The Best Looking Ship You Own

OK, so for the purposes of this thread we're not interested in tiers, DPS, BOFF station layout, console slots, weapon slots or anything else, this one is all about aesthetics.
In your opinion, which is the best looking ship you own and why?
For me, it has to be the Mobius Temporal Destroyer. Especially with the Upgrade skin on it it looks sleek, menacing and fully capable of living up to its name and simply destroying stuff - the kind of ship you really wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley, so to speak. Combine that with the fact of it being at least a semi-canon design, insofar as it being a variant of the Wells as seen in ST:VOY, and it's a clear winner for me.
In due course I want to get the Aeon skin for it, but that's only going to be more icing on the cake for me.
What about you guys?

The Fed command ships would be my second. I just really like the look of them for some reason.

I probably tend to Sovereign a little more than to the others.
I also kinda like the Intrepid Class, but in my personal opinion, I think that the Warp Nacelles (or whatever you call them in english) are too short.
The Andromeda would be up there in first, but unfortunately I don't own that skin. :c
Because when I saw ST:3 I was captivated by it's style and absolute logic as a successor to the Constitution. The refit add-ons are minor yet make the ship "better". It is truly a beautiful design.
Then the name ... say it aloud ... excelsior. Yeah, that's a cool word.
In game, this relatively small ship packs a helluva punch.
On the Fed side, I have the Vesta pack. I like the Surveillance version the best. But I use the Engineering Nacelles on it. It is semi canon which is a plus for me. And it looks like a logical progression from the Nova/Rhode Island class.
Quoted for truth.
Even though it would make no sense whatsoever from a technology standpoint, I would still buy a T6 Excelsior if they released one.
So awesome.
On the upside, at least the presidio pays homage to its awesomeness in some respects.
Then please fill out my dissertation survey on feline attachment, it'd be a massive help (-:

Also: Sovereign class.
Fedside, Vesta, Luna and Intrepid are good enough to use most of the time. Soverign, too, is okay. Miranda and Akira are ships I can live with and not scream, Nebula is right on the border...
Most everything else is too "flat" and or "oddly proportioned" to fit with my aesthetics...
Romside, I "suffer" with the T'Varo. That DSD isn't bad looking, either. Otherwise, I tend not to fly tons of Rom stuff, though I could grow attached to the Mogai / Valdore...
KDF, would be D7 (TOS & K'Tinga). Never cared much for the BOP look. Can't say how I'd react to KDF science...

2. Fed Command battlecruiser mix: Saucer, primary pylons, sec. pylons, sec. nacelles: Concorde; lower/upper hull, neck primary nacelles: Presidio.
This makes a futuristic and smooth looking Excelsior 2.0.

3. Eclipse with phantom Nacelles (close pylons) in bright white, looks gorgeous!

4. Exeter. Sadly there's no bigger T5 version of it.
I just love to tinker the ship models, it's half the fun in STO for me.
EDIT:

Hey, give the excelsior a glossier finish and keep the overall proportions and you can easily redo the ship...
On my Romulan, I really like the Fleet Ha'aapax though I don't use it much. With the dark skin and the sweeping wings, it's a mean looking ship.
Of the ships I don't own, my favorites are the Tempest Skin on the Patrol Escort Refit, and the Excelsior skin that looks like Enterprise B.
Brute - D'Deridex. This ship looks like you should run for your lives. My Rom Tac uses this beast.
Legendary - K'Tinga. You just can't beat this old legend. My KDF Eng uses this ship.
Respect - Galaxy Dread. Mine has the Galaxy look with Venture saucer. This ship demands respect. And the name fits. USS Yamato.
Punisher - Defiant. My lower level Fed Tac uses this brute.
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
For fed, either the sexy chrome trimmed fleet avenger, or yes, the mobius with the aeon skin. The carbon fiber look of it is just niiiice. For kdf im going with the qib with nukara shields and deflector. Rom idk theyre all pretty fugly imho
Edit: romulan actually ill go with t'varo or t'liss.. Always did like that one particular romulan ship design
And for non faction specific ill go with my d'koras (probably in my top five trek ship designs period) particularly with the khg shield, and the narcine
For the Klingons, there's the Vor'cha, so far out ahead of the pack it isn't even close. Still, an honorable mention to the SuQob raptor, man do I wish that had an endgame version.

I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)
Close second, stock GalX with Reman shields.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
Bellerophon is a close second. Beautiful thing.
Lately however, I got myself a Guardian. Did away with the flimsy mini nacelles and the neck ribbing. It's got dark blue and black highlights and looks great in any light.
See for yourself.
Now I understand that I'm posting in the Federation Shipyards so I've confined myself to Federation ships but the one that I always go back to is the Bortasqu'. It's a slow menacing beast that'll make mirror Worf feel proud to be Klingon. Just don't let an escort get too close. We know how that ends.
Yes ..the wells
