LOL I wasn't sure if your comment was contradicting the article, sarcasm, or tl;dr I can defintely see the resemblance
I've always thought the Voyager design was the ugliest hero ship in Star Trek.
I thought DS9 was worst starship. The thing could barely manouver, it had no saucer separation mechanism, no cool moving warp engines, no graplers, could barely dodge a wrench muchless a photon torpedo. Just a terrible design for exploration
Oh it's the Defiant for me. It's just a blob that is in desperate need of a rhinoplasty. Don't get me started on the idiocy of having the bomb projected on the front of the ship where the majority of fire is going to be going (as the weapons are also front facing) while also having that bomb be where you house the fucking sensors so that if you fire off the bomb you're blind.
