Best Looking Ship - Your Opinion

A very simple question - purely in terms of aesthetics, ignoring functionality in any form (tiers, DPS, turn rate etc...), which ship do you think is the best looking in the game?
For me, it would be the Temporal Destroyer, with the Mobius skin instead of the Klein, and fitted with the S31 vanity shield. The shield gives it a real stealth look which seems to work perfectly on this ship (to me at least), hence mine is named the USS Nighthawk NX-9117 after the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk aircraft.

It's a credit to the team that does these ship models, they make so many just amazing looking ships.
I have so many I could list.. but I am just going to keep it simple and go with the Sovereign Class. I always loved this ship in the movies and while I have read some things from people that think the model needs another update.. I think it looks great.
I'm not currently using it due to the fact that I mostly run Cannons, but I am thinking of having a new character level up in one now that it scales.
If I had to go with a STO Specific ship.. I would pick the Gagarin Class Model in my signature. I just think it's stunning.
But I personally prefer the Presidio's look, classic but refined yet not too gaudy. I also like the look of the Prometheus, Odyssey and a few others.
Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.
I also like the eldritch horror look of the Vonph, and the larger jem'hadar ships are pretty neat. And the Chronos but only with a vanity shield that gives it a more interesting color scheme than the default white.
Akira-class and variants: Sleek looking and packs a punch.
Nebula-class and variants: Purposeful look and not as disproportionate looking as the Galaxy-class.
Prometheus-class: Warship
STO original ships
Presidio-class: Sleek looking cruiser.
But by AOY alt flys and Atlas. Best looking "period" ship I think.
But for my main, his favorite ship is the Wells and its temporal counterpart, the Eternal.
Of course, I generally kitbash the heck out of them, so it's a mix of parts I prefer.
Fed I'd have to say it's a tie between the New Orleans and the Ambassador. For the Ambassador, it's got that simple classic look but with updated styling. For the New Orleans, how can you not love the OG kitbash that was put together with literal highlighters
Romulan, it's gotta be the Aelahl. For me, it's the perfect combo between the canon D'deridex and Mogai. So it really strikes me as a fitting evolution of Romulan ship design.
KDF/Jem, I don't play enough and have never been interested in canon anyways.
TOS, probably the Ranger. It looks as ridiculous as I'd have expected for the era, but still has a mean stance to it.
Disco... I'm still waiting for a ship that really screams epic to me. So far the Shepard I'd say. That'll probably be my freebie T6 purchase.
And knowing is half the battle!

I really have to wonder what IN THE UNIVERSE you could be referring to?? Must be an X-files reference .... right?? Actually I did not even notice star-ships on X-files. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention, eh?
If I would need to choose one, it would be the : https://sto.gamepedia.com/Tal_Shiar_Adapted_Destroyer
With its aggressive look, like an insect, or a dark angel, this ship attracted me since the first time I played the game. I never got it because I have other priority before choose a ship perfect for one of my characters (Like The Devourer my hive queen or Defiance my romulan liberated Borg), it's to get experimentals weapons from ships.

Look at them from the top down and you'll see what I'm referring to.
As far as the space bricks... take your general pick of most of the newer KDF ships. They went from the sleeker look of the D7 to looking like cargo shipping containers. Or a whole lot of them glued together, anyway. No real form other than rectangular.
Apologies if that offends your delicate sensibilities, but we're all entitled to our own opinions.

Just some super-quick shots (no demorecord/postwork) looks very cool on a lot of ships, but is definitely not worth 100M imo!!!
