What's the best spaceship?

[Angus Young]

Millennium Falcon is probably the Ferrari of spaceships and the Enterprise was an Aston Martin but I always liked the TARDIS. It's the Mini Cooper of spaceships. What's your favourite?

[luvmysuper]

My favorite;

[Swampfox]

U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, closely follwed by the Firefly-class Serenity.

dr.zarkov's rocketship,with buster crabbe at the helm

For me it is the SDF-Macross.

Check out some Starship Dimensions here (http://www.merzo.net/).

[beginish]

The Borg Cube and the Cylon's fighters from 1970's vintage Battlestar Galactica were both pretty cool.

[chfair]

cowboy bebop ships. of which i do not currently have pictures of, i will remedy that soon.

[fifolo]

Space Ship Swinetrek

[kg4ghn]

The Millennium Falcon was more like an import tuner(Honda Civics, etc.) It was designed as a regular freighter and HEAVILY modified to be able to do the things it did.

[Wil Dorenbos]

[Dharion]

I really dig the 're-imagined' design of the NCC-1701.

[RichGem]

TARDIS (with broken camelion circut), ftw.

The Yamato or The Arcadia?

Yamato, baby. :thumbup1:

Or the Andromeda Ascendant.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/PZ93C/2888944825_3e0fc93133.jpg

Maybe the NSEA Protector.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/PZ93C/gq_000NSEAProtector.jpg

I don't know.

[bythbook]

Firefly-class ship Serenity.

[theperfectstorm]

Yamato was a bad ship.

[Vic Mackey]

Event Horizon

[csmorris]

Eagle transporter. No clue why, just always thought they were cool.

[Trey45]

You get an extra cupholder with that one?

You can close the thread now. The Slave 1 is the most purely awesome spaceship of all time.

But it has to be....

Boba Fett definitely has a cool ship. I would think that the whole landing on the back of the ship would get annoying after a while though.

Seeing as there have been several votes for Serenity, I thought I would add some eye candy:

It may not be the best, but the Jupiter 2 at least deserves a mention.

But I do agree that the redesigned NCC-1701 from the new Star Trek film has a very retro and cool look to it.

Minbari White Star, Babylon 5. Small, fast, capable of creating its own jumpgates for faster than light travel. Fun, eh?

[Agent8426]

Fake: The re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. I really want a model of it so I can scare off women.

Real: The Excelsior Gondola. It didn't get to space, but it was close enough for me, and Joseph Kittinger sky dived out of it at about 19 miles up.

[Jesus of Baghdad]

The Heart of Gold, the ship that ran on strong tea.

Good call with the Soviets. It's actually quite amazing how far mankind advanced during the cold war. Maybe we should have another one.:biggrin1:

[koso]

Interesting story about the race to collect German rocket scientists at the end of WWII. Both sides knew the cold war was coming and didn't want 'them' to get the space edge.

With that I go with Sputnik:

+1 I read the post earlier and was thinking of the nostromo also.. but was too lazy to find a decent picture. Maybe there's not many pictures around because it got vaporized in 1979.

[Prince]

How about the Imperial Shuttle.

I'm reminded of what Anthony Lane of The New Yorker said in his review of Epsiode III: Revenge of the Sith: "The general opinion of 'Revenge of the Sith' seems to be that it marks a distinct improvement on the last two episodes, 'The Phantom Menace' and 'Attack of the Clones.' True, but only in the same way that dying from natural causes is preferable to crucifixion."

Yes, because he was voiced by Orson Welles.

I believe that is not a pic of teh Nostromo, but rather of the refinery that the Nostromo was hauling.



And to add to the discussion, here's the Lexx. Not the best, but you gotta love planet destroying spaceships, especially ones that are giant bugs as well.

Although that Corvette oozes cool factor, it flies like caa-caa, and basically just drops from orbit.
