Favorite Spaceships (self.sciencefiction)

What are your favorite spaceships from science fiction shows, movies, games, comics, anime or anything?

The Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop is probably my top favorite. I like the idea of small compact ships meant for a single person and going fast.

For that same reason I love the Razorback from The Expanse. Except the engine to ship ratio in this universe probably makes more sense realistically. The cockpit 360 swivel system is also really clever.

The Outlaw Star from.. Outlaw Star is not a small ship. I just like it because it looks cool despite its goofy unrealistic grapple arms that hold weapons.

Honestly, it was always Picard's Enterprise (D I think...?) from TNG.

I always really liked that take on a capital ship. They're usually military vessels or logistics craft, what else do you need something that big for? The Enterprise was well-rounded though, and perfect for deep space serial adventures around more complex moral and ethical issues.

Also, it fucking splits into two ships!

I love the show, but the ship always felt too clean, too perfect, and too large. Voyager and even the Defiant cause more feelings and memories than the Enterprise does for me. But I agree that the ship design is perfect for what TNG is.

well-rounded

I see what you did there.

And for trying to fuck women in red dresses on the holodeck 😂

Hi, don't be too weird please. I'll assume this duplicate spam was some sort of accident. 🤨

Apologies, the app I'm using gave me a network error every time I tried to reply, but apparently it actually went through and posted each time.

It's happening all over the site, how could you assume anything else?

It's a pretty common bug.
