It’s quite possibly the best looking ship ever seen on-screen.
Not to mention one of the most influential ships in the history of the Federation.

Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!
I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.
Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.
No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.
No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.
No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.
Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

Overall, I gotta say that the intrepid class is the goat. Separate the saucer? Fuck you, we're going to land on this rock with our fucking landers without leaving a DBZ trail behind. The enterprise has ChatGPT 18.5 turbo, but you can't fit that into the energy requirements of a ship like Voyager, so the designers of the intrepid class did a line of space coke, hit their head on the table on the way down, then got up and got ChatGPT 19 to run on roided out bundles of mouse neurons. Tired of squishy human doctors? Us too, man; here, have an EMH, never turn him off, maybe he'll get superpowers. Or hologram dementia. Or both? Idk, he's sassy and overpowered, you're going to love it. Check it out, dawg, the fucking nacelles move! The bridge looks sick AF, too.
But I also really like the Cali class ships from lower decks as a representation of what the more mundane day-job ships in the fleet are like. It's nice to see these roles explored, and the design of the Cali class tends to reflect its role: nothing fancy, it's practical and straightforward without being austere.
