Definitely the Enterprise-E absolutely perfect.

Honourable mention to the Roci though

Indeed, doesn't make me miss the D any less, though.

Hard sci-fi: The Rocinante

Floppy sci-f: The A-Wing

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like the Nostromo from Alien (1979). The Icarus II from Sunshine (2007) is pretty cool, too.

The Rocinante is an obvious pick.

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

Lakon Diamondback Explorer

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.

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

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.

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

The Slave I

Sorry I meant: Boba Fett's Ship πŸ™ƒ

[–] OtisRamflow@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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!”

The Nomandy from Mass Effect

[–] MxRemy@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

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

Francisco Franco's PM, Luis Carrero Blanco's car turning him into a Good Fascistβ„’ and Spain's first astronaut

[–] CatoPosting@hexbear.net 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.

[–] TJDetweiler@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

The Phalanx

[–] Teknikal@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

The lexx of course it's the most powerful ship in both universes.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Rouxibeau@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since Roci is everywhere...

Do Gundam count? Aerial or Quiet Zero are pretty baller

[–] sxan@midwest.social 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.

[–] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

I always liked the Nostromo's design.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.
