Haha cool photo
I really think that is one of the best looking enterprises despite is being tactically and technically inferior to its successors.
My favorite will always be the Enterprise from the films, but NX-01 is not a bad looking ship.
As an engineer, Babylon 5 always appealed to me ...
I rather enjoyed the "realistic" internal design/layout of ships in Babylon 5.
The "standing" Star Fury which had to deal with realistic physics and inertia to all the Earth capital ships.
After all, if you were going to build a man-piloted space craft, you'd likely be standing in it.
The only ones where you may sit are the trans-atmosphere fighters (the Star Furies were space-only).
Then there are the Earth capital ships, especially the Omega Class with its rotating mid-section.
All had people "strapped in" because, yet again, there is no such "advanced technology" as artificial gravity.
You had people "strapped in" on the sides, the roof, etc... of the bridge for maximum usage of space in the ship.
As the saying goes, "don't apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem."
