The Enterprise D is the Ford Taurus of starships. They both hail for the same era (Taurus debuting one year prior to STNG) and share the same design aesthetics that became popular around that time. W-I-D-E, ovals, every corner rounded off.
But over the years I've gotten used to her "unique" qualities.
Edit to add: If it were my choice I would've chose this design over the "D" "E" or "F" as well
The D took some time to love, (no pun intended) My favorites are the A and B.
The C still makes me cringe sometimes.
This guys ship would have been an amazing C.
I like his design because it takes alot of the same Elements that i love from the A and the B.
Where as the C seemed to take some of the worse elements.
Now bear in mind, this is all personal preference and opinion. Mine can be different than yours. It happens. But there is no need to be rude, mean or obtuse about this mans designs.
If i could get that as a model, and a toy, and in the game i would love it, and hold and fly it around making whoosh noises.
While i dont agree with the power source, i love the concept and design. And seriosuly people are constantly taking design elements from other things to make new ones.
Constitution refit - Miranda - Oberth
Galaxy - Nebula
When they went with the E they took elements from the A and the B. They did the same thing with the Odyssey. They designed what they thought looked best.
And i think that design is Gorgeous, and i would pay into a kickstarter or crowdfund for a toy of it....
Inertia just means you can do Powerslides in you carrier!
I am Il Shadow and i approve these Shennanigans!

Very nice, I literally pictured someone running around, toy ship in hand, making proper whooshing sounds and got a nice bit of the warm fuzzies. Thanks for the smile.

Yup 29 going on 8, I have the A, the JJverse 1701, the E, the D and the B(fixing it up as i got it off ebay and it didnt get much love it yellowed from being in the sun too long.
I also have a bunch of the Furuta Models.
And a Bunch of the Hallmark Ornaments.
Thinking about getting the all good things D too.
Just because i am an adult doesnt mean i cant be a giggly child over my favorite things.
(Though i do get funny looks whooshing about in the privacy of my own home) (No Sense of Fun)

The Ford Tauraus is not that bad of Car though it was what Nascar usede for few years.
The Ent.-D needs a far thicker kneck with 2 photon laucnchers on it.It would be nice if it had more rounded secoundary hull(stardrive).It would be far better fitted with pher emitters than arrays some set up as the E refit and A .
I very much hate arrays as I would emitters are better that does more direct damage.

Wrong the very first reference was E. just because Okuda didn't like it
The guy isn't that great though... he talks about the D like it isn't the best looking Enterprise ever.

Not everyone thinks that the D is the best looking Enterprise ever, its all opinion.
