Oberth for me; Danube looks generic while Oberth just feels like something the Federation would use as a purely science vessel. It's so ugly it loops back around into beautiful; like a Citroen 2 CV

Danube class ... would like to have one for nipping around the local systems and looks much better than a boxy shuttlecraft.

Danube, she's not particularly good looking but the Oberth is plain ugly. Plus I have fond memories of trying to build one out of Lego when I was a kid.

Danube class runabout. Nice, simple shape - a chisel with warp nacelles.

Wonder what it would look like if you removed the nacelles and added a rocket cone to the rear...

If the Oberth is the Citroen what does that make the Danube class... a Toyota Yaris :)

I'm definitely getting shuttlecraft vibes off the Honda City !
So simple you can build one with Lego from am emergency kit:

Apologies all, busy day and for some reason the Star Trek forum on boards just would not open.

So, let's have at it.

Vote for D7... has that low slung look of a hungry hunting dog.
Something about the proportions of the Valdore look off to me, more like a vulture with a long scrawny neck.

Valdore too. The D7 neck is a little too thin for me.

Poor Oberth, it has distinctiveness, personality. The Danube is a brick. You chose poorly.
Anyway, for the latest, has to be the D7. More iconic, imposing of a silhouette.

I like the Nebula ... like a hunkered down wrestler.
But vote has to be for the iconic Klingon bird of prey - great image pick as it menacingly cloaks.
