Yeah, Serenity may be beautiful in context, but there's a reason it's also known as "The Plucked Parrot".
Serenity looks best when you see her in Malcoms eyes.As always, "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder.

The Naboo royal cruiser. All chrome flying wing, and sounds like a techno-B-29

Too bad it blows up not too long from that scene
Serenity and the Millenium Falcon are surely tempting to list, but I did my best to separate "beautiful" from "sentimental love."
I think the Defiant makes for a lovely upgrade on the Falcon's overall look. And I'll add my voice to the love expressed for Moya's elegant form.
I liked the original Taelon Mothership - the transparent one from the first season. The redesign wasn't nearly as cool. Taelon shuttles were also a really nifty looking design.

Very nicely put!
That's what I've been trying to do, but even then it's not easy. Different people use different criteria to identify inanimate - and even animate - objects as possessing beauty. But I get your point and think it's in line with the OP
s original request.
Here's where we disagree, because I've never DS9's "Defiant" to be particularly aesthetic. Reminds me more of a snub-nosed revolver.
And here's where I agree with you wholeheartedly!
I had to go back and review some pictures from the series to remind myself of the ship's design... and that is definitely something I'd call "beautiful." Its beauty lies largely in the effervescent nature of the hull. Of course, that tended to remind me of the alien beings from "The Abyss".

If Serenity ever fought a White Star, it would look like a cock fight.
I like the Enterprise refit, but for me, I think the Minbari Cruisers just squeeze in as slightly more beautiful.
Well, I just watched it again, and I have to say the mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind is serious competition for most beautiful spaceship.
It helps that I get all teary eyed at the end of the movie

TrueThe "Collecter's Edition" is you want to get technical. Can't say I see the need to see the inside of the Mothership.
Yeah, I know. I was just funnin'. When "Close Encounters..." was on TV recently, my wife & I were musing about that scene. Pretty much agreed that although it was rather amazing in imagery, it wasn't really necessary. In a way, it detracts from the ending. If the last sight the viewer has of Neery is his entering the ship, it's as if you are right there witnessing the event yourself. Left with a mystery.
