Officially the ugliest ship ever!

I actually like the render (yes the clay thing indeed looks ugly)
The Nacelles are a bit to short for my liking but well... they work!

And please remember to stone the Users that submitted a) more uglier ships and b) the User that send this ship in and not necesseraly the Devs

Myles ... at first glance SoulWolf Class looks quite pretty (merely ok ?²!/)  good. I see nothing ugly about it.

clean your glasses too many angles, looks like a knife more than a starship.

meh to each his own.

im sure there's some demented soul out there who likes the on topic ship.

We all have our likes and dislikes. I think that with a decent paintjob this ship would look a whole lot better, but it's not bad as is. I have seen much worse and probably done worse with some of my modelling expiriments in creating new ships.

if u look at the century class, that has elements that are a new, and elements that remind you of the past, and the century is a brilliant design. proves it can be done. this design is just plain ugly. it isnt the ugliest ship ever though, sadly there has been worse.

Here here. I also see a little bit of Century deflector in that clay render.

I look at this thing and there are definitely parts that are interesting, but then there are other aspects that just make it look horrible. I think, personally, I'd like to see textured renders before completely passing judgement.

Believe it or not, but I think its actually an ok design.  Looks a bit like the Canaveral from the top.

From the top or the side, you cannot see how awfully ugly the front-view on that thing is...

The connection between saucer and stardrive looks so fat (it's impossible to ignore that!) and when you see the aft-view it suddenly sleeks down the closer it is to the stardrive.. the design contradicts itself. I cannot take it serious.

I like the render at the bottom. The coloured thing they did was just awful.

I actually rather like it! I like where they were going - my only gripe is the loss of scale.

The drawing seems to convey a graceful design. Someone mentioned earlier it's a bit flat, which I agree with. The nacelles seem a bit short, in my opinion (or the saucer is too big) and the notch at the stern (seen in the profile view) should be made more shallow. Most importantly, though, the "neck" (reminiscent of the D'erdex) needs to be kept thin (looking from stem to stern), which is how the original drawing and computer render seem to design it.

These are the only real "corrections" I would make.

An accurate assessment in my opinion.

Well the (maybe? Don't know) Ingame Render of this Ship (currently on the STO Main Page for the Dev Interview with Startrek.com) does look a thousand times better then anything presented so far in my opinion...
