Well, we've never really seen the Elkins (possibly it's a blob in the background of one episode), so almost anything is more mainstream.
The Sabre in a couple of DS9 episodes on flyby, First Contact, the ST Encyclopedia, the DS9TM and almost every online size comparison chart.

Sure- like the TOS Enterprise is the "NCC" class.

Because the TOS Enterprise was built by the earth starfleet before the Federation was founded. Mmmhmm.

Saying "Enterprise-class" doesn't make it any more true.

The Excelsior-class is interesting. When I first saw it (which was after I started watching TNG), I thought it looked ridiculous. Tiny saucer section, stupid black tubing-like neck. But it grows on you, especially once you readjust your thinking from "small saucer" to "long nacelles" (something which is true in reverse for the Galaxy-class).

And I also like the refit job done for Generations, too.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Hmm....do you prefer the "NX" or "NCC" version Excelsior?

Most people I know (myself included) like the "NX" better.

The Galaxy class, especially the way it was shown in Generations, tops my list. Nebula (with triangular pod) is a close second.

And for some reason, the Challenger class is very high on my list. I just like the way the vertical nacelles look.

Galaxy class: for combining beauty and comfort with huge volume and superior equipment.

Runner-up:
Constitution class: for being much the same in 23rd century terms

Chalk up another vote for the Excelsior-class. As old of a design it is, it still has a sleek, fast, futuristic look to it. Very streamlined.

I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

I can't say I'm really bothered. I think the crystal doowikies on top looked a bit better on the NCC, but it's such a small difference that I can't see too many people caring. Produce these "most people you know".

I never liked the way the show "Enterprise" looked. I mean, the ship looks way more advanced than the Tos enterprise even tho it came out earlier. Why'd they go from flat panel displays to huge clunking moniters? (i know it was cuz they didn't have FPD's in the 60's. but still. and the klingons look like they do in TNG, yet they look like humans in TOS. what the hell? did the Klingons get transumated or something, then changed back and transutated again or what!

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.
