My favourite sci-fi TV series was Babylon 5 and for me, this show to this day still had the most realistic depiction of what OUR vessels would actually look like if we ever really went out there.. ie: Big ungainly things that required rotating sections in order to create fake gravity. Here is one of the cruisers... Pay attention to its name.. may be a little chuckle for this board if you know what I mean... [img]http://archive.firstones.com/tp2b/babylon_project/2262_arrival.jpg[/img] Also, the Babylon 5 STAR FURY is probably the most realistic earth space "fighter" craft ever envisioned. Even NASA asked the shows creators for detailed models and renderings of it cuz it really flipped them out!!! But after these, I agree that the utilitarian EAGLES from Space 1999 were very good... again because they depicted a very realistic concept that we could probably achieve.

i dont know a lot about space ships so i only have a couple faves. the enterprise of course (TNG), the defiant from deep space 9... numerous random star trek alien ships (like the klingon bird of prey meantioned before) does a Gundam count as a space ship? lol if so i have some faves there. i like numerous other anime ships i wont even get into that. but gotta say [u]my fave is always going to be borg cubes and spheres.[/u] resistance is futile!! you will be assimilated!

In no particular order. Eagle Transport (Space:1999) Millennium Falcon (Star Wars) Nostromo (Alien) Tantive IV (Star Wars) Battlestar Galactica (BSG New Series) Sulaco (Aliens) The TARDIS (Dr Who Original Series) The Liberator (Blakes 7) Earthship ARK (The Starlost) in principle. Updated technology would make it cool. Leonov (2010)

The ship that Blakes 7 "found" after the Liberator was destroyed was called Scorpio. @canadaphil totally agree about B5- way ahead of it's time- you have to look past the wooden acting (esp season 1) and slightly dogdy effects but the story over 5 seasons is outstanding..... Whitestar (B5) Millennium Falcon Minbari Cruiser (B5) Liberator (Blakes 7) Sulaco B Wing (ROTJ) Shadow vessel (B5) Tie Fighter Star Fury (B5) Super Star destoyer Executer (ESB)
