Last time, I asked you about your favorite starship classes and what makes them appealing to you. This time, I do the opposite: I ask you about which starship classes you hate the most and why you hate them.
In my case, I really have to admit, it's the Constitution class. Really. Now some of you might say I'm trolling, or say "nuh uh it was made in the sixties, they weren't so advanced, you can't say that". But that's it for me. It looks old. Unlike some people, I didn't grow up watching TOS, being born in 1996 I grew up watching VOY. Granted, I also watched TNG and DS9 (Picard is my favorite captain by the way), but when I saw an episode of TOS, it just felt stale to me. And that's what I think about the Connie. It's stale. It's boring. It's like that grandpa sitting on a park bench feeding the ducks, while still wearing what was considered modern in the halcyon days of his youth.
As I stated, my favorite design is the Vesta. The Connie looks like its conceptual opposite. The Vesta is one streamlined, unbroken beauty that looks like it can go mind-numbingly fast (and it can), while the Connie looks like its fragile neck and warp nacelle pylons would break the moment it tries to fly anything faster than warp 8, let alone enter a quantum slipstream tunnel. There are no interesting details on the hull (where are the escape pods?). It looks really brittle/fragile too, compared to the tough looking Galaxy class. The TOS Connie just really cannot appeal to my aesthetic taste.
The Kelvin Timeline Connie is no better, by the way, as it looks like a toy. You know, the ones with the big nice parts so the kids can't swallow anything.
So what is your most hated class? And why? Welcome this thread as an opportunity to hate on your most hated starship design (and please don't hate on me).
