Favourite Spaceship design

I always liked the designs of my own star ships drew awhile ago. They were much better looking to me than those of Babalon 5 and Lex. Simply because I made them.

The Angelwing from the Windows game called Nexus. It's a beautiful space ship. Unfortunately I can't find any good pictures of it.

Just gotta love this one. Good 'ol USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), from Star Trek - The Original Series.

Hammerhead from Space: Above and Beyond

I never got into Babylon 5; it seemed kind of "cheap" to me. I also haven't gotten into Stargate nor the new Battlestar Galactica.

I really liked FarScape, although I originally thought I'd hate it.

Oh...for my vote, it goes to the Klingon Negh'Var (sp?) battlecruiser

Eclipse-Class Super Star Destroyer

It had everything...Plus I broke both of the X-Wings my mom bought me growing up. The Falcon never broke down could fly into the middle of the 2nd Death Star and still hold up. End of Discussion.

For brute strength: BSG 75 from the new series. I swear that thing could plow through an asteriod field and survive. And the firepower is over the top.

For technology: The Voyager or Andromeda.

For nostalgia: Space: 1999 Eagles. Model building for that show was ahead of its time.

For attack capability: Reman Warbird Scimitar - obliteration defined with the righ Capt. in her.

For design: STNG NCC-1701E looks like something that could possibly exist someday.

Actually theres too damn many I like to favourite any out. I like them all for different reasons really....they all have a special niche.

The SDF-1 from Robotech.... It's not just a star cruiser...it's a Transformer!



Unless you prefer your space sci-fi to actually have, ya know, space battles in it...vs. West Wing in space.... I'll take the old Starbuck and Apollo anytime, but maybe I'm just nostalgic....

...I agree with Gazrok ...The SDF 1

...Yeh!... Love that Japanimation mecha...!

My choice for personal fighter...

surbrook.devermore.net...

My personal favorites are the Original Cylon Raider and the Space 1999 Eagle. Both look like they could exist. It wouldn't surprise me if the Eagle could be built nowadays.

Besides Star Trek, Space 1999 had the coolest:

I still have the diecast model I bought back in the 70's!
