History played out differently in the universe this comes from.

Personally my least favourite Federation ship - wasn't a fan of the blocky feel of the whole thing, including the saucer and nacelle struts.... I know space doesn't care about shape or aerodynamic design, but it just seemed ugly to me... Now when you review the Intrepid class... or the Galaxy class with those sweeping curves (chef's kiss)

The Excelsior is one of my all time favourite ship designs! There’s just something about her ample nacelles if you’ll pardon the engineering parlance! jokes aside, its a shame the versions of the ship in STO are mediocre at best otherwise I’d fly her all the time.

See Truly the Excelsior Class Star ship was a Interesting design, At first I didn't like it, But after seeing it in action during the Movies, I had a change of prospects, I did hate how they kept changing the layout/Look of the Bridge

I'm with you. I used to dislike the Excelsior quite a bit. Scotty dissing it at every opportunity didn't help. But after games like Starfleet Command, Starfleet Academy and Klingon Academy(All of which the ship is a beast listed as a Battleship) and watching it in various battle on DS9. I've come to appreciate it. It's a clear relation between the Connie and the missing link Ambassador class in comparison.

The Ares Command team also is quite fond of the Excelsior Class Starship. Good to see more members of UFP with good taste!
