Best spaceship?

[nemogbr]

Actually...how about the Shadow vessels from Babylon 5? Actually scary looking ships.

Loved the TIE fighters in Star Wars as well - a very original shape.

Not sure about the Shadow vessels as they don;t seem to want the pilot to leave...lol

As for the TIE.....hmmmnn I'd rather go for Boba Fett's Slave 1.

Then if it could be enabled with a device similar to a cross dimensional drive or paratime drive? Something along the lines of Heinlein's "number of the beast" I could go exploring the multiverse.....bawwaaa hahaahahah.

Perhaps Slave 1 would be better as it isn't as fussy as the Millenium Falcon and may be able to take more of a beating.

Paratime drive? Whatever that is, it sounds interesting.

Some of my favourite books

Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen and the Complete Paratime. - H. Beam Piper

Number of the Beast - Heinlein

Ah, I love my spaceships...and my monsters...!

Has there ever been a sexier spaceship than the one at the start of "Planet of the Apes"?

Runner-ups:-
United Planets Cruiser C57D (from "Forbidden Planet")
the Martian spaceships from "War of the Worlds"
the bronze-coloured spaceships in "Women of the Prehistoric Planet"

Can we include spaceships from old comics??
- the "H"-shaped space station & the way-cool spacemobiles from those classic old "Space Family Robinson" comics
- the Mars exploration ship from the comic "Planet of the Vampires"

Plus all the others already mentioned...the Liberator...the Enterprise (from original series)...etc...hell yeah!

TARDIS - Time and Relative Dimension in Space.

Now was there a more AWESOME in capability than these ships?

Klingon K'vort class cruisers (think BIG Bird of Prey)
Romulan D'Deridex class heavy cruiser
Enterprise (all marques incl NX-01)
Star of David shaped ships from short "Jews in Space" (at end of History of the World Pt.1)
Defiant class ship (DS9)
White Star
Andromeda

Millenium falcon definately has to get my vote.

Slave 1 from Attack of the Clones impressed me. i love those seismic charges (even if they are impossible, that twanggggg when they exploded was awesome)

I have always been a huge fan of the Nostromo in Alien. it just a huge, lumbering industrial machine

from my own writings, I made up a vehicle called the cuttlefish. Appropriately enough, it looks and moves like a giant, silver cuttlefish. They can maneuver through space and air like a cuttlefish can through water. They are armed with an emp, the requisite energy guns, and can emit a cloud of nanotech machine that are in reality, tiny robotic bombs. It sprays a cloud at an enemy vessel (or in front of it), the machines are able to determine if the ship is enemy or freind, and if it is enemy, they crawl into any gaps they find, then explode, destoying the integrity of the ship, if not outright blowing it apart

*insert evil grin*

Long Live the Empire and the Star Destroyers that support it

Apart from that... hmmm, I'd say the Andromeda seems like a cool ship with a charming personality . But me being a guy, I may be biased on that one...

oops. i actually wanted to mention MOya from Farscape as well.

 

[nemogbr]

No one seems to have mentioned the city sized ship of "The Authority".

Darn it, I've now forgotten the name as well. Does it even have a name?

I wouldn't mind having one of those......bwahh hhaa hahahha

 

[Hypes]

I agree, the Heart of Gold is the coolest ship of them all.

Thank you for making a simple door very happy!

Infinity, minus one.

 

[polymorphikos]

Definitely the command-carriers from Farscape. Not only do you get a ship the size of a fair-sized asteroid, but an army of zealots and the coolest space-fighters ever - the Prowlers. Incidentally, they're showing the last episode of Farscape the week and I'm getting very emotional during the build-up. Why do the good shows always die young?

 

[Vodstok]

Because quality COSTS money, but crap like stargate sg1 makes money.....


sorry, farscape getting cancelled is a sore spot with me.

 

[polymorphikos]

They will pay. Oh, yes, they will pay....
BWAHAHAHAAA!!!!!
*summons a jinn and is devoured. curses self for not paying the extra $2.50 for a full-strength binding charm. languishes in hell.*

What's wrong with Stargate? I like that show, although I haven't been watching as much as I used to.

 

[The Master™]

The Nostromo was a good ship...

So was Enterprise-E...

Nothing wrong with Event Horizon (in the horror film of the same name)...

The Protector from Galaxy Quest was quirky...

Moya from Farscape and Tin Man from Star Trek: TNG were living ships...

[LensmanZ313]

Slave-1. That's my choice.

 

[Maryjane]

I invent my own ships
What about a ship that looks like Andromeda that uses a contained micro black hole to power the ship and uses temperal inferance for propulssion traveling through the time stream and oppening rifts in the interdimentional membrane warping the time space continuum creating a time loop so when you come out on the other side of the univers the time and day onboard the ship would remain the same as during departure. I got another one I call a quantum level puddle jumper to but that's another story.
I like both Andromeda and Star gate, especially Oniel, reminds me a bit of Master. And Tyr on Andromda, ou, la, la, rock on baby!

The Porter ? Not sure it's a real ship, more of a space station able to stand around different versions of Earth.
To stay in comics world, I'll vote for Lina Cheney as best space transporter. Who need a space ship when this girl can take you to the next galaxy in the blink of an eye ?
And for a ship to cruise around, the Heart of Gold - but with a classic kettle and a good supply of Darjeeling, as it's seems nearly impossible to have tea on his deck.
