I really liked the Earth Force/Shadow Tech Destroyers, they was some mean looking ships.

I like Spaceship from the Chronies the best.

SpaceShip! Yeah, she's my favourite spaceship!

Re: Upright Man
The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey is a collection of short stories from 1969. The premise is to combine humans, who are physically disabled, with spaceships or "Brainships". The human is cyborged into the ship and runs it as it's controling computer/mind. The ship works as explorers, emergency response, and peacekeeping.
SWS was followed by Partnership, City Who Fought and others.
It was overshadowed by McCaffreys' success with Pern books but a fan favorite of time.

How about the "Hot Needle of Inquiry" from the first Ringworld novel.

Whilst not strictly speaking a spaceship, I kind of like the Swordfish from the anime series Cowboy Bebop. Mind you, the Bebop itself wasn't too bad either, even if it was falling apart most of the time...

The Heart of Gold!

I rest my case, your honour. I think that says it all! (well...for those who have read Hitchhiker's Guide, of course)

It is an interesting ship. Eddie.

I like the sundogs from The Dark Side of the Sun, by Terry Pratchett. After reading the hatching scene i just have to name them as #1

The Technophobe · 11th December 2006, 09:11 PM

I liked the Titan and the Drejj ships in Titan AE. Baldor's ship in TOS was also a good idea but my favourite is Galen the Technomage's ship.

Lexx it the top ship for me
Followed by Talon from farscape and the Tardis is a lot stronger than it looks

Ash59 · 30th January 2007, 08:46 PM

'Serenity' also quite fond of the Tardis with its revamped interior. Can i have two?

Hawkshaw_245 · 30th January 2007, 10:24 PM

The Colonial Viper, and the Excelsior-class starship are pretty high on my list.
