I don't know who designed them, but what I do know is that the Prometheus was based on an early Voyager concept.

If your thinking what I'm thinking the Dauntless from 'Hope and Fear' is more like that early Voyager design.

Actually, Sternbach recently mentioned that the Prometheus is not based on that early Voyager model. There aren't any similarities anyway, besides the triangular "saucer."

Ah, okay.

Back to the main question: I think the best way to approach this is by grouping them by series.

The engines on the Prometheus are similar to those of an early Voyager concept model, I think.

I'd say the engines on the Prometheus were direct copies of those from the Enterprise-E. . .

Well, I'll take a stab at some of them. (Those that I can remember, anyway, having already clicked the post reply button.)

The K't'inga class was simply a more detailed version of the old D-7s from TOS. As such, it was essentially designed by Matt Jeffries.

Ok, I forget the rest.

Prometheus: Um... Might be Sternbach. I'm not entirely sure.

K't'inga: Well, like Sol said, it was just a more detailed version of Jeffries' D7, but I believe the changes were designed by Andy Probert.

Romulan science ship: Being from the early TNG years, this might have been another Probert, but that's just a guess.

Damn, someone must know these. Here are my own guesses:

Prometheus - Sternbach
K't'inga - Probert
Negh'var - no idea
Jemmy Bug - Martin
Jemmy Cruisers - Eaves
Hideki - Martin
Rom Scout - Probert
Romabout - Eaves

Alternative suggestions welcome.

I'm almost certain Sternbach designed the Prometheus.

Oh, and now that I think about it, the Romulan scoutship didn't show up until the third or fourth season. Probert was long gone by then. His designs include the D'deridex and the Ferengi Marauder, though. Not that those are on the list, but...

Well, Probert also designed the Ambassador, which didn't show up 'til the third season...

I looked it up, the Romulan scout was designed by Sternbach.
