Top 100 Sci-Fi Spaceships

Impulse drives have a lot to answer for, with the whole Voyager landing on planets thing. Apparently the Defiant could do that too, but had no need for such a gimmick. The Enterprise D could too, but only when Deanna was driving.

Apparently the refit constituion class could land the 1º (saucer ) hull as a huge lifeboat! Can not recall if the original design had such feature.

The original Constitution class (the original series) was supposed to be able to do it, but they never got around to ever doing, or mentioning it. If I recall correctly, it was mentioned in some early series documents, but never made it into the show until TNG.

Hrm...

SCOTT: Sir, we're doing everything within engineering reason.

KIRK: Then use your imagination. Tie every ounce of power the ship has into the impulse engines. Discard the warp drive nacelles if you have to, and crack out of there with the main section, but get that ship out of there!

Take it for what you will.

I take it to mean the later shows had incompetent crews that lost their ships too often.

That was a "meh" list, IMHO. Better to include books
