30 Days of Star Trek Meme Day 3 - Favorite Starship

Honestly? I think I like the Shenzhou best. It had a lean, practical look to it, and a general shape that recalled the Defiant in some ways, certainly more than it recalled any version of the Enterprise. I loved the low-slung bridge, too -- that was different from any other ship we've seen before, I think, and it was an interesting new take on the general concept. I liked the look of the interior, too -- sleek and modern, but not quite as shiny and antiseptic-looking as Discovery.

That said, I can't remember the Shenzhou's registry number, whereas as soon as I saw Discovery's I knew I'd never forget it. Trust Bryan Fuller to make sure the registry number on the Star Trek ship he created was Halloween (10/31).

Brief opinions on the Enterprises:

TOS: Cheap, weirdly colored.
TNG: Floating office building.
ENT: Totally unmemorable.

Honorable mention to the Defiant, the only Star Trek ship that, thanks to Ronald D. Moore, ever functioned slightly like an actual military vessel.

....I NEVER FUCKING NOTICED THAT. *dies*

And yes, cheers to the Defiant, built to fight the Borg... never got to fight the Borg, still managed to help save the Federation. Respect.

I can't explain why I was paying attention to Disco's registry number in the pilot (apart from "FAN"), but, well, I was. And that tickled me. XD

It was a good little ship, and it did its job, even if not against the foe that it was intended to fight. ♥

The Shenzou was lovely! I am very fond of the flying office building, to be honest.

It really was.

I am very fond of the flying office building, to be honest.

I was just the right age, for TNG, that I have very mixed feelings. On the one hand, I loved it. On the other hand, DS9 was my show and I have endless wells of vague resentment toward TNG because of how it always got all the attention and DS9 always got the shaft in that sense.
