Which species ship/structure designs do you like?

Are you a fan of the generic-sci-fi federation ships? or the fluidic designs of the romulan warbirds? Perhaps the flowing lines of Cardassian structures?

What floats your metaphorical boat?

I have to say that the clean lines of the canon TNG era ships are where its at for me.

Those were definately my favorite style of ships. The Galaxy is one of those that I can understand why people don't like it, but something about its curves just works for me.

It's interesting you say this, because the thing about Federation ships is they aren't the generic Sci Fi spaceship. They don't look like spaceships at all, other than because Star Trek exists we associate the enterprise with spaceships. If you saw the shape out of context without the fore knowledge of startrek you probably wouldn't relate it to a space ship at all.

Only because the overall 2 hull 2 engine design has been copied so much has it become the generic.

or the fluidic designs of the romulan warbirds?

I wouldn't call the warbids fluidic, they definately have an organic hint to their design, but they don't quite flow.

Perhaps the flowing lines of Cardassian structures?

The cardassian ships have more of hard industrial look compared to most Trek ships.

Still waiting on the Andorain battleship....
