The Spice? I thought there were five. Well, four, now.

Because the UFP believes in capitalism and free competition (as long as you don't make a profit) while other races choose government regulation?

Considering the UFP is a communist government ...
The Klingons have quite a variety of ships, IIRC.

BoPs, B'Rels (variant of BoP), Vor'Cha class attack cruiser, Negh'Var class massivemotherfucker, D7s, and the freighters seen in...damn, I thought it was 'Rules Of Engagement', but they were Cardassian - oh, you know the ones I mean, they're Cardassian freighters painted green!! Sod it.
So that's what, six? Hardly wide-ranging compared to StarFleet.

Compared to the Romulans ... who have, what? A big ass warbird, a scout ship, a shuttle and an old ship from TOS?
Not to mention that there are a couple different classes of bird-of-preys, aren't there?
Anyway.

....because if they didn't make tons of ship classes, all of these websites with pictures of starships, and a few BS descriptions wouldn't exist!
People would no longer be able to argue about exactly how long this ship class is compared to this other one.
People would no longer be able to make up elaborate backstories based on a few lines of spoken dialogue.
We wouldn't even be able to post series 5 ideas based on the exploits of insert new snazzy uber-shop here equiped with the spiffy quantum multidimensional isothermic thingiemabob in the insert random quadrant/galaxy/universe/time here with constantly coming up against the Totally invulnerable for one season, till they suddenly become as fearful as Pokemon enemy.
A whole industry of websites, fan fiction, and computer games would be damaged beyond repair if they didn't continuously make up new ships!
The horror, the humanity!
Just kidding around

Lets see, the last Federation starship design we've seen on screen was, what, the Nova Class? That was about two years ago. You know that almost everyone posting on this board is thinking that this is far, far too long to wait for new designs. As a matter of fact, if we didn't have the revelations of the Wolf 359 ship designs, people here would probably have gone crazy.
And that, dear reader, is why the Federation has so many ship designs.

Besides, there's not THAT many Starfleet-designs in service. Half of them will never be seen onscreen again, like all those bastard-designs based on the Galaxy-kit, and the Constellation... Not unless series 5 will be in that era...
