OT- Favorite Sci Fi Ship?

[Gryphin]

As an old player of Star Fleet Battles, (both the paper and the Miniatures Version), I loved the Lyran and Gorn ships from there. Maybe I can post a few paint jobs at my site some day.

Completely forgot about the gunstar! That is definitely the coolest fighter to date.

Superstar destroyer? Firghtening? Come on, it's a giant cheese wedge in space. I think the Shadows from B5 had some frightening ships.

it may be a cheese wedge, but its impressive in a monolithic sort of way. the big black rectangles managed to look impressive in 2010. its just sort of daunting.


some really cool capital ships are to be found in the warships section of BattleTech Technical Readout: 2027, the one on lost starleague technology. I think the newer ships look like ***, but Loose's old artwork was top notch. there are also some sweet fighter designs strewn about various battletech books.

another cool fighter, were the ones flown by the big-blue-neohumans in that short lived animated saturday morning show where the humans were over thrown by their own genetic creations and were fighting a guerilla war against them from the moons of jupitor in these powered suits. the Cap ships in that serise were not bad either. what was its name? the only guys name I remember was Bronskie, who at one time was heard to say "Theres nothing like making sure!" after truely overkilling a neohuman. YES! a saturday morning cartoon that glorified war and violence, no wonder it was short lived. i dont think anyone even died in GI JOE, the sensitivity trained wusses.

Exo-Squad. The paint jobs on the fighter craft and Exo-frames looked silly, but yes it was a rather cool show.

Hm. I do like the Andromeda show. Especially since a few battles I've seen on them appear to take distance in space into account. Eg, Rommie fires a bunch of missiles. Show a bunch of dots on the tactical display. Then cut to scene of a bunch of missiles blowing away the target.

Ship - toss up for me between any of the Earthforce capital ships from Babylon 5, or the Saratoga from 'Space above and beyond' (definately not the Chig carriers which look liked the cold frames I grow my herbs in)

Fighter - still think the Starfighter out of Buck Rogers was pretty nifty - had a bit more of a killer look to it than the Viper
