Favourite Spaceship design

how about the dropship "pelican" from halo doesnt it look cool

www.planetside-universe.com...

The Imperial Star Destroyer. What a gorgeous monstrosity!

Or the Death Star, even dafter but lovely to look at.

Peacekeeper Command Carriers were cute in their way.

The Discovery in 2001

But nothing stands up to the wonder of daftness that is a Borg Cube, sooo stylish! And very teenage for some reason.

Mm the Imperial Super Star destroyer for me,the the USS Prometheus from Star Trek Voyager..the one that splits into several different sections...

I may be dating myself here but I've always liked the Eagles from Space 1999. Out of all of these I think that it may be possible to build one in the near future.

Well I have laways liked aerodinamic ships, although i is pointless in space...

My favourite will have to be Enterprise E from ST TNG Movies...

I like the Asgard ships from Stargate and Cylon Raider from BSG (new series)

I always get confused of how the Vipers get back into the hangar after dock. Anyone know how?

I can explain that,
They enter the side ports, where they either magnetically, or using simulated gravity, stay on the ground.
At that point the side pods close up, and then the vipers are off screen.


Then they cut to a scene where you see the vipers in the hangar.


Ooooh, you wanted to know how they would do that in REAL life...
that I dont have an answer to.

I remember the show with that future ship in it That thing was bad #$$ its main lasers just shot right through ships like their sheilds werent even there.

If I remember correctly a Older Riker was her captain

Vorlon ships look like something you would find with a microscope. LOL.

Im just doing this for I can get it back into myATS
b/c it got erased and accident.

Both from stargate

Also the Warship voyager but i cant find a piccy of it

One of my all time favorites is the Millenium Falcon from Star Wars-Very fast and very good looking IMHO!





Next, The Ebon Hawk from Star Wars: KOTR.



I also like the Serenity from the TV show Firefly.



But you just can't beat the Enterprise-1701-A for style, speed and power!

I like this one:

I remember how at age 13 how disappointed I was after seeing "BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS" starring "John-Boy" Richard Thomas. The worst part was how I couldn't look at this ship without laughing. There's something obscene about it that I can't put my finger on.

My favorite ship has to be the Millenium Falcon. Not the prettiest but does the job when needed (like a lot of the cars I've owned).

Coolest has to be the Darth Vader's TIE fighter. I'd be shakin' too if I saw that thing in my rear view mirror... "Almost there, almost there, then boom!"

The one that I love the most is the Apollo Rocket. Simply an incredible piece of machinery. Amazing what people can do and without computers!

BTW - How did some of you post your images directly? I can only seem to post links to the external images. Thanks.

I use Photobucket and others for hosting.

Wow, where is that one from? It's awesome!!!

*Starts saving up*

Andromeda, a decent enough science fiction series but not as good as the other big names in science fiction but good enough to watch.

The Liberator, Blakes 7.

Admittedly, with the budget the BBC gave the series, it was made from a coke bottle and some duct tape, but as a seven-year old, it made an impression on me!

*Plus* the theme tune was the best ever. Period.

TD

PS These days, those, has to be Galactica. Although Pegasus looks nastier.
