Dude, thanks for reminding me of Master of Orion!-Samurai- said:The Guardian.
Beast of a ship.
Or I'd take an Antaran battleship.
I got the idea for this configuration from a post on gamefaqs, but here's the pride and joy of my fleet in my last MoO2 game:
For those not in the know about Master of Orion, a Stellar Converter is essentially the planet buster beam from the Death Star, only yellow.
My actual favourite spaceship of all time though is the X-Wing, mostly due to my love for the X-Wing series of Star Wars novels. I'd post a picture, but my avatar already has that covered.
My other favourite is the Nadesico from the Martian Successor Nadesico anime series.
The original ND-001 Nadesico
The Nadesico fitted with the Y-Unit which gives it two more engines and an omg!boom cannon.

"One of the few spaceships in this thread that actually exist."

1 VDropship 77-Troop Carrier (Pelican) - It is awesome and can go in space.
2 The Pillar of Autumn
3 The SSV Normandy SR1
4 The Foreward Unto Dawn
5 Slave V

The Normandy SR-2 (I think it was SR-2) is damn sexy and all that, but somehow it can't beat good old Serenity.
The Event Horizon from the movie Event Horizon. Gravity drive that leads to a a dimension of pure chaos and evil? check.
I'm gonna have to say the Enterprise from next generation. I like the idea of a ship you live on and of the various ship designs that i've seen over the years the Enterpirse is one of the few that looks livable. most ships look barren and cold, often dark. where as the Enterprise is bright, has carpet very few sharp edges. Its Friendly. Now i'm mostly talking the inside. The outside isn't the coolest thing i've ever seen but its still a striking desing. its like if you stuck an sled to a flying saucer.
long shot - almost indestructible ship with a stasis field that can go a light year a minute

ringworld - a large ring with a sun in the middle and a second between the sun and the ring that can be used to simulate a day and night cycle. The sun can be used as a fusion drive to propel it to close to light speed and can be used as a giant weapon as well as a hyper drive.

I have a few favs, but then i was reminded of this:
Yeah, trumps anything else i can think of enough that they don't merit mentioning.

I have to go with the Starfury, one of the few space fighters that is more than just an airplane in space.
The pilot is a the center of the craft to minimize G-forces. Much of the mass is also at the center to minimize the moment of inertia. Four big engines that can fire in just about any direction mounted way out give maximum angular acceleration. Someone did some thinking when they designed this ship.

Man, I feel old reading this thread.
Anyway, my favourite spaceships are
The Tarsus, as it was the starting point of a truly epic journy, that isn't rivaled to this day.
And the Concordia, as it was home on my first campaign in space.
(not an actual screenshot, rather a render)
And please save me, escapist forum, by not having me to tell you what games those are from!

Honestly, the Spirit of Fire from Halo Wars is a pretty freakin' sweet ride.
Also, the Alliance Ships from Firefly are cool (if somewhat evil looking), in that they're pretty much spacefaring cities. Which seem like they would be useful when you're chillin' around the galaxy.
