Berman annouced that the series was set around a starship.. but thats about it. Assuming they are using a current design (which is probably unlikely) which class would you want it to be.
My vote: Akira-Class. Freggin powerful and a beaut too.
It's not set in the current time-period. It's set in the past, but it's not "BOTF" (think of it as a "prequel" to TOS).
Akira-Class didn't exist back then.
Besides, TPTB always design a "new" starship for the show.

My top 3 choices are: 1) Akira-Class 2) Steamrunner-Class 3) Saber-Class
There is no proof that it's a pre-Tos series! I've heard many rumors about what the series will be about. My two faveorites are the anthology series rumor, and the rumor stating the STV would focus on the Federation special ops.

If you re-read Wes1701E post, he says if they were using current designs. Now, if they do go Pre-TNG, I would really like to see the Excelsior Class as the primary ship.

I'd just like to point out that there's no direct evidence that Series V will be a Pre-TOS.

They tried that already - a space-based hospital show called "Mercy Point" or something a couple years ago. I've never seen it, but reports say that it was terrible.
They'd never retread anything like re-using an old starship design as the main ship. There's little newbie-attraction value in it, no matter how much tech heads like us want it.

So I guess having an Akira as the primary starship is unlikely huh? Darn it. By the way, could somebody put more responses in my 'Is this worth anything' post in the officers lounge. I must have at least 10 responses or I'll feel like nobody cares.

I don't think they'll use a 'unnecessary pleading for responses'-class ship in the next show. Good point, though.

I hope for Star Trek sake that the next ship isn't the largest, most powerful and the most advanced ship ever built. A ship that could destroy an entire Borg fleet with a single finger.
I'm hoping for a Akira class or even an Ambassador class.
If they were going to do a 23rd century show then a Excelsior class. This way we get to see that STVI syle bridge again and mayb the Enterprise maybe.
