Choosing a Starfleet ship to command

Preferred Starfleet commands range from large flagships to a torpedo-equipped Nebula, with objections to the scale of Enterprise-J.

Question

What Starfleet ship would the panel most want to command?

Short answer

There is no shared choice: Sovereign, Galaxy, Enterprise-J, and a torpedo-equipped Nebula receive different reactions.

Notes

The command choices include Sovereign and Galaxy-class ships, a Dominion War-era Nebula, and the Enterprise-J. The Enterprise-J's enormous scale attracts objections to commanding what amounts to a city with universities aboard. A Nebula with a torpedo pod is preferred for a more specific combat role. Another participant would decline a Starfleet command altogether. The choices preserve different personal tastes rather than producing a shared favorite.
