Default Favorite/Least Favorite Shipset Poll

I'm just curious about what everyone's favorite and least favorite shipsets are (just the graphics).

My favorite shipset is the 'Dra'kol' custom shipset created by Don Phillips (Voidhawk) and Tampa_Gamer for the TDM Modpack. I just drool whenever I look at those ships.

My least favorite is the original SE4 Terran shipset. It's just so 'blah' to me. Boxy and kind of square. Unsexy. Nothing wrong with it technically, mind you, but it just doesn't have the panache that some of the others do. We must do better for Mother Earth. I really like Hadrian's 'Federal Union' shipset so I renamed the graphic files and put them in the Terran directory of the TDM mod. Looks *sooo* much better.

Anyone else?

I like the Rage, reminds me of a board game I once had.
The Vandron are also right up there.

I don't really know what I hate the most, but I do know that the terran ships are not blocky enough.
Maybe I've just seen too much B5, and the Jreanar have taken the Trek pressure off

My personall Favorite is the original Federal Union. Great retro shipset.

The ones I dislike the most are my pitifull attempts at shipsets, which even now are decaying in the bowels of my computer.

Included Shipsets:

I have to say that I like the Sallega the most. Even though they may be a bit blocky, they seem the most logical to me.

And for the ugliest... the Fazrah shipset, UGH! BLECH! WHO THE **** DESIGNED THAT anyways?

Fan Made:
Gryphon Sector Shipset must be the most beutiful I have ever seen, even though it's not compatible with Gold.

I really don't have a worst Fan made Shipset because even if there are some bad points in a shipset, there are other points that make it shine and you have to recognize all the work that is put into it...

... even though I have yet to see a trek set that has met to my liking...

There are many really excellent player-made ship sets out there. See for example The USy page, but these are only maybe half of the sets out there.

I don't really have a favourite. My least favourite are the sets that are a mix of all sorts of different sizes and styles and perspectives, with no apparent pattern. I also wish more sets would use a different image for the leader portrait than they do for the population images. Otherwise, it looks like it's an empire of clones of one particular bozo.
