** Then came the [http://home.tiscali.nl/goosens/warpcore/en/downloads/achtergronden/enterprise_e_1024.jpg Enterprise-E] in ''[[Star Trek First Contact (Film)|Star Trek First Contact]]''.
** ''[[Voyager]]'', a [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/9/9f/Intrepid_class_top_quarter_aft.jpg sleek, high-tech ship] designed to go where the bigger ships can't, and accomplishes this goal a little ''[[Infinite Supplies|too]]'' well.
**** [[Word of God]] says that the folding pylons make the warp drive
*** Also, the ''[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/7/74/Delta_Flyer_II.jpg Delta Flyer]'', designed by [[Ace Pilot|Tom Paris]] and [[Wrench Wench|B'Elanna Torres]] ''specifically'' to be a Cool Starship. (Too bad Tuvok vetoed those retro fins Tom wanted.)
*** And the ''[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/6/62/USS_Dauntless_profile%2C_Hope_and_Fear.jpg Dauntless]'', even though {{spoiler|it turns out to be a [[Trojan Horse]]}}, it's still pretty cool.

*** Especially since, if you go by the [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/0/06/IKS_Rotarran_fires_on_Jem%27Hadar_attack_ship.jpg IKS Rotarran], (Martok's ship) Dominion War-Era Birds of Prey are pretty much comparable to the USS Defiant.
*** Not to mention the [http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/D%27Kora_class Ferengi Marauder] of all things, even Picard considered it a "very impressive design" - good thing they're more interested in commerce than warfare.
** Let's add the ''[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/a/a9/Akira_class%2C_overview.jpg Akira]''-class (functionally Star Trek's version of [[The Battlestar]]), ''[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/c/c2/USS_Farragut%2C_Generations.jpg Nebula]''-class (Compact version of the ''Galaxy''-class yet just as powerful, and with the weapon's pod even moreso), the ''[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/e/e7/Galaxy_class_aft.jpg Galaxy]''-class itself (especially the War Refit versions), the ''
** Also, the various Borg ships, especially the very large and very dangerous [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/9/9f/Borg_cube_engaged_at_Sector_001.jpg Cubes]. That is, until they start to suffer from [[Villain Decay]], notably in ''[[Star Trek Voyager (TV)|Star Trek Voyager]]''
** While only occurring in one episode, the [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/3/38/Voth_city_ship.jpg Voth City Ship] is definitely deserving of a mention. It's huge. It's fast. It beamed the entire motherflipping starship Voyager into a cargo hold!
*** More impressive because the Voth are genetically related to humans, being descended from Earth dinosaurs, who managed to escape the extinction in primitive ships and made it all the way to the Delta Quadrant where they dominate all the species in their area of influence. They could probably give the Borg a run for their money.
** The Vulcan High Command ringships from ''[[Star Trek Enterprise (TV)|Star Trek Enterprise]]''; particularly the
** Many of Starfleet's ships have a Fridge Coolness factor to them: before the ''Defiant'', Starfleet weren't really into actual warships<ref>That would be ''why'' the Defiant isn't officially classified as a warship</ref>, and so their ships had other primary purposes (exploration, mostly). Didn't keep them from going up against ''dedicated'' warships and winning...
* This was subverted in ''[[That 70s Show]]''. The camera moves underneath a chassis to display it as a huge behemoth flying in space, only to reveal that it's a Vista Cruiser with Eric and Donna sitting in it. Incidentally, it could be considered a [[Cool Car]].
