And with that, you just lost all credibility.

No... we all understand your argument just fine. Noone agrees with you.
Oh, and you can't say that the Nebula appeared so beautifully and memorably in Generations, so much so that it would make a great lead ship because everyone loved it in the movie, then turn around and say that it's only made blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearances.
"Your argument is invalid" Uh huh. You know, you should really just write a blog. You'd be a lot less frustrated.

It seems fairly apparent that this individual is a troll. His relentless mantra that the Nebula class should have been used on Voyager and that anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't truly understand Star Trek is a giveaway. Not "something other than the Intrepid class" or "perhaps something along the lines of the Nebula class" but "the Nebula class, you aesthetically ignorant Philistines!". He's being too deliberately obstinate to be trying do anything but rile up members of the board. This is exactly what he did with his absurd thread about Star Trek VI. Or maybe he's a North Korean dictator. I think Kim Jong Il is irrationally obstinate too.

Oh good, another quoting session. Lets see...
" You say it could not be a lead ship which makes you prejudiced against the nebula class.This is like saying a black could not be a lead due to prejudice ."
When did I ever say that I hated the design? i think it is nice looking, but not lead ship material.
" you have an identity "
Very observant.
" The internal fitting regarding gel packs and so forth are not relavant and are internal fittings ."
So youre saying the ONLY thing that matters regarding a ship is how it looks?
"... if that identity was replaced with a plain generic non-descript identity that would make you less interesting.
I already have a plain generic non-descript identity. Also, Many people with girlfriends are myopic, and wear sweaters.
" Also you say it is just a E-D saucer stuck on a engineering section but you are wrong ."
When did I say this? You must be the world's best paraphraser.
" The disc on the nebula is more like the disc on the Excelsior or the E-A ."
What disc? Also, (mainly because I'm getting tired of hitting the quote key) the next movie is set in the TOS time period. What is remastering a show that has been off the air for less than a decade going to do for movie publicity?
Hmm, this is kinda fun

Z, sometimes a troll is needed to induce a lively spirit, as Johnny asked, how did this thread get to be six pages long? Easy, we went under the bridge and beat the trolls mercilessly with rubber chickens and real fish!
Those gel packs, well, they were just non-talking plot devices. Which means that with a Nebbie you wouldn't need a plot?
Oh, and it is a SAUCER, not a fucking disc!!! EDIT: forgot my /

He could be reffering to the AWACS dish that the Phoenix had in the Nebbie's first prominent appearance. But, the Farragut from Generations didn't have that "disc", only a mission pod. Even if he is a troll, I find it fun to argue with his arrogant selfserving views.

*shrug* Ignoring him or enjoying it, either way he does not accomplish his goal. I just like being a jerk (for me) without having to feel bad about it! It's cathartic.

Why waste real fish? You're average seafood restaurant has plenty of plastic ones on the walls. Either way, trolling on Flare seems pretty pointless since no one is overly serious about the subject and none of the members are likely to have the sort of reaction a troll is looking for.
Back onto the topic; I've always liked the Intrepid class design, especially from above. My only complaint about the design has been that the interface between the saucer and the secondary hull seems a bit too abrupt.
My heresy is that I've never actually liked the Galaxy class; it's proportions always seemed wrong to me. It had a good side view but front and top views always made the secondary hull and nacelles appear freakishly small in comparison to the enormous saucer. And putting the long axis of the elliptical saucer perpendicular to the forward motion of the ship made it seem clumsy. I was very pleased with the Sovereign class design, which fixed most of what I thought was wrong with the Galaxy class.
