Hmm. Not a design I'd have chosen. Still, for that sort of mission it's probably the best bet - plenty of volume for carrying stuff around, assuming no-one looks askance at the warp core.
Welcome to DITL.

Sounds like a good mission.

Aye, not much to set the WC off on supply runs.
Welcome.

Unless you're transporting pepper and accidentally drop a crate.

Me, I'm a fan of the Galaxy-class. Next Gen's where I came into the series, and I'll always have a special place in my heart for her... so Uprated Galaxy-class explorer for the starship, and long-duration exploration, first contact, and diplomacy in the Gamma Quadrant for the mission. The war's over, the Dominion's no longer standing in our way, and there's a whole quarter of a galaxy's worth of brave new worlds to seek out.

If it's a war-GCS there shouldn't be a problem - it seems that one of their many improvements involved replacing the warp core with a somewhat more stable design.

I feel similar - I started watching TNG when I was about 3, just as it was in its last couple of seasons, and I've always found the GCS impressive and fascinating (even if people say that it's a bulky, poorly proportioned flying hotel). Of course, I would have loved to see more shots of it in separated mode, with the badass cobra-headed stardrive section engaging the enemy.

Thats why i have a soft spot for VOY. I know its a load of bollocks, but I will still have a soft spot cause its what i was brought up on.

I've always liked sci-fi, but I didn't start watching 'Trek until after TNG was over. The first series I actively followed was DS9.
And, to reiterate, I'd choose a Danube-class runabout, with my mission to simply road-trip around the galaxy with my best friends.

I grew up with the movies, starting with The Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, and the Voyage Home. Didn't realise there was an original series for a few years later.
I did love TNG though, I was about 9 when I first started watching it.
And I'd go for a Danube class too, but alone. And with a storage area full of alcohol - I can't imagine the replicators preparing worse fare then the microwave meals I live off, but I couldn't be doing with Synth ale.
Second thoughts, maybe Data - he can make a mean cocktail. And has an off switch.

With a handful of flower stickers pasted on, and a "VW" emblem, no doubt?

I said
road-trip, not hippie love-fest.

Okay, some of it would be the same. But no holding hands and singing.
