Top 3 Favorite Non-Trek Spaceships

[Asbo Zaprudder]

Star Trek not allowed!

Three was a hard cut, several of the things others have picked would be in my top ten.

Right - I'll pick the Rocinante off The Expanse instead. Post fixed. Not sure why I picked the Defiant given the stated parameters - brain fart probably.

Klaatu's spaceship

5th Element - Zorg's spaceship

Super Dimensional Fortress Macross

Could you idenify these please? I'm pretty sure the first is the Jupiter 2 from the original Lost in Space, but I don't recognize the other two.

Just small craft this time. I'll do the big boys and girls later. In no particular order ...

SA-23E Starfury

Earth Thunderfighter

Type-0 Cosmo Zero space fighter

The last two aren't coming up for me.

1. Jupiter 2 from Lost in Space
2. A Mongo rocket ship from Flash Gordon
3. Nell from Battle Beyond the Stars

Millenium Falcon
Serenity
Prometheus (from the movie Prometheus)

you didn't get to see much of the interior (which is what I'm mostly judging on). The

damn you 1970s BBC sci-fi budgets

I would have liked it if some-one had done some designs for the Liberator from the re-imainged B7 series (with the ship being much larger then depicted in the original series).

I re-posted with different pics, they seem to be coming through now.

1. Moya from Farscape, the idea of a real living ship is just too good not to like. I also just love the design of her with the sweeping lines and organic shape.

2. Jupiter 2 from Lost In Space, yeah which version you say. All of them. I love the 60s TV version just a shame they never got the bloody scale right except for those few scenes when you see the space pod exit and leave the ship from the bottom, right there the model is in the proper scale.

Just this is such an iconic bit of TV I love the ship but geez Louise they never did get the scale right.

3. The Raza from Dark Matter.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Discovery One (2001)

Any High Guard ship from Andromeda. Not necessarily because of the ships themselves, I just like the names. Andromeda had THE coolest ship/class names I've ever heard, like "Victory's Crucible" (Marine troop transport), "Glorious Heritage" (the Andromeda itself), "Righteous Fist of Heaven" (attack cruiser), "Four Freedoms" (cargo transport), etc.

The Draconian flagship from Buck Rogers. Now THAT was badass.

Moya - Farscape
The White Star - Babylon 5
The main ship from Stargate Atlantis (I forgot the name, as I've only seen the series once).

 

[Qonundrum]

Liberator, Scorpio, and TARDIS

 

[JD]

1. Jupiter 2 from Lost in Space
2. A Mongo rocket ship from Flash Gordon
3. Nell from Battle Beyond the Stars

OK, I thought the first one might be the Jupiter 2, but there are so saucer shaped ships like that, I wasn't positive.
I've seen Battle Beyond the Stars, but I don't remember much, so I'm not surprised I didn't recognize that one.

I re-posted with different pics, they seem to be coming through now.

Yeah, those ones I see now.

1. Jupiter 2 from Lost in SpaceStars

I love all the extra information on that page........ So even in the 60s version the technology for the ship was stolen from crashed aliens.

I'm not an expert on Lost in Space, so I can't say what the original series had to say on the subject, but on that web page that backstory is attributed to the comic book Voyage to the Bottom of the Soul, written by Bill Mumy.

I know..

I don't think show writers would have thought that far ahead when writing the show back then, that was all Bill Mumy's idea but I liked the story because it gave us more information the TV show didn't bother with. It would explain how Earth in the TV show did know about aliens, or how their robot was programed with galactic law which is something in a later season which is just thrown out there but never explained.

 

[F. King Daniel]

The Cygnus from Black Hole

Atlantis from Stargate Atlantis

The Death Star

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Ooh forgot about the Cygnus that's a lovely ship, and an actual model shame it got destroyed in filming.

 

[Orac Zen]

The Liberator - Blakes 7
Moya - Farscape
The White Star - Babylon 5

All these are superior to any Trek ship (well, except maybe the Enterprise-D). I'm sure it's also a complete coincidence that these ships are from my three favourite SF series ever.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

Rocinante from The Expanse
Moya - from Farscape
TARDIS - from Doctor Who
