    What's your favorite ship/vessel from the sci-fi fantasy realm?

    My number one is the Millennium Falcon (still). It has both the incredible nostalgia and a brilliant design. I love the way it looks and it's instantaneously recognizable.

    My number 2 is the Ishimura from Dead Space. I don't know why, but I love that ship. It's not that original but still really cool. I like it's "planet cracking" capabilities.

    My number 3 is the escape ship the Junkions gave to Kup and Hot Rod in TTM. A giant cork-screw ship is a pretty cool idea. Probably not very aerodynamic, but awesome looking.

    What's some of yours?

    For me also, hands down the Fastest Hunk o'Junk in the Galaxy. It's the only thing about Episode VII that I'm actually looking forward to.

    Millennium Falcon is #1

    I do like the Defiant in Star Trek: DS9. Of course it was pretty much the Millennium Falcon of that series.

    The Battlestar Pegasus from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series. It's design was pretty neat, and it had some awesome tech. My second favorite would have to be a Covenant CSO class Supercarrier, purely based on the sheer size and power of it.

    As much as I love Star Trek and Star Wars, my favorite space cruiser of all time will still be the Argo, from Star Blazers. The thought of a space battleship bristling with guns and cannons, plus a star fighter wing and an ultra-powerful Wave Motion Gun captured my imagination like nothing else at an early age and I still recall it fondly.

    Top 3:

    SSV Normandy SR2 (in Alliance colours)

    [​IMG]

    Staging ground of Commander Shepard, home to EDI and Joker, and the birthplace of the greatest team of legends Citadel space has ever known.


    USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E

    [​IMG]

    A true ship of the line, commanded ably by Captain Jean-Luc Picard and staffed by Starfleet's finest.


    EAS Warlock (image subbed by the Merlin)

    [​IMG]

    This sadly is a ship that 'exists' but was never seen in great detail on the show. The Earth Alliance Warlock class destroyer was the best of Human, and Minbari technology fused together to create a ship powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with a Minbari Sharlin-class warship. The most famous of these was the EAS Titans, commanded by Captain Susan Ivanova.

    The Event Horizon.

    That ship could teleport around the Universe! ;) 

    Seriously though, favourite is the SR2 SSV Nomandy (Alliance refit).

    Followed by the Enterprise 1701 Constitution refit.
