|  Re: Best spaceship? How about a cross between the Millenium Falcon and the Liberator? Then you'd get a really cool looking ship that, ok, broke down a lot, but would then fix itself, tell you when it's done and still brake the light speed barrier to get you home in time for tea!  |

| Re: Best spaceship? Not to give away my age ;-), but the Avalon book "Across Time", by David Grinnell, had the best ship, Ultimate Cruiser 12-12-12, and it's incredible abilities A great book, btw... Another BTW... Does anyone know where I can find a list [and maybe a synopsis] of the early Avalon SF books?? I want to find the name and author of a few I confused over the years. .. |

| Re: Best spaceship? For my personal vessel it would have to be the Millenium Falcon. For a Space Yacht - A Klingon Bird of Prey. I really want to have my very own Galaxy Class Starship. I do find the Sovereign class starships like the current Enterprise a bit too big. The current Excalibur, a souped up version of the Galaxy will be the one for me....  Take one of these into the mirror, mirror universe and see what happens...lol |

As for the TIE.....hmmmnn I'd rather go for Boba Fett's Slave 1. Then if it could be enabled with a device similar to a cross dimensional drive or paratime drive? Something along the lines of Heinlein's "number of the beast" I could go exploring the multiverse.....bawwaaa hahaahahah. Perhaps Slave 1 would be better as it isn't as fussy as the Millenium Falcon and may be able to take more of a beating. | |

| Re: Best spaceship? Ah, I love my spaceships...and my monsters...! Has there ever been a sexier spaceship than the one at the start of "Planet of the Apes"? Runner-ups:- United Planets Cruiser C57D (from "Forbidden Planet") the Martian spaceships from "War of the Worlds" the bronze-coloured spaceships in "Women of the Prehistoric Planet" Can we include spaceships from old comics?? - the "H"-shaped space station & the way-cool spacemobiles from those classic old "Space Family Robinson" comics - the Mars exploration ship from the comic "Planet of the Vampires" Plus all the others already mentioned...the Liberator...the Enterprise (from original series)...etc...hell yeah! |

| Re: Best spaceship? Millenium falcon definately has to get my vote. Slave 1 from Attack of the Clones impressed me. i love those seismic charges (even if they are impossible, that twanggggg when they exploded was awesome) I have always been a huge fan of the Nostromo in Alien. it just a huge, lumbering industrial machine  from my own writings, I made up a vehicle called the cuttlefish. Appropriately enough, it looks and moves like a giant, silver cuttlefish. They can maneuver through space and air like a cuttlefish can through water. They are armed with an emp, the requisite energy guns, and can emit a cloud of nanotech machine that are in reality, tiny robotic bombs. It sprays a cloud at an enemy vessel (or in front of it), the machines are able to determine if the ship is enemy or freind, and if it is enemy, they crawl into any gaps they find, then explode, destoying the integrity of the ship, if not outright blowing it apart *insert evil grin* |

| Re: Best spaceship? Long Live the Empire and the Star Destroyers that support it Apart from that... hmmm, I'd say the Andromeda seems like a cool ship with a charming personality . But me being a guy, I may be biased on that one...Chefo |

| Re: Best spaceship? No one seems to have mentioned the city sized ship of "The Authority". Darn it, I've now forgotten the name as well. Does it even have a name? I wouldn't mind having one of those......bwahh hhaa hahahha |
