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".
Modelers, mostly- we notice all the small diffrences. The NX version has a correctly scaled bridge (a big silver teardrop shape), for example, while the NCC's bridge is a tiny pea- meaning that Sulu and company are snug in the B-Deck and that Excelsior has starfleet's first recessed bridge design. There's also a dome towards the rear of the ship that I greatly prefer to the odd box structure there on the STVI version.
Bernd has (as always)a big article on te diffrences and potential scaling issues.
Both NX, NCC and Refit versions are in service in TNG (the Hood, Lakota and all the ships destroyed on DS9 being examples).

Yeah....but times and attitudes change, and there have been several new designs since then so...

Nebula, Akira, Excelsior (Ent B edition, just for the looks).
This however, needs to go to Starships.

"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!"
Guess you should have watched the fourth season.

4th season of what? Enterprise or The original? I Don't watch either show all that often. I like TNG and DS9 better.
-------------------- 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.
I also prefer TNG/DS9, but Enterprise was pretty darn good in it's last two seasons.
Better than TNG's last season anyway.

From the POV of favorite ships, though, it didn't give us anything new. Unless you for some perverse reason fancy the Pasteur.
Speaking of perversity, I'm rather fond of the Klingon freighter modified from the Groumall model. It's got the screen presence of an 18-wheeler; now imagine a Klingon behind the wheel and the impact factor goes up tenfold...

Exactly. Add "Descent Pt 2", "Genesis", "Masks", "Iterface", "Phantasms" and "Liaisons" and you get a hit parade of TNG's worst episodes ever.
Though it gave us Parallels, The Pegasus, Preemptive Strike and All Good Things, it was still a pretty disapointing season- as though it had just run out of good ideas.
I still say that anything with Alexander or Luwaxana is the death of any TNG episode they're in.
