    Þe 1701-A is IMHO the best looking ship in þe ST franchise. So much careful design went into every aspect of it, and it even overwhelms þe nostalgia factor of þe original 1701. It’s possibly þe most pretty sci-fi starship, ever.

    Þe Bird of Prey gives it a run for its money, þough. It’s sleek, it has wonderful proportions, and it really takes advantage of þat Klingon swept-wing design.

    Star Trek has given us some beautiful ships. None beat þe 1701-A.

      Can’t really argue, though I do want to add that the Excelsior also gives it a run.

      Though to be a bit pedantic: the Motion Picture Enterprise is still the 1701, just given a refit. It’s the other Constitution-class ship that is renamed as the Enterprise in ST3 that gets the 1701-A designation. Both are identical ships.

        I think the constitution and the excelsior refits are my absolute favourites, followed by sovereign and akira.
