All time favorite Starship/Spacecraft Design,,,, pick 10

I am still a big fan of the a Klingon Bird of Prey ;) I also remember when i was a kid that the Liberator from Blake 7 impressed me. Draconia 1 from Buck Rodgers i liked aswell. Oh and Commander Makara's Cruiser from Star Fleet X Bomber

My favourite sci-fi TV series was Babylon 5 and for me, this show to this day still had the most realistic depiction of what OUR vessels would actually look like if we ever really went out there.. ie: Big ungainly things that required rotating sections in order to create fake gravity. Here is one of the cruisers... Pay attention to its name.. may be a little chuckle for this board if you know what I mean... [img]http://archive.firstones.com/tp2b/babylon_project/2262_arrival.jpg[/img] Also, the Babylon 5 STAR FURY is probably the most realistic earth space "fighter" craft ever envisioned. Even NASA asked the shows creators for detailed models and renderings of it cuz it really flipped them out!!! But after these, I agree that the utilitarian EAGLES from Space 1999 were very good... again because they depicted a very realistic concept that we could probably achieve.

^^^^^ Sorry the resizing makes the name on the side fo the cruiser unreadable, but its... ACHERON

oh wow, awesome question. !!DISCLAIMER!!! if I'm all joe-joe the duck with the craft names, go easy people. my brother's the sci-fi ninja. Ok, to do proper justice here.... 1) Milleneum Falcon(robot chicken.."whats an aluminum falcon?") 2)Sulaco 3)Last starfighter(name escapes me) 4)Aliens Dropship(righteous) 5)Tie Interceptor(not shown enough) 6)Battlestar Galactica(whatever apollo flew) 7)Klingon Bird of Prey 8) the Enterprise(need I say more) 9)Robotech Valkries(I know cartoon, but still bitchin) 10)Super star destroyer(aka Palpatine's limo)

it was stolen off Silent running and you got ,,,MAY I BE OF ASSISTANCE, i forgot about that , that guy looked like my uncle back in the day

Good stuff snapper , FEW MINUTES ,,,,,,,,,,, i got all night

i dont know a lot about space ships so i only have a couple faves. the enterprise of course (TNG), the defiant from deep space 9... numerous random star trek alien ships (like the klingon bird of prey meantioned before) does a Gundam count as a space ship? lol if so i have some faves there. i like numerous other anime ships i wont even get into that. but gotta say [u]my fave is always going to be borg cubes and spheres.[/u] resistance is futile!! you will be assimilated!

i wish my wife would say that last part more often

In no particular order. Eagle Transport (Space:1999) Millennium Falcon (Star Wars) Nostromo (Alien) Tantive IV (Star Wars) Battlestar Galactica (BSG New Series) Sulaco (Aliens) The TARDIS (Dr Who Original Series) The Liberator (Blakes 7) Earthship ARK (The Starlost) in principle. Updated technology would make it cool. Leonov (2010)

nothing can beat serenity :D [img]http://www.infinitydish.com/tvblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/serenity1.jpg[/img]

also, i like the look of the new enterprise, yeah the movie was kind of bad, but it was better then the TNG movies and the look is still great i think :D

The ship that Blakes 7 "found" after the Liberator was destroyed was called Scorpio. @canadaphil totally agree about B5- way ahead of it's time- you have to look past the wooden acting (esp season 1) and slightly dogdy effects but the story over 5 seasons is outstanding..... Whitestar (B5) Millennium Falcon Minbari Cruiser (B5) Liberator (Blakes 7) Sulaco B Wing (ROTJ) Shadow vessel (B5) Tie Fighter Star Fury (B5) Super Star destoyer Executer (ESB)

Poor Alex Rogan and Grig, I cant beleive no body has mentioned the Gunstar... [img]http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~centauri/gunstar.jpg[/img]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I mentioned the "gunstar". I just didnt call it that! Now please, give me my "props in Oaktown".

@shawn what did you call it mate, I think I missed it? I see it now, my mistake....

The Enterprise Prometheus 1989 Batwing The Bird of prey 2012 Batwing The Apollo Capsule and Lunar Lander

@intothehive... Oh hellz yeah... We need to show some B5 luv. Hahaha. The younger punks have probably never even seen that show?? After the more realistic Earth Force Cruisers, I also liked ALL of the Alien race vessels which of course could be as wild as they wanted, because the Aliens could have any freaky tech. imaginable.. Anyway there is one other favourite.. the NARN G'Quan Heavy Cruiser... [img]http://images.wikia.com/babylon5/images/5/53/Narn_Cruiser.jpg[/img]

Super star destroyer (star wars) Pillar of autumn (halo) Prometheus (prometheus)

great thread, ncc...I love ALL the TIE designs: especially the TIE interceptor, and the "Darth Vader" Version of it, as well as the TIE bombers... the STar Trek I/II NCC1701 is awesome, IMHO... Loved the Cylon starfighters in BG...dunno why... I loved the B-Wing fighters and the Buck Rogers starfighters, the "Executor", and the X-Wing fighters.. never was a big Millenium falcon fan...too clunky and not streamlined...plus...asymmetrical, lol.. I'll post more when I think of 'em... man...great trip through memory lane! So many of the ones you guys mentioned I raved about and just loved when I was a kid...wow...great stuff!

1. Millenium Falcon 2. X-Wing Fighter 3. Nostromo 4. USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) 5. Space Battleship Yamato 6. Battlestar (original series) 7. Slave I 8. Discovery One ( XD-1 ) 9. Imperial Star Destroyer 10. Eagle Transporter

its cool the way alot of you are saying Prometheus , Myself, l`m really looking foward to see her coming in for a landing and get a view , and if any body spots a pre order for the model Kit ,Get it posted HERE

Ruet drops the Argo from star blazers on us. That's awesome. I totally agree.
