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

1. Normandy - I feel like it's my own [img]http://zombiegamer.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/mass-effect-normandy1.jpg[/img] 2. Myrmidon (from EVE) [img]http://www.ravestats.com/public/fen/0_27012010114815mymidon_1.jpg[/img] 3. Dream chaser - an orbital space plane currently in development [img]http://www.geekosystem.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/800px-Dream_Chaser_and_the_International_Space_Station-550x355.jpg[/img] 4. Nebuchadnezzar - not a spaceship but it's awesome [img]http://features.cgsociety.org/newgallerycrits/g43/446343/446343_1292124141_large.jpg[/img] 5. And the last but not the least... [img]http://www.toplessrobot.com/prometheus4.jpg[/img]

2001 Discovery for its accuracy. Although the centrifuge was too small to be viable, it did present this mode of artificial gravity for the first time in SciFi. I also liked the ship's "spine" as a store house for the systems consumables. They did their homework on this one.

I find most spaceship designs ugly, but a couple I like: Swordfish II - Cowboy Bebop [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J75vM97Twi4/TMb5JDZ8bKI/AAAAAAAAASU/_FV-fdtYzts/s1600/swordfish-ii_400.jpg[/img] Vic Viper - Gradius game series [img]http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/9/2008/01/medium_gradius_ii_vic_viper.jpg[/img] Any fan of spaceships needs to check out EVE Online. That games has a Stars Wars universe quantity of ships. http://www.eveonlineships.com/eve-ships-list.php

Does anyone remember Starhunter?

interdimensional/space ships from Buckaroo Banzai....ok, the derelict

Anybody mention Jupiter1 from lost in space?

I know I already posted on this thread but, one spacecraft(and pilot) deserves honorable mention. gotta be the un-named A-wing pilot from I believe ROTJ. He's doing his thing, flying around, kicking arse when he gets hit and then corkscrews at full throttle into a Star Destroyer's command deck. straight up, galactic-kamikaze style. what a way to go.

@..XENOWHAT,, no one did l dont how i, or any one else forgot that one .............. I have this Kit ready to build when ever i get around to it

Great thread guys. My 2 cents: 1. The Derelict (Prometheus) 2. Slave 1 (Star Wars) 3. Imperial Shuttle (Star Wars) 4. Tie Fighter (Star Wars) 5. Space Shuttle (NASA) 6. Bird of Prey (Star Trek IV) 7. Enterprise E (Star Trek TNG) 9. Transporter (Contact) 10. Spock's Ship (Star Trek Reboot) 11. Icarus II (Sunshine) Sorry, I couldn't shorten it to ten.

Wow! Nobody's mentioned the X-wings from Star Wars?!! Personal favorite BTW. I mean if you could have a ship or in this case a Starfighter is perfect, it's small enough to fit in most places ( garage or hangar) can travel faster than light and it has weapons!! Now where do a get dang R2 unit?

@ Xenophobia Saved that one for you ..Right on

Ah the SR1 Normandy @ Flexer. I'm more partial to the SR2 Normandy II. If they ever get around to do a Mass Effect movie one can only hope it looks as good as Prometheus or has a great director like Sir Scott.

Yes indeed Ncc 1701 thanks, I mean the X- Wing's shape is Iconic and on another note as your moniker implies to me the best will always and forever be the Enterprise from the motion picture.

The Normandy SR1 SR2 and SSV SR2 seen as I have been it's commander for an odd 5 years. [img]http://www.myfreewallpapers.net/games/wallpapers/mass-effect-normandy-sr1.jpg[/img] The Prometheus.

.... Dormin the The Reaper Sovereign, looks cool

Size comparions of various craft from a variety of sci-fi shows and movies: http://www.st-minutiae.com/misc/comparison/

see this before a few years back , this is cool , love this as a poster

Sovereign is the Vanguard of the entire Reaper Fleet/Race there are thousands of them, possibly millions.

Well maybe not millions actually, I wasn't thinking about the math when I said that.

No love for the "Corsair Star Cruiser" flown by John-Boy? Maybe I'm reading too much into it....but to me its in Giger territory for "suggestiveness".... [img]http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u44/lespaul_photos/battlebeyond1.jpg[/img] And guess who worked on this movie...

I don't know if this ship has been mentioned, but I like it. The movie, Spacehunter, is well below mediocre. I saw the movie recently and cringed at Molly Ringwald's incesant whining. [img]http://teleport-city.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2001/02/spacehunter04.jpg[/img]

I'm still suprised no one else listed the Swinetrek!

@Cyber_Clone lol , I had to look this up .....

Swinetrek! I remember it well ! one of the few that i dont think will make a comeback !

My fave, Descent's [url=http://images.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=pyro+gx]Pyro GX[/url].

@Gehirn ,,had to look that one up Cool Design ........ Thanks

USS Kelvin ??.......... thats to new for a old guy

i wish i could post pics like that ,,i need to get my.. I T, bud around ..stay tune Later

LOL I loved the new Trek Film and thought it was the best thing to Happen to Star Trek since the Original Series. And not just the design on a couple of the ships but I thought the story was SUPERB and the whole thing had the feel of an original T.V. series episode while still feeling like a Mega Major Motion Picture, the acting was fantastic, and the pace & ambiance of that film IMO were stellar.
