Y-Wings from Star Wars.



Sure it's not pretty, but that's part of its charm. I love the exposed components and how dirty and battle scarred it is. They're old but reliable, like the British Hurricane in World War II (which is one of my favorite aircraft).
You know, I have to agree. The original Star Wars trilogy had some really good spaceships, especially the Rebels'. I'm pretty sure I used to have a lego Y-Wing, it was awesome.

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!
PRIVATEEER!

The firts time I saw that thing in A New Hope, that just sealed the deal for life.

Loving this thread, and there are too many to choose from so I'm just going to add some favourites that haven't already been mentioned (unless I missed them). Although someone already mentioned the Sylpheed, which was what I had in mind until I read his post :p

Taiidan Heavy Cruiser, from Homeworld & Homeworld: Cataclysm. When this beast (literally in Cataclysm...) turned up, you knew it was going to ruin your day. Until you realised you could capture one, of course...


Battleship Osiris, from Freelancer. Carrier as well as a battleship, most powerful ship in it's class, and a cloaking device to boot.


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.


Astarte, from Star Wolves 3: Civil War. Simply because if you equipped it right, it was a massive flying shiny tank in space that hoovered up all the loot automatically (The Star Wolf gets an honourable mention, naturally). Couldn't find a decent picture, but I highly recommend the game to anyone who likes sci-fi and strategy/RPG games.

That Andromeda looks pretty awesome, one of the few ships in this thread I've never seen before. I'll be checking out that series soon hopefully :)

Normady SR2

Primus, from the transformers series, i mean, its a planet, that turns into a battleship, that turns into a giant robot, what more could you want? oh yeah, hes also, the emporer of light and 10x the size of earth.

(ALSO ITS CALLED THE NORMANDY SR2 NOT N2!)

Of course I wouldn't mind a Borg Tactical Cube. Then I could just assimilate anything that was thrown at me. Assimilation Beam FTW!
unless of course you was going up against the ELS, in which case that cube will be the one getting assimilated
The who? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the ELS.

Am I the only one who takes holodecks into consideration?

So, I'd go for the Defiant or something. Might not look as cool, but if it has a holodeck and cloaking, it's all fine by me.

Although I'd have some moral issues with beaming up and down...

ANY Ship off EVE online, bash the gameplay all you want but the ships are nothing short of works of art.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Ship
(Link seems to be bugged as of posting but if you scroll down you'll be able to follow the links in the contents to each type of ship.)

My ultimate, one-and-only winner? The Pirate Battleship from the Homeworld 2 Pirate Mod.
Ain't she a beauty?
