Your pick for the greatest space vehicle design in history

[Sector 7]

Enterprise-D!

(btw, this is my first post)

Welcome to our world! Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable. We don't bite... much!

Vader's shuttle Tyderium gets the vote from me. I remember seeing that thing fold up it's wings just as it landed. I have never seen anything do that before. It completely blew my mind.

My heart, though, goes out to NCC-1701...the original.

I still like Voyager the best, sleek, fast and can land on planets/moons...

I was also amazed when I saw the wings fold on Tyderium. It was the first SW model I ever built. I proudly let it be displayed at the local hobby shop.

For aesthetic reasons alone, the Liberator from Blake's 7. So good JMS shamelessly copied it for the Excalibur in Crusade.

Well, to be honest the shape of the Liberator looks far too similar to Thunderbird 3, which gets my vote

 

[T'Girl]

Loved the thunderbirds, really cool when the trees would fold down as the the fat green one taxi out.

 

[Agenda]

Star Destroyers are pretty damn cool.

 

[Polgara]

I liked the ship in Firefly.

No great love for Vipers here, I see.

The original/refit/Nu Enterprise for me, followed closely by the Discovery.

 

[SFRabid]

I have to go with the citi-ships in SG Atlantis.

The original/refit/Nu Enterprise for me, followed closely by the Discovery.

In the face of such clear & decisive photographic evidence, I see no logic to any argument against the choice of the pictured ship as the pinnacle of futuristic space vehicle design.

There's something very practical and realistic about the Miranda Class Defiant. One hull - two engines ... Let's fly!!!

I get the feeling some were indirectly voting for their favorite sci-fi franchise via this poll. I voted for Ent-D (ST:TNG is not my favorite sci-fi franchise).

I chose the original 1701, but several ships of note were left out, in particuar the Klingon D7 battlecruiser and the Eagles from Space: 1999. Those two ships are almost as recognizable as the 1701.

I've always liked the Eagles from Space: 1999

I noted one of them.

 

[Pemmer Harge]

The Vorlon ships were strange and wonderful.

Honourable mention to the White Star, which was part-Vorlon part-Minbari. That was a great ship, and a great set as well.

Yeah, I noticed that you noticed , but still, it was left off the list while other, less recognizable ships were on it. I personally think the Eagles were a brilliant design, and were totally believable as spacecraft (although some of the things they did on the show were not).

Kinda, but for an angelic race they sure picked a lousy color scheme. The paint jobs looked like someone threw up on the hull and smeared it around.
