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.

I've never really liked the star wars ships. They do have some nice fighters though.

I kinda like some star trek ships, but as mentioned earlier, you get some of them from the wrong angle and they just look ugly.

B5 has some very nice ships. I can't wait to see the new series, the cgi crew for B5 has really gotten a lot better.

What? No adnromeda fans out there? It has some of the most complex looking ships in Sci Fi.

Definitely, the Imperial Star destroyers from Star Wars are my favorite ships and have been for, well, twenty-plus years. I also like the troop ships from Starship Troopers. My favorite fighter is probably the Gunstar from The Last Starfighter.

Hands down this has gotta be the 'Argo' (Starblazers) for me. Followed closely by the Phoenix (Battle of the Planets/G-Force). It's not really a ship but I also like the T.A.R.D.I.S (Dr.Who). Now the most fearsome looking ship has to go to a Super Star Destroyer (Vader's ship in Empire).

I think the Heart of Gold (Hitch Hiker's Guide) was probably one of the most entertaining ships in any sci-fi series I have ever seen/read.

The Dark Knife (one of the Bab 5 ancient ships) was also pretty cool, but it was barely seen in the show.
