I was gonna say MY Fer-de-lance. That thing is so fun to fly around and wreck shit in.

There's a lot of ships I like in sci-fi, but the one that comes to mind at the moment is the garfish-class cruiser in robotech

Or if we're talking about real spacecraft here, I like the soyuz (and really the whole r-7 derived rocket family to be honest), as I like the look of it's side boosters and the four engine bells on each engine

The Rocinante is an obvious pick.

I also really like the ships in Starfield, mainly because I'm a cassette futurism shill.

Space Battleship Yamato, original model

Serenity. Just the nicest "home" you can keep flying.

Hard sci-fi: The Rocinante

Floppy sci-f: The A-Wing

I'll pick the Bowie from Guardians of the Galaxy.

It's a fast ship that can flown solo, but also comfortably carry six people with their own quarters. It's fast, can cloak itself and defend itself from anything it can't outrun or hide from.

I don't want a big starship that needs a big crew to fly. But, I don't want a small ship that can't carry guests.

The Slave I

Sorry I meant: Boba Fett's Ship πŸ™ƒ

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

How the fuck could they not even give it a new name?! One of my favorites as well.

Certainly not the Event Horizon 😈

β€œI’ll take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance, and then I will launch TAC missiles at the Event Horizon until I'm satisfied she's vaporized. Fuck this ship!”

I don't have any spaceships. Thanks for reminding me. 😩

The Yggdrasill from Hyperion.

The one from The Fountain was kinda similar. It was unique enough to stick with me over the years anyway.

I don't know if Ringworld really counts as a ship but I loved that too. The Out Of Band 2 from A Fire Upon The Deep seemed like it would be pretty baddass. Or the alien ship from Rendezvous with Rama.

Since Roci is everywhere...

Do Gundam count? Aerial or Quiet Zero are pretty baller

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's "favorite," not "OP," so sure. I like the ST film Birds of Prey, just for sheer awesome aesthetic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Rebel Blockade Runner, mostly because it's the first ship you really see in A New Hope and my first interaction with the Star Wars franchise as a kid in the early 90s.

Discovery (2001) and Leonov (2010).

Or, from system shock 2, the Von Braun and the Rickenbacker.

... you know what, they're spaceships, so all of them.

R-Gray 1, RayStorm (1997) - Mostly laser by weight.

I always liked the Nostromo's design.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I have real soft spots for the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels and the Normandy from Mass Effect.

For the Ghost though, I really love its strange shape, the WW2 bomber tail gun, and the attached shuttle. It's both so typically Star Wars and yet still new.

Despite the many, many problems with the show, I'd say The Lexx.
