Not a movie, but TV series:

Andromeda:

Transit Via Slipstream: Portals that link multiple star systems (not exactly warppoints, but damn close)

Anti Proton cannons, Missiles, Point Defense, Lack of newtonian movement, Fighters, Drones, planetary bases, weapons platforms, racial bonuses, point singularity weapons (null space cannons) Stellar manipulations, ships that don't wear down over time, AI's, troops/vehicles, and more!

Ever get the feeling the writers/producers of Andromeda are SEIV fans?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Andromeda had such great potential... But it got ruined once more by executives http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Andromeda's awesome, but I started getting sporadic with it ever since the third season. All of a sudden, the Commonwealth was reestablished and I feel like I missed a few eps when I didn't. Ah well, working on the DVD collection. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

There was also the old Space: Above and Beyond series. No shields, carrier/fighter reliance.

It is criminal what Executives do to good Sci-Fi TV.

First Andromada was a good show, then it took a 90 degree turn and poof things changed overnight.

Farscape, another fine example of a very weird, yet surprisingly good show turned into cannon fodder by the Exec's.

Then we have B5 and its spin off Cursaders. The Last season of B5, year six, was half assed produced on a micky mouse budge with lack luster stories and no support from TBS. Cursaders was never given a chance.

Space Above and Beyond was another great show that was never realized. Good old FOX, the moment a show's Ratings dip, usually about episode 1, they cancel it. They never give a show a chance, example Fire Fly.

Stargate SG1 is once again revived, but will it Last? Its on the Sci-Fi network, so who the hell really knows what will happen. (New super "uber" geek producers, dumb *** writers, and a budge equal to what I spend on wrapping paper a year. (NOTE: I spend very very little to no money each year on wrapping paper.)

Earth Final Conflict, never really got this show and never watched it. So my opinion on this one is void.

Lexx, hated it. In now way, except the far fetched, could this show ever be compared to SEIV.

Battlestar Galactica (Original) What a waste to let this show go. What an absolute waste.

Battlestar Galactica 1980 Urge! Utter crap and needed to be canceled.

Battlestar Galactica Revisited (Sci-Fi Network) I hold out little hope for this show to be successful given the Sci-Fi channels history with budges and long term support.

Hey Space 1999 is out on DVD if any one is interested.

Buck Rogers was an interesting show, I especially liked the women, and the episode with the space vampire.

Don't forget starship troopers ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

About the 5th element : have a look at my starship baseship... looks familiar doesn't it ?

Have anyone mentioned the "V" TV serie ? these ugly lizards and their huge ships would make a good concept for a shipset...
