Oh, I agree with you that it is a stupid design.
But it is still infinately cooler than anything from the TNG+ period.

I've always disliked the look of the Ori motherships in Stargate.

The Ori and their ships and orators/pariahs, whatever they were called were a big let down to me too!
Re: the Constitution, i wasn't a fan because like the 'Balance of Terror' Rommie BoP, the Constitution seemed a little spartan, but i have grown to like its minimalist aircraft carrier aesthetics since watching ENT 'In a Mirror, Darkly'
I love the Hat'aks from SG-1 but think they were overused, eg Lucien Alliance etc

I also dislike the Andromeda Ascendant. Actually, I think it's beautiful, but for a ship of the Guard, it looks about as sturdy as a mayfly.

To be fair it was a huge ship(over 1300 meters long) with a skeleton crew. It was hadly operating at optimal levels.

Any kitbashed ship.

I'm with Graham on that. Show some freaking originality, for Creations sake. Kitbashing looks like crap. Why not just throw in a bunch of existing classes as wreckage? If you need more burning debris, make it something recognizable. There seem to be about a million Miranda and Excelsior-class ships, right?

Kitbahes thirded. I also didn't like the new Galactica at first - it didn't look as solid as the old one, but I must admit it's grown on me. Particularly with the Adama Manoeuvre.

As for worst ship - I think I've expressed my opinion on the Promtheus almost as often as Rochey's expressed his on the Galaxy.

Nebula is Kit bash and I really like it.

I don't know... I don't really consider the Nebula a kitbashed design. More like a variant, using some of the same technology for a different purpose. I would rather command a Nebula than a Galaxy, personally. More manuverability, more flexibility; really, it is a better ship. Who gives a crap if it can't saucer-seperate?

The Nebula isn't so much a kitbash as a Galaxy designed by someone with a brain. The saucer and nacelles may be the same basic design, but there are a lot of differences in the engineering hull plus, of course, the pod pylon. Kitbashes are when you take various randomly scaled Airfix models and glue them together. That God-awful Intrepid/Maquis raider/runabout cross for example.

The totally random kitbashes are pretty bad, but I remeber finding a fan site a few years back where he technically created Kitbash ships, but they looked like ligit ships. They were built right, unlike those horrible kitbashes from the series.

The Taidan mothership in Homeworld is pretty ugly. Just a big floating box.

I understand that - I just mean that it looks fragile. It's too pretty to be a ship of the Guard.

I like the Nebula too. I'd love to see one fitted with the big big laser that the Future Enterprise D had in 'All Good Things'

Maybe one of you talented design peeps could knock up a sketch or too...
