The Parliament just feels like a more beautiful version of the Nebula - it is rather elegant while keeping that Galaxy-class kitbash feel, combined with a bit of Miranda in the square edges of the saucer and a smidge of Sovereign in the nacelles. Nebula just looks derpy by comparison
True, Nebula and Parliament have a bit different purposes. However, other than nacelles, they actually seem to be about the same size interior-wise (based on some very Memory Beta info).

Certainly better than the “you really should have quit designing starships while you were ahead” Oberth Class.
In the words of the wise doctor (and, funny enough, the Memory Alpha quote on the page for the class): “I didn’t spend 7 ing years on a g d** Oberth to get knocked down to station physician!”
Looks like the little ship that almost couldn’t.
Yo don’t disrespect ol’ Oberha
I know “infinite diversity in infinite combinations” is beautiful sentiment, but maybe dial it back when it comes to pick 'n mix starship designs. “It’s a whole new design! We run the nacelles right through the crew quarters, thus eliminating the need for an engineering hull!”
Ah yes, Ops tier Riker, goes well with Jr Lt Picard
Meanwhile in that timeline, the butterfly effect causes Harry Kim to pursue the command track; he graduates early in 2369. Then he:
- Becomes captain Vendome-style 2370
- Somehow does so well on his first command that he hits admiral in 2375
- Keeps worming up the admiral ranks
- Is tapped as head of Starfleet operations in 2378.
- Becomes Federation president in 2390 (all that Mars and Romulan crap sort of got butterflied out)
- Right near the end of his second term in 2398, he accidentally ascends to godhood.
- Maintains peace and order from a distance in the universe over the centuries.
- Becomes supreme master of the multiverse several millennia later (well, one of them, anyway. They have shifts, or at least the non-linear equivalent.). In his ultimate omnipotent Kim wisdom, he sends several “lesser” Kims the way of one William Boimler to aid him on his quest to save reality.
All hail Tapestry timeline Kim!
Okay but what about Nebula versus Galaxy class? I sort if like the compact design.
