| Re: Whats Your Favorite Starship/Fighter/Space Station? Why? Babylon 5 - I like all the designs, the alien one like a pulsating jelly fish, definitely White Star and Minbari fish ones, but best of all to me, the X wing fighters because: a) The first time I saw them launch from Bab 5, the way the arms operate and just drop them off the station had me out of my seat. b) I love the way the cockpit separates off so they can put the pilot on board easily and it doubles as an escape pod. |

| Re: Whats Your Favorite Starship/Fighter/Space Station? Why? For me - Liberator, and the angelfish Minbari ships, and starfuries. Reasons - design and use for liberator, deign for the minbari ships, and 'plausibility' for the starfuries. Sire of Dragons - where did you get that image of the liberator please? I animated the Liberator, for fun. You can find it by searching for 'cartoony liberator' Last edited by alternicity; 27th February 2008 at 01:13 AM. |

| Re: Whats Your Favorite Starship/Fighter/Space Station? Why? The Motherships from "V". These flying saucers didn't need flashing lights to make a good enntrance, they just hovered into view ![]() |

| Re: Whats Your Favorite Starship/Fighter/Space Station? Why? Number one on the list -- x-wing. Can we say, "dancing in the sky"? Lith, if you liked the old style SF rocketship, you might enjoy the flying platform in Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow. It has that old 40s Flash Gordon feel to it. It also reminds me of the US Air Force flying stratofortresses. Impressive. |

| Re: Whats Your Favorite Starship/Fighter/Space Station? Why? The first time we se the The Executor (Darth Vader's Flagship, a Super Star Destroyer/Star Dreadnaught) in Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back still takes me as my favourite. After the initial Star Destroyer at the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope, it was hard (at the time) to imagine something better, bet then there it was in the next movie. And then there was Vader looking out of that viewport. |

| Re: Whats Your Favorite Starship/Fighter/Space Station? Why? I think when I first saw the Starfury's from babylon 5 I though intitally ooo somebodys nicked the Tie fighter design but after watching em in action I kina had to eat humble pie. I loved the jury rigged look of the earth ships in B5. But for station B5 closley followed by Deep Space 9, for ship's its harder there be too many I think either TIE fighters or Starfurys. Bigger classes hmmm the liberator is a fantastic design especially that graphic soembody put up where did you find it but my fave I think has to be the Old one ship from B5 the one with the jellyfish look, its never named but Ivanova speaks to them and Catheren Sakai gets power drained by it. You know the one!![]() |
