    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.

    Well, not anymore. The stock YT-1300 freighter performs nothing like the Falcon. And that's assuming you can find a stock YT-series. They're made to be customized by their owners. Corellians are one of the top 5 awesome cultures in Star Wars for that one reason.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Actually, it's stolen from a research station. Also, Nero's weapon is the Romulan imperial scepter. Note that I haven't read the comic either, I just read Memory Alpha (and the countdown to Star Trek Online).

    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?
