My friends and I recently challenged each other to list our top five starship classes and were surprised by how different our opinions were despite being generally in agreement with what we like about the various series.

Personally it was hard for me to make a definitive “top five” but here are some I rank highly in no particular order:

  • TOS-era constitution
  • Refit constitution
  • Discovery-era Bird of Prey (OG is good too obv but I love the HR Geiger-esque weirdness)
  • D’Kora class Ferengi ship
  • Not canon, but I love the original “Long-boi” Discovery design. It gives off some very cool art-deco retro-futurism vibes. Not very classically “trek” but I love it nonetheless!

I am curious to see what c/StarTrek thinks!

    That is the canon design for the Discovery before the far future refit it got.

    I thought that was this one, no?

    Why did I think the other version was never on-screen?

    EDIT: I have been informed the above image is fanart.

      Something to consider with those two images is that they’re different angles. Your first image is of the underside of the ship, while the second is the top of the ship.

      Also, the texturing and nacelles are different between the two, but the body and saucer seem to be structurally the same. Still a long-boi even with the slightly shorter nacelles.
