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.

Persepolis Rising (book 7 of The Expanse) the introduction of the Laconia magnetar-class ships were always really cool in my imagination, haha. They just seemed so powerful and impossible to take on.

The Laconian vessels are so eery and weird that I don't have a strong mental image of them. Might as well be pixelated.

Maybe because the show never depicted them.
