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.

Hard sci-fi: The Rocinante

Floppy sci-f: The A-Wing

The Yamato!

Definitely the Enterprise-E absolutely perfect.

Honourable mention to the Roci though

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

OR

Faulcon DeLacy Cobra Mk III (Specifically MY Cobra Mk III)

The Slave I

Sorry I meant: Boba Fett's Ship 🙃

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

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.

Certainly not the Event Horizon 😈

“I’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 Ebon Hawk

The Kiith Somtaaw Archangel-class Dreadnought

I always liked the Nostromo's design.

The Thunder Road

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

Swims Against the Current in a Stream Reflecting the Sun

Odyssee class!

The Phalanx

Starship Velociraptor

Since Roci is everywhere...

Do Gundam count? Aerial or Quiet Zero are pretty baller

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.

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

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.

Francisco Franco's PM, Luis Carrero Blanco's car turning him into a Good Fascist™ and Spain's first astronaut

The Millennium Falcon ofc.

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.

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

The Nomandy from Mass Effect
