Oh yeah I love that ship, followed by the Intrepid and Sovereign. Also a fan of the Prometheus.

Yes, A lot of people I know don't like the look of the Intrepid, in my opinion, I think it looks great due to its uniqueness. I have always loved the Sovereigns sleek and hightech look and the Prometheus for the same.
Whats your opinion on the Prometheus triple saucer separation?

I've always loved the Intrepid personally, it was pretty unique like you said, and for what was a deep space science vessel it looked like it was designed for just that, much like how the Defiant looks like a ship designed to fight. I agree with you on the Sovereign, the sleek, high tech look has always been great, it's a great ship.
As for the Prometheus I wasn't entirely sold on it when I first saw it before the triple separation, although I think it was because it didn't follow a traditional Starfleet design in comparison that had a lot more smoother lines, but I loved the triple saucer seperation, when I first saw the episode I thought it was awesome! It's something I still love today.

I agree fully on your points with the Intrepid and Defiant classes. My favourite part of the Intrepid is how its nasals move to a raised position before warp. And like you said the Defiant is a nimble and fast looking warship. I like the backstory we get from the NX Defiant. Originally built by a paranoid Starfleet to combat the Borg. Made to have as many guns in a small chassis as possible. The prototypes then shelved in storage after the Borg threat was over. So much backstory for each individual ship.

Yeah I agree. I loved with the Intrepid that they didn't just make the nacelle's movement just something to make the ship pretty but that it was to help cut down to the damage made to subspace due to Warp travel, which wasn't just a great in universe reason for it but also a reference to the Next Gen episode "Force of Nature" when they were discussing the fact that high speed warp travel was damaging subspace, that was cool.

Yes!
I think one of the main reasons I love Star Trek and Star Wars so much is because of how well the writers go into detail will all the technology that goes into each individual ship. In Star Trek, it is ever apparent that each ship has a reason for existing.

Yeah I've always loved that too and that if they design something for a ship they always have a reason for it, like out of universe they gave the Intrepid the folding nacelles because it made the ship look cool but in universe it had a reason. Same with the Defiant being made specifically to fight the Borg, the Galaxy was a long term, deep space exploration vessel so they needed something that could do scientific research, travel great distances but also be large enough to house families considering how long and how far from home the ship was going to go.
Same with the MVAM on the Prometheus was to help fight the Borg and other advanced races who might outgun them in a fight. With the shuttles too, like how in Voyager with the Delta Flyer, although Tom joked about it being a hot rod, not only did they have a reason for building it but they did a whole episode on it to establish it when they could have just said they made it off screen and here it is.

Yes, you took the words straight out of my mouth. One thing I don't particularly like about Star Trek, which was only really seen in TNG, is the static warfare. Just two ships standing still firing pot-shots. I love space general that use elaborate maneuvres and 3D tactics in space. We saw this with the Defiant and a little through Voyager but never in TNG.

That's true although both the Defiant and Voyager were smaller, more manoeuvrable ships, the Galaxy is pretty big in comparison so maybe that was one of their reasons, plus it was rare that the Enterprise D went up against ships smaller than itself really but you're right the whole not moving pot shots thing was something that maybe could have done a little less of in TNG.
