Lost in Space The Jupiter 2

That one was cool.

 

[Eni6ma]

The Liberator. That is all...

The first one or second, I prefer the first ship!

 

[Eni6ma]

My current favorite ships are the Normandy (Mass Effect game), The Nesa Protector (Galaxy Quest movie), and from tv the Andromeda Ascendant

 

[Jo Zebedee]

The first one or second, I prefer the first ship!

I don't think there were two liberators, but could be wrong. There was a second ship, but it wasn't a liberator. (And yep, ship one was the cool one. Although Slave dying... Quiet sob.)

 

[Eni6ma]

My mistake, I believe the 2nd ship was called Slave I think!

And let's not forget this little beauty:

 

[Cathbad]

Meanest looking ship out thee, @Droflet !

 

[David M. Kelly]

Too many to mention - The Liberator, Slave, UFO Interceptors, USS Enterprise (esp. after the movie refit, but not the new Abrams version), Klingon Bird Of Prey, B5 Starfury, Gunstar, Cylon Raiders (new and old), the Orion shuttle (2001)...

 

[Joe Grech]

Serenity from firefly ranks highly.

The enterprise (all versions) just because.

From books (i know i know). Meatfucker from the Culture.

Funny, I tend to find the "bad guy's" ships better/cooler/more interesting than the "good" ones. It probably "says something" about my psychology

Or the psychology of the artists?

Or the psychology of the artists?

Sometimes the villains do have cooler looking spaceships.

If only just for the sleekness...

I'd forgotten Dark Star, thanks for the reminder

Doolittle: Hello, Bomb? Are you with me?
Bomb #20: Of course.
Doolittle: Are you willing to entertain a few concepts?
Bomb #20: I am always receptive to suggestions.

 

[reiver33]

Bombed-out in space with a spaced-out bomb....

Bomb #20: Of course.
Doolittle: Are you willing to entertain a few concepts?
Bomb #20: I am always receptive to suggestions.

And the moral of that story, When dealing with a self aware bomb, never teach it Philosophical concepts .

That's the cover of the copy of Triton I read. To be honest I thought the cover was a bit poor. Zero to do with the content of the book for a start!

"Zero to do," indeed -- but then, it's pretty hard to do justice to a Delany book with a cover...

 

[Rodders]

Lucy from Killjoys just made my list. The Manta design is pretty cool.

Quite. But a painting of the city in which most of it's set, or the Triton sky, or some such thing, would have looked just as fantastical and would have suited the book better.
