The Sovereign Class is the sexiest and most intimidating Starfleet ship, we need to give it more love.
If my "love" you mean a one way trip to the junkyard then we are in total agreement.
Sovereign class needs to die, used as target practice and so forth.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

Yes it is.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

The sov/regent are sexy looking ships no doubt. Oddy is another sexy looking ship.
Sorry but my tip off goes to the avenger. "She doesn't look like much but she's got it where it counts."

I've grown to love my Excelsior a lot too. Though it always feels like if I stop or turn to hard the neck is gonna go all "loony tunes accordion" on me :P But those Cadillac fins on the Nacelles.....mmmm :cool:
I think the Galaxy is up there as one of my favorites, but in all honesty, The sexiest most beautiful ship to me is the Defiant.

Agreed.
Before STO I annoyed people with Star Trek and Sci Fi discussion in a general sic fi forum.
They had an annual voting for the "best Sci fi ship" (all series and movies, not just Star Trek) and the Sovereign was almost hardcoded on "place 1" all the years.
The Sovereign needs a re-mesh and retexture badly. One of the variants is so messy that the registry/name of the ship doesn't even fit on the saucer (which is a shame, because the Noble saucer looks good).
For me, the best looking Starfleet ship is the Luna class.
I've always preferred Starfleet's more quirky looking designs over the classic Constitution/Galaxy/Sovereign style, which is why the Nebula and Akira are also 2 of my favourite Starfleet designs.
The Sovereign is my favorite canon ship by a light-year. The moment you see it you know it's a ship you do not want to mess with.
The Odyssey looks great standing still; too bad it's such a slow and lumbering beast unless you do a chevron separation. Then it handles like most other cruisers but doesn't look nearly as good.
I agree about the Sov. That is just a classy ship all around. That is the last known canon Enterprise. Hell, the Enterprise E is still around in the STO universe I think.
The Odyssey is trying too hard to be both the Galaxy and the Sov. The Assault Cruiser tries to be the Sov. Vesta tries to be a Sov. None of those ships are able to pull it off with the same grace as the Sov.

Sovereign is ok and I certainly understand the love it gets. Heck I would love to see a Sovereign X dreadnought ^^
But my personal favorite has to be the Miranda.
I don't know exactly what it is about the design that I love so much about it. I guess its the rather aggressive look to it. Those underslung nacelles, the top mounted torpedo launcher just look awesome to me. Its a small and compact ship that was designed for just about everything.
But I also think that the Starfleet Command series of games is a reason. I loved the light cruiser on those games. There, the Miranda had a perfect balance of firepower (well above average for its size), great maneuverability and enough powerlevels to keep up with faster enemies. It could easily take on Klingon D7s that were twice as big. In the game it will very role from generic light cruiser over hospital ship to light carrier vessel (ya it launched Fighters).
If we had an endgame variant of it, I would immediately get it to relive those old days again, hangar bays or not lol
Ships closely after that include the Excelsior, Galaxy and Intrepid. Its just too bad that with the exception of the Excelsior, these ships aren't so great on this game (exception being the Gal X which is good, but not great).
The Ambassador, with its understated elegance and classical lines, doesn't disagree.
That would be rude.
But the OP is, sadly, in error.
What I like about the Ambassador is that it is tougher than it looks, at least in my experience it does. Also, the Enterprise-C gives the class an heir of stubborn nobility, that is of course my opinion.

Could not agree more.
I've had an engineer in the retro since they gave it away, and very recently upgraded to a fleet version.
Tough, versatile, reasonably maneuverable and, dare I say it, classical lines.
I love the look of the Sovereign as well, though there are plenty of great looking ships. The d'deridex and the D7 are a close second imo. The Excelsior also looks awesome in the Ent B configuration.
I have to go with the Galaxy X as sexiest ship in the game. The sov.is a close second. Two of my favorite fed.ships. To me they should have been the top fed.ships in the game only becauuse i like canon ships over anything else in the game. I really hate seeing fed.players flying all these weird looking non canon ships.

You can fly a Sovereign at end game, there is a skin for the assault cruiser refit.
The Sovereign-class in general is a great looking ship. Got my eye in First Contact!
The STO Sovereign-class though... the neck and deflector stick out VERY prominently, with none of the grace of the studio model/CGI model in the three movies.
Of course, Cryptic will not fix it.

Yeah, the Avenger is a bit like a VW Golf with 500 horse powers under the hood. It doesn't look like much, but boy...there is power here.

Oh god, yes please!
OT; Vesta.
Intrepid would be a second.
Agreed.

Wells is a close second though.

movies, the game tries to do it's best, but that's why I said it needs some love.

"Let them eat static!"
sothing is wrong with ou. the Regent was the UGLIEST starfleet ship in game till Avenger

Probably the most underestimated cruiser.

In-game: Odyssey
That doesn't make it a top fed ship...
I will never understand how someone can consider the odyssey even remotely bearable, not even speaking of nice....
Yes, there is much contest to the statement.
Starfleet ships that I'd rank higher than the Sovvie on that list:
Galaxy
Vesta
Ambassador
Regent
Excelsior
Constitution
Defiant
Intrepid
Rhode Island
Probably a few more odd ones. but that's just off the bat.
The STO Sovereign-class though... the neck and deflector stick out VERY prominently, with none of the grace of the studio model/CGI model in the three movies.
