And yes, I'd like this on the Tech forum, such that we can discuss the lousy merits of starship design.
Ten nacelles. Twenty-six torpedo tubes. Weapons that could vaporize a planet in a flash, and still have room to take on the entire Borg armada. Fandom is replete with hideously ungainly designs like these, made by any Tom, Chakotay or Harry with a schematic and Photoshop. They're everywhere, they're awful, and we complain about them all the time.
Let's see the worst of the lot. And the reasons WHY you think it's awful.

-------------------- Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week? Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir. Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then. Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

The newst out of Starfleet! This baybee has 46 nacelles all powered by 1 micro 2 millocochrane warp core! She has a top speed of Warp 56.9990999999! She has 67 torpedoe tubes! This ship is the latest, most advanced! The CUP OF DENTIST CLASS!(Man I love Paint!)
PS: Andrew, you think too small. Make it 66. Two micro warp nacelles for each one and 3 for the top 2!

Uh... I really really really really really hate a good portion of the RPG ships, usually those with super weapons, "kitbashes" of real ships, or those from FASA and LUG [or is it LUC? Last of the Unicorns something is all I know].

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that that third ship Shik posted actually looks reasonable, if it were from, say, the twenty-sixth century or something. Seriously, if something like that showed up actually onscreen, and it were supposed to be from somewhere between the TNG era and the Relativity era, I wouldn't have a problem w/ it. Aside from the fact that the side of the saucer looks like an Akira...
