Favorite Sci-fi space vessel/captain?

[thenumberthirteen]

I'd say the Daedalus from Stargate. Not because it is more powerful than the Prometheus, but that it just looks cooler, and Caldwell is a great Captain (or should I say Colonel).

Also once it's fitted out with the latest Asgard tech after SG-1 it is almost unstoppable.

 

[Mr Dizazta]

Commander Shepard and the Normandy SR-2

 

[Zakarath]

Me and my Loki-class Strategic Cruiser
Otherwise, Mal and the Serenity.

Sholto Unwerth, master of the freighter Arethusa. Cookie for anyone who knows what I'm talking about

Touche, although I preferred Maxilla. But again, Mal and Serenity

Wow, that's good. Electro-knucks to you. Although for ship's names, you can't really beat the Hinterlight.

Really? Unwerth?? Really??! I've been reading this recently and so far all I've seen him do is get his arse kicked. I quite liked the Rubicon from Grey Knights, before it crashed into a planet. I'm learning never to get attached to ships in the 40k verse though.

Word of advice, one shouldn't go making judgements when one obviously hasn't finished reading a set of books to it's conclusion. And I also liked the Rubicon. I friggin loved that whole series, extremely well written.

I've always been partial to the klingon Bird of Prey

I was surprised to see someone mention master Unwerth, although I was thinking about him when I read this thread. For a space dwarf he truly is an ace pilot. I loved how he handled the swarm of mechanical killer birds in the Underhive.

For ship names the Misericord was pretty awesome. And from the same novel, pilot Barda kicks ass!

OT: I would like to nominate captain Dylan Hunt of the Commonwealth ship The Andromeda Ascendant.

 

[Kell Aset]

I guess Cardassian Galor class warship is my favorite, quite unusual design.

Admiral Adama is disappoint.

As for ship? There's too frigging many good ones to choose from.

 

[AviaJiutai]

No idea for a captain, but my ideal ship would be the Ragnarok from Final Fantasy 8. It's about the only part of the game I can remeber. Aside from a school that could fly.

 

[Wayneguard]

Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon... that is all.

 

[dalek sec]

Admiral Adama and Col Tigh in command of the Battlestar Galactica. They just work so well together and honestly, it's a bloody bro-mance with those two and I just can't bare to break them up like that. Galactica is a tough old bird, she's a battleship/carrier to spits out vipers as fast as she can while putting up huge walls of flak fire while her main battereis shred through the target.

My other pick is Col. Young and the crew of Destiny with the Ancient ship "Destiny". She's pretty beat up but is still running. She's well armed with many turrents plus a main battery underneth the ship plus two shuttles that can serve as short range fighters in battle.

 

[Galliam]

Favorite captain is probably the JJ Abrams Kirk. I'm serious about that. Before he existed, it woulda been Picard.

As for ship. thats a bit trickier. Uhhh I like Slave 1 in star wars and I loved the Defiant. Klingon birds of prey get honorable mention as well as the promethius in Stargate.

Admiral Adama is disappoint.

As for ship? There's too frigging many good ones to choose from.

Here-
Adama and the Battlestar Galactica.

 

[sansamour14]

Pillar of Autumn under the command of Captain Keyes.

 

[Nomanslander]

As much as I love the ME series, I just wasn't bought into the whole Shepard is our savior melarkey. The man (or women) is about as flat of note as a piano under the Pacific ocean. The voice acting for both Sheps is cringe worthy at best, and well...he/she's just too perfect as stale as he/she is.

I favor Garrus or Wrex ten times over Shepard. But back to OT, I'd have to say Kirk.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Gene Starwind and the Outlaw Star.

Also, I'm surprised it took so long for someone to mention Firefly.

[sub]Never got into that show.[/sub]

 

[YuheJi]

Well...

Spoiler: Take Your Pick... to scale!

(For the full size comparison chart, go here: http://www.loganotron.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/comparison.gif - all kinds of geek awesome!)

Seriously though it may just be this...

Spoiler: Outlaw Star

Although my favourite Captain of all time would be him:

Spoiler: Controversy!

Yessss! I love Captain Sisko. Such a badass.
Though my favorite ship would probably be the White Stars from Babylon 5.

Spoiler

 

[Lagslayer]

1. Picard. He's always in control of the situation.
2. Han Solo because he's freaking HAN SOLO! Harrison Ford, can you do no wrong? (THAT movie does not count, because that was bad directing)
3.Kirk is great too, but doesn't have the demeanor of a captain a lot of the time.


Also, to you Sisko supporters, please tell me that's not your favorite Star Trek. I need to hear this.

 

[ArtanisCreed]

The Andromeda Ascendant was one of the coolest imo. Most ships from stargate. SDF-1, the Eagle 5 from spaceballs..lol

also most of the ships from EVE ONLINE

 

[The Apothecarry]

Can the Millennium Falcon do a Crazy Ivan? I submit that it cannot!
