WHAT Are Your Favorite Spaceships from Movies And Television?

[Joey]

the millenium falcon, obviously

 

[Rodders]

I enjoy the Star Trek aesthetic where all the ships follow a similar design template, but my favourite is the TMT style ships.

 

[AE35Unit]

The USS Voyager from Star Trek is one of my favorites.

Ah, the toilet seat...

 

[AE35Unit]

Yeah, starships should be able to land on a planet if it is technologically possible.

Otherwise there's no point in it being streamlined

How could I not find an old thread and One Created. My god Im getting old.

 

[Robert Zwilling]

Not necessarily, seems like most people today are performing at reduced standards as if they were older. Its just a sign of the times. Forgetfulness is everywhere. Probably helps to reduce tension.

 

[THX1138]

I always up my threads into my Watch list. That way, I can find the fast.

 

[Ulera]

Without a doubt it has to be the Liberator from Blake's 7.

You obviously haven't read the Lensman books of E.E. Doc Smith.

I read the first one, that was enough for me

Possibly at the end of that one, or certainly in the second one they were talking of making tear-drop shaped space ships, for less friction in space and therefore better acceleration.
He did rather labour the point over the course of the rest of the series.

Incidentally, it did get better after the first book, but don't rush back to it, if it didn't already grab you.

 

[AE35Unit]

To be honest the tear drop shape isn't the ideal shape aerodynamically.

Never heard of Traveller? Was it a card trading game or a computer game?

 

[AllanR]

Traveller was a pen and paper role playing game.

Back in the 80s I used to play the GURPS version of Traveller. I think I still have the books somewhere.

Nothing like Gamma World ?

Nothing at all like Gamma World. The game setting is far future on the fringe of massive space empire with a nearby alien races having their own empire. You could play pirates, merchants, mercenaries, politics.... I did play a post apocalyptic game though, one called Aftermath!

A friend of mine has created a game called Gramma World (for your post retirement adventures) DriveThruRPG

Re: Traveller, here's the link to the main forum page with links there directly to the main game's main developer. It originally came out in 1977.
