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.

Nostromo from Alien, it was such an awesome industrial looking design.

I've always been fond of the (seemingly) abandoned generation ship Thistledown from Greg Bear's Eon.

The generation ship Asteria from Record of a Spaceborn Few. It sticks with me because every character has a complex and touching relationship with the ship, whether as a home, an object of duty and responsibility, a idyllic myth to live up to, or an anthropological puzzle.

I like the various ships in Babylon 5, but I also like moya from Farscape, the enterprise d from tang and who could forget the ship with HAL in 2001: A Space Odysee

To me the most beautiful ship I've ever seen is the Baudo Star Yacht from Star Wars. Now, there's two very different kinds of ship called this, and the one I mean is the sleek, smooth one that's all curves and huge engines, not the blockier version.
