Wow! Nobody's mentioned the X-wings from Star Wars?!! Personal favorite BTW. I mean if you could have a ship or in this case a Starfighter is perfect, it's small enough to fit in most places ( garage or hangar) can travel faster than light and it has weapons!! Now where do a get dang R2 unit?
April 02, 2012
Ah the SR1 Normandy @ Flexer. I'm more partial to the SR2 Normandy II. If they ever get around to do a Mass Effect movie one can only hope it looks as good as Prometheus or has a great director like Sir Scott.
April 02, 2012
Yes indeed Ncc 1701 thanks, I mean the X- Wing's shape is Iconic and on another note as your moniker implies to me the best will always and forever be the Enterprise from the motion picture.

The Normandy SR1 SR2 and SSV SR2 seen as I have been it's commander for an odd 5 years.

The Nostromo.

High Charity from Halo, I'm not really a fan of the series so I can't remember if this is a battlestation, but I'm pretty sure it's a dreadnought.

I can't really think of anything else of the top of my head besides Star Fighters.

Sovereign is the Vanguard of the entire Reaper Fleet/Race there are thousands of them, possibly millions.

No love for the "Corsair Star Cruiser" flown by John-Boy? Maybe I'm reading too much into it....but to me its in Giger territory for "suggestiveness"....

And guess who worked on this movie...
April 03, 2012
I don't know if this ship has been mentioned, but I like it. The movie, Spacehunter, is well below mediocre. I saw the movie recently and cringed at Molly Ringwald's incesant whining.
