...but I voted before, so I had to. Theta FTW. Why? It looks more like a carrier, with that beer belly on it which would logically be the fighter bay on this design. Epsilon does not seem to have a visible, logical spot for a fighter bay to be located, thus would either have a limited amount of fighters. Theta looks like it could support a full complement, much like the Atrox or Jem'Hadar Dreadnought.
Was hard to choose one over the other both are true carrier design, but both are not perfect looking, at least Theta is more true to federation looks. Still like Sigma the best!!! with 5 fore & 3 aft weapons, all universal bridge officers, universal battle cloak would be nice on the winner.
Not sure why we are makeing anouther 2 bay carrier. The Cantion Atrox is a good 2 bay carrier. KDF has a good 2 bay carrier The Vo'Quv Carrier and you get it for free at 40 and it can have 2 BOP Carrier Pet. Only the romulians Have no Romulian disigned Carrier with 2 bays. Lets make them a 2 bay carrier!!!
I went with the loser once again. Theta all the way!!! I don't know why people have such a thing for all the 4 nacelle ships for. In my opinion all the winners up to this point are ugly and I won't be buying one unless we get multiple options to choose from in the ship designer.
sweet, I'm glad to see epsilon making a comeback. Neat saucer on her.

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.

Eh, I simply want Sigma to come out on top of them all. But I like carriers, so I'm okay with whatever happens. Sigma has the Federation look to it, it's graceful, AND it looks like it makes perfect sense for a carrier. It's ideal, in my opinion.
Epsilon and Sigma are practically identical with a few minor variations, but they share the EXACT same side view. Heck, all-in-all they would be interchangeable costume pieces for one another.
No one has noticed this???
Open up both images and click back and forth between the two and you'll see for yourself. If the carriers were coming out as a 3 pack then epsilon and sigma would just be variants of the same ship with a different saucer section!
While neither image is particularly appealing (better views/perspectives please), this is a very close vote for me. Theta has that classic Trek feel to it but Epsilon's look is more like a carrier. It's reminiscent of the Galactica...or what would be Starfleet's version, at least. Some would say "that's not Trek" but the Federation has only survived because Starfleet has continually evolved. Besides, I'd like to see a Fed-carrier that can actually look and function like a carrier.
Much harder choice for me this time around. I like both saucer designs as potential carriers, and both hulls could work. However, I have to lean towards Theta. The stubby nacelle pylons on Epsilon are just a touch too short in my opinion.
The universe has a wonderful sense of humor. The trick is learning how to take a joke.

I guess you have no clue these are just the refernce names for Voting.
I believe the devs intentionally made some of the choices butt ugly so they would not be chosen. Just conspiracy theorist here speaking.
Most unexpectedly, this turned into a flame-fest! Closed it goes!. /sigh What flamefestery is this? pwlaughingtrendy

My heart lies with Sigma tho, since idiots decided to vote out the only good design in round 1. #RememberBeta

There have been links in the OP, which take you to a page with the pictures, for each of the polls thus far.

I like seeing a separate hull and saucer section.
