I loved that ship. It was a bad ship but it really cool bad ship.

 

[BAYLOR]

The Super Swift from Space 1999.

 

[Dinosaur]

Babylon 5 Starfury with the Warlock a close second. Not that the giant squid look of Vorlon ships doesn't have a certain appeal.

 

[Ice fyre]

I loved the Eagles from Space 1999 as well. But I loved the Narn ships, very angular yet somehow majestic. The Earthforce ships always felt a bit jury rigged by comparison.

 

[BAYLOR]

The Trojan on Red Dwarf. What a cool looking spaceship , I loved the bridge setup too.

 

[Harpo]

I've searched every page, but can't find any mention yet of my fave. The Heart Of Gold.

Not sure on Fleetwood Mac but It is the title of a Neil Young song.

Different song I think, I can't remember the Title.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Only one spaceship, though... From Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, complete with Improbabilty Drive. Mice one, Harpo....

 

[BAYLOR]

Quite right.



Oh, and you were doing so well!

No, it's Commander Makara's "catfish in space" cruiser from Starfleet:

What an awesome ship, Id love to see this one on the big screen.

 

[Glitch]

I have a fondness for the police cars in Space Precinct.

Want the creature comforts, go with a Galaxy class ship. As a home, Serenity from Firefly has a certain affinity for me.

 

[BAYLOR]

Oh, oh, I forgot this one...

Great ship and terrific and underrated movie.

The ship drive system and it's hellish warp dimension reminds me of the set up they have in the Warhammer 40 K universe.

The Death Star

 

[spacepilotsshow]

I've always loved the design of Darth Maul's "Sith Infiltrator"

 

[BAYLOR]

I liked the Super Star Destroyer in Return of the Jedi

 

[spacepilotsshow]

Yeah, and the unfinished Death Star is so well-designed. It definitely evokes the feeling of an evil wizard tower from a fantasy story of some kind

 

[BAYLOR]

The Ambassador class Enterprise C
