Re: Coolest Ships in Sci-Fi
Ah, yes, the 'Terminator's.
Incidentally, I'd like to add Dahak from the Heirs of Empire trilogy; It's a warship the size of a planetoid, that coats itself a couple kilometers of rock to camouflage itself as a moon. And before anyone goes all 'Deathstar up in this', I'd like to point out that every inch of it's surface is used for weaponry designed to engage anything from regular space ships to, (primarily) other planetoid-warships.
The fact that it acts as a fleet carrier for battleships, cruisers, and smaller crafts, along with the fact the Dahak-as-Dahak came to sentience by accident, just make it cooler."Simon Ten Broek loves to draw attention;

Re: Coolest Ships in Sci-Fi
In no particular order:
Imperial Class Star Destroyers, and Star Dreadnoughts, especially the Executor
Since I was a kid, I've found these ships to be...aesthetically pleasing. Watching these beauties in the movies made my heart jump a little, every time.
While we are here, I got to mention that the TIE-Interceptor is my favorite Starfighter class. Yes, it beats even the Defender.
Tyranid Bioships
There is only few images of these things, but the idea of gigantic, sealike monstrosities in space that harbor billions of deadly members of a galactic locust swarm is too awesome for not being mentioned here.
Borg Cube.
It's a cube.
I'd love to mention some Battletech Jumpships just to get Battletech some credit, but...they ain't cool.Monkey see and monkey do, evolution was never true. All the lies they feed to you, monkey me and monkey YOU!

Re: Coolest Ships in Sci-Fi
At least those were sources that only cost me time and possibly a cable bill. I watched Enterprise over the airways and TNG when I was a kidlet, so not even that. The other requires me to buy a piece of merchandising for something to pretend to make sense. And it still doesn't. Nothing about the ship, even the Cthulhus burdock design, suggests it was modified by Borg. Nothing stood out to me in the back story as shown in the movie said that Nero made a deal with Borg.

Re: Coolest Ships in Sci-Fi
I like the ship designs from the Homeworld video game series. They reminded me of old sci-fi book covers from the 70s with their spines and bright, contrasting colors.

Re: Coolest Ships in Sci-Fi
I have always been partial to the N.E.A.S. Protector from GalaxyQuest
I also am surprised the Ebonhawk hasn't been mentioned.I'm not bad, I just aim that way ~my own comment on my Call of Duty abilities.

Re: Coolest Ships in Sci-Fi
Beside VF-1 Valkyrie that is my favourite ship ever, another of my favourite ship would me moya from farscape.
Hell, I never actually watch farscape, and just know about her from cultural assimilation and wiki, but she's still so awesome.
Is farscape any good, by the way?Last edited by Fri; 2010-03-23 at 11:58 PM.

Re: Coolest Ships in Sci-Fi
I'll drill into it, and make it my own! I call it... Dai Gurren! Better name for a big red mecha, isn't it?
I prefer Super Galaxy Dai Gurren, though.
