What is the most awesome spaceship in games/film?

[trouble_gum]

What about the fat man from eve? When I played that I always imagined giggling like Peter Griffin as I flew through space. It was pretty cool and made me smile.

I stopped playing though, becuase I didn't really get it.

Ah, the Tristan. The Little Gallente Frigate that Could.

Also available with gold highlights and invisibility.

Spoiler

Well, kinda. Technically, that's a Nemesis stealth bomber, but it uses the Tristan hull, so meh.

 

[Sebenko]

what games is that from?

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. A surprisingly good space RTS that actually made you feel like you were in command of your ship.

OT: Any ship in GalCiv 2. Ship designing is awesome.

Just to be different... How about the Destiny Ascension

I mean the entire middle of the ship is a giant laser!!!

Or this

Is it technically a ship...? not sure

Ehh no, It's a gravametric propulsion drive.

 

[Laser Priest]

The Normandy.

Because it's the fucking Normandy.

 

[richd213]

Space Hulks from 40k (there was a phone game for it so it counts )

and the starship enterprise of course.

 

[Goomboss]

the ship from farscape, cus that is awesome

or the predator ships as they can reconnect to platforms on their homeworld and act as houses...also what about the borg cube lol

EDIT** better yet the ARWING from lylat wars.....it can barrel roll

 

[Neverhoodian]

The Y-Wing from Star Wars.

I really like its exposed machinery and worn appearance. You can tell at a glance that these ships have seen lots of action, much like how front-line fighter planes in World War II would collect their share of dirt, grime, battle scars and chipped paint. When you're fighting a war, aesthetics rank pretty low on the list of priorities

In spite of their rather ungainly appearance however, they're still reliable workhorses for the Rebel Alliance.

Ah, I love the Y-Wing too. Fun fact: the Y-Wing was originally completely sheathed in a body shell, but engineers got tired of removing it:

Another of my favorites is the TIE Interceptor. Sleek, fast and deadly.:

Yep, in fact they even show Y-Wings when they were still "brand new" in the Clone Wars show:

Doesn't look like your source, but I was happy that they at least referenced that tibidt of info (unlike the main prequel films, which gleefully ignore the series' continuity). Unfortunately the show as a whole was too hit-or-miss for my tastes.

 

[Noswad]

no love for this little fella yet, it was awesome.

 

[Ranorak]

My all time favorite is the Ragnarok from FF8

But Samus' ship in MP3 looks awesome too. Though kind of plot-hole-y

And for bonus points, The Executioner.

 

[Miyaki]

Im suprised no one mentioned Slave 1

[Azure-Supernova]

Samus' Metroid Fusion gun ship:

It wins because it's purple, I nicknamed it Nightshade.

 

[deal]

The shadow vessels, they look like giant spiders, with too many legs, that you can't see until it is right in your face.
I'm a little surprised nobody said Talon from Farscape yet. It's a paranoid living gunship.

 

[dazhat]

I think the original ships are much cooler. The new ones feel like

I think the original ones look better. Like blocks of metal put together with guns regardless of aerodynamics.

 

[Free Thinker]

To be different, any of the Mobile Suit Gundam ships. My preference goes to White Base or the Argama.
