Spaaaaaaaaace ships

[Saviordd1]

The Empire ships from The Old Republic are just freaking awesome in my opinion.

Spoiler: Harrower dreadnaught

Of course most space ships look kick ass so theres that...

 

[Mandalore_15]

I am honestly appalled that Neither the Nostromo nor the Sulaco have appeared on this list so far... particularly as the previously mentioned human ship from Halo is such a blatant rip-off of the latter.

 

[Antitonic]

Also, the Ragnarok. It's a spaceship and a dragon all-in-one!

I thought the Naboo starfighter looked awesome until it flew in the opposite direction. I also like

Oh well. My favorite would be the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor.

^that one. Also Serenity. Damn fine ship.

You can say what you want about the prequels. But they did have some awesome ship-designs.

DOESN'T ANYONE HAVE A SHIFT KEY OR A CAPS LOCK BUTTON? FOR CHRIST'S SAKE PEOPLE.

You don't have to yell, and someone did mention the Hyperion earlier. Calm your shit.

Since BFG is already so well represented, I have to go with Sins of a Solar Empire Ragnarov Titan

Spoiler

The guy who did this appears to be one of the ship designers for Stardock and has some concept art for the newer ships as well http://ignusdei.deviantart.com/gallery/9491373

While the ragnarov is one sexy beast, In my opinion the best of the titans has got to be the Eradica

Spoiler

Although the Vasari Rebel titan comes in a close second. Just a shame there aren't any really good pics of it yet, cause it hasn't been released into the beta yet.

Spoiler

Warning: Picture is very big. The ship I am referring to is the one in the centre, the star shaped one.

Where's my Federation now?
Presumably not compensating for something.

I don't know about the Federation, but the Goa'uld are probably waiting for Anubis to bring his Capital Ha'tak, with impenetrable shields and capable of One shooting every fucking thing in the history of space. Or waiting for the shielded Death Star to show up. If that thing can take care of a planet, it sure as hell can take care of that slow ass ship.

Those things versus Angry Marines. Let's see who wins. And if they can't handle it alone, wait until Anubis gets pissed and shows up with the fucking Capital Ha'tak, capable of onne-shot killing every ship in space. And if that doesn't do, well, that's why the Ori were created.

 

[fish iron4]

Im dissapointed by the lack of Warhammer 40k in this thread

 

[Latenz1134]

I like the Destiny Ascension from Mass Effect

I also like the Wraith hive ships from Stargate: Atlantis

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I always liked this SPAAAAAAAAACE SHIP! The Nahel Argama from Gundam ZZ and Unicorn.

 

[imnot]

This is the sexiest thing i have ever seen

Spoiler

I know most people prefer the empire ones, but I think the republic ones look cooler.

Spoiler

And his older brother

[VeryOddGamer]

From the Knights of the Old Republic era of Star Wars, I give you:

the Interdictor-class cruiser (not be confused with the Interdictor-class star destroyer)

Spoiler

So sexy.

and The Ravager

Spoiler

Like an undead Star Destroyer. And I love undead things.

 

[Athol]

I give my love to the USS Defiant. Small, fast, well armoured, and armed to the teeth. There's nothing quite like capital ship levels of firepower, in what essentially is a corvett hull.

Whatever the case, I'd rather go with the ships that don't resemble giant red spiky penises.

Borg cube anyone?

Resistance is futile!

Erm, ok, first of all, "Angry Marines" are a fanon space marine chapter and are no more powerful or dangerous than any other chapter, so I'm not really getting your point there.

As for Anubis, really? That ship took part in what, 2 on screen battles? "Every ship in space" is a bit much seeing as it only ever fought crappy Ha'Taks. It was a glorified Ha'Tak, that was only ever used against run of the mill Ha'Taks with grossly inferior tech to anything in 40K. Imperium ships are layered with void shields and hurl building sized projectiles at each other and battles last for hours. Even Goa'uld tech enhanced with Ancient knowledge wouldn't be able to last that long, especially considering power constraints like ZPMs (which Anubis never had) and which even full blown Ancient tech had a problem with.

Ori; might put up a fight, but their main weapons are essentially the SG verse equivilent of lance batteries, which Imperium ships have in droves. They'd likely kill frigates and such easily, but against Retribution class and Battle Barges they'd struggle.

You also mentioned the Deathstar in your other post (why exactly did you need to make 2 consecutive posts to critiscise mine again?), and really, what? You want to compare standard 5km long 40k warships, to a 270km long superweapon? Erm, ok. In that case maybe I should introduce you to a Blackstone Fortress or 6? Each one can destroy planets, is near indestructable (based on even more powerful and ancient alien tech)and when combined they get more powerful, up to and including being able to destroy stars and beyond.

 

[Racecarlock]

The Incom T-65 X-wing is the fighter that killed the Death Star. An almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive shielding make it the fighter of choice for Rogue Squadron.

Thank you, general rieekan.

Lucrehulk-class, oh so beautiful.

I enjoy the design for its aesthetics but I cannot say I like it for its flair or use, cause I don't even understand how that thing flies >.>
