I'm sure this has been done before but what the hell. What is your favourite sci-fi ship? I'll start off with mine, the Millennium Falcon. Loved Star Wars since the age of 3 and liked this ship the most! Used to have this toy with all the figures. The Galaxy Class is by far my favourite Trek ship but it would have to be number 2 on my list. Top 3 would be 1.Millennium Falcon 2.Galaxy Class - Enterprise D 3.Galactica - New series
As much as I love Star Trek ships, I have a soft spot for Serenity. And I loved Prometheus from the movie Prometheus.
I can see a mod warping this to the Gernal Sci-Fi sub-forum. But I suppose for ultimate practaility aside from a slight navigation issue it has to be the TARDIS.
1. TOS Enterprise 2. Refit Enterprise 3. USS Reliant 4. The Millennium Falcon 5. 1701-D Enterprise 6. 1966 Batmobile 7. Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey 8. USS Constellation from The Doomsday Machine 9. Space Cruiser C-57D from Forbidden Planet 10. Eagle from Space 1999
Trek: The Enterprise D, in spite of its tacky 80s decor. I just like its smooth lines. General sci-fi: Andromeda Moya (Farscape) Whitestar (B5) X-wing fighter (SW) TARDIS (Doctor Who) Excalibur (Crusade)
Trek: This is really hard, but its probably between the Enterprise-A, Defiant, Nebula class and the Freedom-Class (I don't care if its only on screen appearance was in the Wolf 359 aftermath, I like its one-nacelle design). Other Sci Fi: TARDIS Serenity Victory Class Star destroyer Battlestar Galactica (from the newer series)
My favorite ships would have to be: 1. Pillar of Autumn *Halo* 2. Andromeda 3. Anakin Solo *Star Wars Darth Caedus* Those 3 are just epic.
Yes, nu-Galactica was way past her prime when the Cylons attacked the colonies, but remember that she was about to be decommissioned and turned into a museum.
For clean lines and instant visual distinctiveness, Matt Jeffries' designs are still unexcelled. For cool factor and as a kind of direct visual shorthand of good and evil, the classic Star Wars designs -- the Rebel and Imperial ships of the original trilogy -- are still great. Among less widely known designs, my favorites are the ships from the Homeworld video game series:
