I like all of them and to be honest picking just one seemed more difficult than it should have been. I ended up picking 1 because it ended up being the one I like the look of best. I do hope the other 3 end up in the game in some way.
These two ships don't even look the same and will hardly be the same. The Jupiter is a bloated whale ship. This ship in the Risian tradition will probably be sleeker and more maneuverable.
If your talking about it having a similar shape to the Jupiter, well that's true many of the ships, look at all the saucers on fed ships yet they are all different.
I liked #1, 2 and 4. I personally had always envisioned a Risian science ship to resemble a submarine. With that in mind, #1 and 4 fit the bill the best. I went with #1. I had seen someone comment on how #1 looked more like carrier but that is how I felt about #4.
I voted for #2 because I liked the bio dome. Also it looked more "science ship" that the others. All are fine vessels which I'd like to have but let's save them for future projects. They can be Risan or other races. If #2 doesn't get picked then I'd like to see it as a Lukari ship. Would fit in great with their terraforming theme.
Looking at some other posts I agree that #1 looks like a combat ship. I'm thinking carrier myself. #3 looks a lot more like an escort, similar to the Oslo skin of the Akira Heavy Escort. I think #4 could be a future Khitomer Alliance vessel as a science ship. It's similar to the Gorn vessels we have already and we'll need a science vessel there at some point.

I agree, they are all nice looking designs.
Resident TOS, G.I. Joe, Transformers and hair metal fangirl.
Wow, those designs are bad. They look nothing like canon designs. Any canon designs...
They are not meant to look like any canon designs.
This is fact, they are supposed to be Risian designs which are definitely not canon. Doesn't mean they don't have a place. I mean hell if we only stuck to canon there is a lot of things in this game we wouldn't have.

Amen Brothers, (or Sisters), and whichever ship you all voted for.. Thank you for taking a stand. I may disagree, but I respect your vote! Live Long and Prosper!

The non-canon designs are derived from canon designs, so they look like they fit. You need to have rules for character creation and ship design. I.E. Reman ships have nacelles close to the body of the craft. Starfleet ships have a saucer and nacelles. Without ship design rules, you get a mess of radically different designs, it looks unprofessional.
That is true of the major races that have ships that have been seen on screen. Federation, Klingon, Romulan/Reman, Cardassian, Orion, Ferengi, and Breen have all had ships of some sort on screen. The devs for the most part have stayed true to the original design influences. The Risians have not. I know that in canon, the Risians may not have any ships of any kind. This game is not canon and so has a bit of creative liberties that they can take. These ships (in my personal opinion) share in the Risian designs that came before (Risian corvette and cruiser). They fit within their own design language.
If you don't like the designs, that is fine. That is your choice. But to say that you don't like them based solely on "they don't look canon" is a bit short sighted.
So this poll shows the order of 2,1,4,3. The official results show 1,2,3,4.
1 was the result they were going to produce from the beginning. Look at the placement of the ships in the list. Look at the quality of the presentation of those ships. 1 had a model and a polished view, the others paper knapkin sketches and a 'blurrier' presentation.

This is my point. I am sorry you do not see that as a valid argument and there is nothing I can say that will change your mind. I just personally feel that all three current and this upcoming Risian ships share a uniform design language and in so, fits in their place in this non-canon game. Again, you are very much entitled to your opinion and I respect that.
I liked the 3rd design so this is what I voted for. And also looking for futuristic ships which was another factor. Since 1st listed design won I'll have to see if it covers those needs. I do remember that thing happened with the Lukari designs when they were introduced. it wasn't a good time for me back then so I ended up with none of them. But I have more toons/alts now so I might go after a few that are watchable. Which in my opinion, 2 and 4 are ugly, no offense to those that came with their concepts. However, concept to materialization can be different, so I'm reserving final judgement for that design phase.
Btw, with those habitational domes, most of them do look like colony ships, don't they. Maybe they should fire up Gal Civ 2 ship editor that had great potential there. In addition, come to think of it, no3 ship looks like something I would have build if I wanted something that would be a spiritual successor to Defiant and Jem'Hadar designs and al in all a pilot and tactical heavy speedboat.
Adm. Necheyev didn't own ANY Starfleet ships. Starfleet did. Also she didn't make one bolt, connect a single wire, gelpack or device, or otherwise helped on making them. I find it presumptuous she claimed it was HER ships. In fact saying as much would probably warranty a reprimand from any of her superiors in Federation and possibly not participating in said actions as other superior personnel do, would in our days(2409 onwards) result in herself facing the same fate as what she has threatened, in that same penal colony.
I hope that they add thes to the ship as a 10th Anniversary year gift, 5 forward weapon slots, 4 aft. 5 Device slots, 4/3/3 combo on tactical, sci and engineering. And a built in Enhanced Battle Cloak. 2 Hanger Bays.

So.. one more weapon hardpoint then any ship in the game..
One more Device Slot then any ship in the game..
But for some reason.. 1 less console overall?
What a strange request.
Overall, I doubt you'll get your request anyway since the 10th Anniversary event is over.

And just for the record I was #TeamBeta:
