Default OT- Favorite Sci Fi Ship?

As SEIV is a sci fi game, based heavily around ships, and with ships that are fully customizable even in look. I thought I would ask, what is your favorite scifi starship??????

My favorite(s) would be:
Mon Calamari Cruisers (they're in Ep.VI, kinda looks like an elongated and lumpy egg)
A-Wings (the wedge-shaped fighters in Star Wars)
White Stars (B5)
Shadow Vessles (B5)
Hammerheads (Space: Above & Beyond)
Galactic Semi (from now defunct Online game, SpaceMerchant, and I believe the only ship that got an official picture)

Only ships I don't really like are the Trekkie ships, the two engine things just seem completely wrong. Newer Versions that I've seen make it a little better than the '60s, but it still doesn't really seem right.

Battlestar Galactica was a cool looking ship. It looked more 'realistic' in a sense than almost any other major SciFi ship. (Erm, even though it operated in 2 dimensions... ) The ships on Space: 1999 were actually quite good. Both the 'Eagle' flying from the Moonbase and the various alien ships were very realistic. It's too bad the show itself was so uneven. But undoubtedly the very coolest SciFi ships were the 'organic' tech ships on Babylon 5. The Shadow 'battlecrab' ships, the Vorlon 'squids', and 'Vorlon-derivative' Whitestar ships were all more dangerous looking than an entire fleet of Star Trek tinker-toy ships. Star Trek ships may look good from certain angles but they don't look like real space ships, and that is essential to really looking 'good' in my mind.
