10 Worst Ever Starships In Star Trek

4. Kelvin Bird-Of-Prey

The Klingon Bird-of-Prey that appears in Star Trek Into Darkness started life at a disadvantage. It was the successor to one of the most enduring, popular designs of ships from the entire franchise. Following the Bird-of-Prey introduced in The Search For Spock was never going to be an easy feat.

Its size was the first black mark against it. These ships are clearly small fighters, closer in scale to a Maquis raider or Peregrine-class fighter. The most recognisable elements - the swept-out wings, rising to facilitate landing - looked crooked, almost held together with hope, rather than steel.

The frenetic nature of its introduction did it no favours, nor did the scenes that followed. Without any further scenes giving the audience a better appreciation for the design, it was left to commercially available models to get a good look at it. 

It's by no means awful - it's simply there.
