    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! Smile jokes aside, its a shame the versions of the ship in STO are mediocre at best otherwise I’d fly her all the time.
