You'd shit yourself if one of these decloaked on your starboard bow.
True, but if it arrived on the port side I'd celebrate!

My choice is the Chimera:



Sure, it has it's flaws. It relies on absorbing damage in it's shield layer (versus armor, which is the standard for most of the popular PVP ships) meaning you aren't quite as welcome in a major fleet operation as other carriers for example. But when you can get a group of ships that shield tank, this thing is a beast. It is one of the few Caldari vessels that is symmetrical (it always annoys me that they weren't). Like other carriers, it can deliver a up to ten fighters to a battle (each of which packs as much firepower as a throwaway cruiser!) and can, by itself, sustain staggering damage all while keeping other ships in the fight. In certain circumstances, it can move into a special logistics mode where it becomes immune to all forms of electronic warfare and while immobile (the damning flaw of the logistics module) it allows the carrier to completely repair a battleship in seconds (commonly used in smaller battles where the carrier is located away from the front lines).

It can transport other player ships long distances (though not a lot of them - a few mining barges, a battleship or a half dozen smaller vessels), it can allow them to change fittings without the use of a station and it looks damn sexy. The downside is that it, like any capital ship, is a damn bullet magnet and as such you must always stay in a group whenever possible. It's defenses are tough but easily breached and it's firepower, while considerable, is easily dealt with when you have no support yourself.

Essentially a 600ish meter long flying penis.

What is not to love?

The classic Imperial Star Destroyer would be my ride of choice. Super Star Destroyer is disqualified for being pretty much a Death star who went through plastic surgery to look like a Star Destroyer. Although it seems most captains of the damn things in the movie could be outsmarted by rocks.

I thought the EDS Hydra from Red Faction looked cool, it just needed some heavier kit mounting on it.



Or...

The Angelwing from Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. It's not exactly a superweapon but it looks so cool - again needs heavier kit mounting.

I've always liked the X wing, but the Swordfish holds a special place in my heart.

The Titan is always good though too

Though youcould say it doesnt count as a ship, I could say it does, because it has livable conditions inside.

=Angelwing, from Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Infinitely customisable, powerful, sleek, run by a female AI and able to organically assimilate and replicate any technology it comes in contact with...I think I need a cold shower.
Dammit, I can't believe you ninja'd the Angelwing, thought no-one would come up with that one :(

I've always been baffled by how these space ships get made, especially the massive ones. I mean How do they get all that material up there when small flying rocks could buggery up everything so easily.

USS Cygnus

Thunderbird 2 (if it counts)

(Thunderbird 3 if it has to be a spaceship)

Haha, I love you for that man. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who watched that show.

I think I'll go for a Starcraft 1 Battlecruiser, as they had that nice sleek design and still obliterated everything.

Otherwise I'll got with the Pfhor frigate that Durandal stole at the end of Marathon 1.

Let's hear it for something that is actually real!
SPACE SHUTTLE IS WIN
On what will be the shuttle's last mission, no... wait, its 2nd to last, no its 8th to last mission
I'm confused. I know that it is being retired, but how many missions are left again?

Falcon. You'll notice that a lot of the ships look similar, but the Falcon has it's own style.

Can I take one ship and steal a few parts from another IP? If so I would outfit the Normandy SR2 with Asgard shields, hyperdrive, energy generators and weapons. Even the reapers would crumble before me in that set up.
