Galaxy Class, Venture-varient.

Followed by the Sovereign, Akira, Niagara, Freedom & Cheyenne Classes.

 

[Undying_Nephalim]

1. Breen Warship
2. Excelsior
3. Sheliak Raider
4. Constitution Refit (particularly the Motion Picture version)
5. Talarian Warship

.. Niagara...

I do not remember the Niagara being Canon. Where was it shown?

 

[thunderfoot]

Battle of Wolf359. Niagara was there. Only appearance, I believe. But since she was seen on film, she is canon by the normally accepted standards.

 

[Terra_Inc]

Battle of Wolf359. Niagara was there. Only appearance, I believe. But since she was seen on film, she is canon by the normally accepted standards.

Yup, she's canon. There's an article over at EAS about all of the 359 ships. You can clearly identify her on the pictures there.

 

[K_merse]

NIagara is canon. Alongside the Cheyenne, the Springfield, the Challenger, the Excelsior prototypes and many other ships.

Oh and among non-Federation ships, the Norexan (Valdore) Class rules!

 

[Eisenhower]

Nearly all Romulan/Reman Designs are awesome to me! the defiant, sovereign and Excelsior are probably my favorite Starfleet designs.
