And it's got a damn nice and fearsome weapon..
And on top of that, there are also these nice, three ZapSats..
And if it ain't the Avatar, it's got to be.....

Nah, the enterprise is too lanky. It would never hold up, which is why they need their energy bubble so badly.
My favorite is that cool fork-shaped ship from starflight (the one on the cover). That's why it's my current avatar. Hehe, my avatar can beat your avatar.
Second place goes to the Sulaco from Aliens.
Third place goes to all the Star Destroyer shaped craft in the SW universe. Wedges are cool.

The SDF-1 of Robotech: The Macross Saga. Nothing says lovin' when a 3/4 mile long ship fires its main cannon that's capable of taking down a small fleet in one shot.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Luki, your memory is doing fine.
I like the Enterprise refit a lot.
I also like the Star Fury from B5, if only because it was a star fighter which actually properly used newtonian mechanics in fights.
the B-wing fighter from RotJ
I also like the Broodhome.
Shuffle these around in no particular order.

Hear, hear! Although I thought the Zentraedi ships looked much more badass; and they had enough of them to lay waste to the entire Earth! That's got to count for something, right?

Fun fact: According to Joe Straczynski, some big-brained engineers at NASA were trying to come up with a design for a "service vehicle" for space stations, and they decided that the Starfury was the optimal design (minus the guns, of course). So they asked JMS if they could use his design, and he said "yes, BUT YOU HAVE TO CALL IT A STARFURY." So in the next 10-60 years, you'll likely see photos of real-life Starfuries coming out of NASA. Neat, eh?

Minus the guns eh? I think NASA might find some nice stuff to slap ontot that bird, courtesy of the Goverment... Can you imagine parking outside of Mir with your weapons armed and demanding entry.
Oh.. wait. Mir fell down, didn't it? Damn, there goes another brilliant idea.
Seriously though, that is waay neat. I hereby declare it one of my new goals in life... To be a passenger in a Starfury.

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

I like lots of ships, but I think the Cylon Basestars from Battlestar Galactica are among the best.

You want to ride around in a repair pod? That is your dream? I wonder what your hobbies are. Perhaps book refinnishing or cat dentistry.
I guess it's better than pickin' up rocks in your vibrationless space tractor.

I'm leaning towards the TIE Interceptor aswell. It's up there on my top 10 list anyways, along with the Borg cube and Sulaco of course. ASP explorer is sweet too!
Edit : ASP explorer paper model Couldn't find a screenshot of the Amiga version, the PC version has ugly textures.

The Starship Bistromath. The only really good in-flight meal.
