Well, I've set my stories on a Nebula-class vessel, so I'm kind of partial

 flexibility when
setting scenes on board the ship.  Of course, the Athena has some touches

other Nebula-class ships like the lander and the Odonan warp drive.  I
alwa= ys liked the
look of the ship.  For the "Alexandria" stories, I used an
off-the-shelf En= terprise/Constitution II-
class ship simply so I would not have to develop anything about the ship

"Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise" as the reference.

I've invented many non-canon vessels, mostly Odonan ships, but also some
Fe= deration ships,
including older vessels that would have been current during Kirk's era. 
I'= ve also designed
the Atlas for the story "The Flag At the Edge of Space" and I
have in mind = a Pioneer-class
starship that is a Nebula-like variation of the Sovereign-class ship. 
Howe= ver, my favourite
non-canon ship would be the Epic-class, a small ship (around 200 m in
diame= ter) with a
small crew, around 90-120, very sleek and very fast, designed for
explorati= on and boldly
going into the great unknown.  I've done graphics of the top, front, side
a= nd bottom of this
ship, and sometimes feel I should seriously learn how to use a 3D modelling=
 program in order
to create images of this ship.
