Do you prefer the hulking majesty of a Galaxy class, the sleek curves of an Intrepid class, the retro-futuristic Constitution or something else?
I've grown quite fond of the Danube class runabout. Small, agile, warp capable, and weapons. Most of the amenities of a larger ship in a smaller package. Where the large ships are like flying cities, the runabouts are more like space RVs and the quadrant their open road. There's just something more personal about them that appeals to me.
I’m no expert though that’s how it appears to me, though I just realized I should have written: "retro-futuristic art deco"…
The detached nacelles, I can somehow live with it, but those weird curves and lack of windows on most new ships are just too off for my brain… it’s like they were made only in CGI with no physical models were ever made, which feels kinda "wrong" and unpractical… as an example, comparing the Enterprise D in Picard season 3, vs in the series and movies. As much as they try, it’s just not the same.
However, the new Academy ship feels mostly okay with me—aside from the Atrium protruding under, which feels is missing something…
I'm not versed in the arts, but going by this definition of art deco:
That closely fits within the definition.
