@intothehive...
Oh hellz yeah... We need to show some B5 luv. Hahaha. The younger punks have probably never even seen that show??
After the more realistic Earth Force Cruisers, I also liked ALL of the Alien race vessels which of course could be as wild as they wanted, because the Aliens could have any freaky tech. imaginable..
Anyway there is one other favourite.. the NARN G'Quan Heavy Cruiser...

great thread, ncc...I love ALL the TIE designs: especially the TIE interceptor, and the "Darth Vader" Version of it, as well as the TIE bombers...
the STar Trek I/II NCC1701 is awesome, IMHO...
Loved the Cylon starfighters in BG...dunno why...
I loved the B-Wing fighters and the Buck Rogers starfighters, the "Executor", and the X-Wing fighters..
never was a big Millenium falcon fan...too clunky and not streamlined...plus...asymmetrical, lol..
I'll post more when I think of 'em... man...great trip through memory lane!
So many of the ones you guys mentioned I raved about and just loved when I was a kid...wow...great stuff!

2001 Discovery for its accuracy. Although the centrifuge was too small to be viable, it did present this mode of artificial gravity for the first time in SciFi. I also liked the ship's "spine" as a store house for the systems consumables. They did their homework on this one.

I find most spaceship designs ugly, but a couple I like:
Swordfish II - Cowboy Bebop

I know I already posted on this thread but, one spacecraft(and pilot) deserves honorable mention. gotta be the un-named A-wing pilot from I believe ROTJ. He's doing his thing, flying around, kicking arse when he gets hit and then corkscrews at full throttle into a Star Destroyer's command deck. straight up, galactic-kamikaze style. what a way to go.
