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.

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.

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.

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

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

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