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.
From Halo, my favorite ship is probably the Heart of Midlothian, followed by the Spirit of Fire. There's something I like about the slabbed, angular bow.
From Mass Effect, the Tempest, bar none the most attractive ship I think I've ever laid eyes on. I think she looks better when you can walk around her, it's hard to get a good angle on.
And an odd one out, the Taiidan Destroyers from Homeworld are particularly badass, even if their gun layout is objectively hot garbage. Could say the same about most Taiidan ships, they look less functional and more like the product of an unchallenged imperial navy. Kushan vessels feel comfortably realistic but aren't visually distinct.
