Nominate the coolest ships in sci fi

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

You can't take the sky from me...

Would Unicron count?

[Atekimogus]

What about those beauties?






They are from Bengal Class Strike Carrier and Confederation Dreadnaught from Wing Commander 1 and 2 respectivly.


I think Wing Commander 1 and 2 had some really awesome, retro-looking, spacecraft design which nowadays is unfortunatly largely forgotten, but some of those ships look just awesome in modern 3d provided by some fan-mods.



Wing Commander 3,4,5 also had some nice ships but the limitiations of the new 3d technology was very appearant in the very block design.

I have the book the first image came from! Man, it's been ages since I played Wing Commander. Back when I played video games, mind.

[Varthikes]

Moya from Farscape.

Frell, yes!!!

Moya definitely gets my vote!


I would add...

The White Star

[Nutso]

The Tallgeese from Gundam Wing


Also from Gundam WIng, Epyon.

It even has a lazersword.

[Nutso]

This is Talyn from Farscape. He is Moya's child. He is a Leviathan class living vessel but he is weaponized and needed no connected Pilot. Sacrificed himself to save his mother.



Red Dwarf before the season 8 remake.

[Teaos]

I think the Akira is usually a fan favorite.

[McAvoy]

The BC-304, or Odyssey from Stargate SG-1 is pretty cool.

[SomosFuga]

You have a lot of cool ships in B5 not yet mentioned like the centari Vorchan and Primus, the Minbari Sharlin Warcruiser, the EA Hyperion, the EA Warlock, the first one's ships.
From SW the B-wing, the Slave II, the Low Altitude Assault Transport, the Naboo fighter.
From ST Data's ship from Insurrection, D'deridex class, Insectoid ship.
Terran fighter from Starcraft.
Fighter from Lost in Space (movie)

[Tinadrin Chelnor]

B5 - I have always been very fond of the Vorchan, the Whitestar, the G'Quan, Omega-class, and the Vorlon ships.
SW - The Naboo fighters are really cool, but I am drawn to the Droid fighters also.
ST - I have always been a massive fan of the D'Deridex, but also the Vor'Cha and Galor too.
The Andromeda Ascendant (from Andromeda) is an awesome ship.

[stitch626]

I'd have to say the Original Enterprise, simply for the time it was made in.

[Varthikes]

From classic sci-fi, I would nominate the Fireball XL5 with it's detachable nose cone that they used as a planetary scout.

[Jim]

Isn't this the ultimate "vs" thread?

[Tsukiyumi]

"Coolness" is a matter of opinion, not quantifiable properties.
