What is sci fi's most beautiful spaceship?

[wamdue]

The Andromeda Ascendant.

I 3rd that, say what about like about the show, but the ship was beautiful, that is before I start on the uniforms & Rommie.

 

[Lindley]

I'm honestly not sure about the most beautiful ship overall, but I know what my favorite beauty shot is.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

That alien vessel that appeared in a late season (s4?) of Farscape was very beautiful - like a string of pearls that could break apart or coalesce together. Moya was also beautiful.

As for alien aesthetics, I like the Cardassian look the best. Maybe not so much starships as interiors.

 

[RAMA]

The Minbari ships from B5 are beautiful

Say what you want about ST: Insurrection, but the S'ona ships were beautiful!

The Dauntless from ST Voyager

Both of these:

The ugliest?? Some of the DS9 kitbashes and of course, Serenity...probably the ugliest!

 

[DigificWriter]

I'm gonna say the Firefly-class Serenity, especially the 'redesigned' version we see in the film 'Serenity'. There's just something really, really beautiful about watching the ship fly, especially when it's cruising through the 'black' with its 'tail' aglow.

TMP Enterprise refit.

 

[Orintho]

- Klingon BOP

- Vorlon Ship

- Original Enterprise

Here's a vote for the Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Star Trek - Insurrection does have some cool ships, so does the battle scene in Star Trek - First Contact

 

[darkwing_duck1]

My gut says the Connie (either version), but I have to admit the Soverign-class is really good as well.

I think special mention also should go to the Mercury-class battlestar (the 'new' Pegasus).

Hey Darkwing duck

When is volume 3 coming out?

 

[Rii]

Naboo N-1 from Star Wars: Episode I

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

-USS Enterprise (Refit, no bloody letters)
-Enterprise-D
-NSEA Protector
-SSV Normandy
-Kushan Mothership
-Anything of Nubian manufacture from the Star Wars Prequels

 

[roguephoenix]

in no particular order:

enterprise d
andromeda
moya
cylon basestar (i dunno i like it >_<)
jean grey's phoenix ship thing before she was stupidly killed in morrison's run.

 

[Janus VI]

Smartship Friday

 

[D Man]

I'd go with the Enterpise-D. I've always had a soft spot for the Galaxy class, and was bummed when they killed the D too soon in Generations. (SHOOT BACK AND YOU'LL WIN, RIKER!!! )

 

[Andrew_Kearley]

The Liberator from Blakes 7. It's like a gothic fantasy castle in space, all turrets and spires.

 

[JuanBolio]

The Original Enterprise.

Nothing before or since, not even the refit, has surpassed her.

Word.

I'm also pretty fond of this:

And these:

And the more classic and realistic designs:

 

[diankra]

The Liberator from Blakes 7. It's like a gothic fantasy castle in space, all turrets and spires.

Another vote for Liberator - particularly the very first shot of her, in episode two, where she practically glows, almost like something out of black and white film noir...

 

[Lonemagpie]

Refit Enterprise. I love a lot of Trek ships, but Millennium Falcon and Serenity are probably my next favorites.

Those two are cool, but surely not beautiful...

And I'll add the Enterprise E to my previous list of the Refit and Liberator
