Another vote for the Liberator from good ol’ Blake’s 7. ---

I was a fan of Ship from the X-Men spinoff X-Factor. ---

If I had my druthers, I’d be flying the _Falcon_, of course. My second choice would be the _Heart of Gold_ because it periodically redecorates itself at random. Runners up include _Enterprise-D_, the _Reliant_-class ships, the _Bebop_ (it’s a sea plane! Or a sea-spaceship…), and the old-fashioned Romulan Warbird from “Balance of Terror”. ---

The Eagles from Space:1999 Cylon capital ships Babylon 5 Starfurys Klingon Birds of Prey Star Wars Imperial Battle Cruisers and the big-ass Spaceballs cruiser? People, these vehicles crash or blow up EVERY TIME THEY FLY!! Have a sense of self-preservation. ---

Probably the SDF-1, transformations add a whole other dimension of cool to any ship. But seriously, I think I love them all. The Milennium Falcon, the Enterpise, all have their special place in my mind and I can’t really choose between them because I’ve loved them all best at one time or another. ---

The vipers from BSG. The Galactica itself was a nice design too. [http://www.dragonfyredesigns.bizland.com/viper.jpg](http://www.dragonfyredesigns.bizland.com/viper.jpg) ---

Well, I came in planning to take the _Millenium Falcon_, but then I saw the _Heart of Gold_ mentioned and was torn, so I decided to be original: _Slave I_, Boba Fett’s ship, preferrably with the music selection Fett acquires in Daniel Keys Moran’s “The Last One Standing” ---

When I saw the topic a picture of the Space 1999 Eagle popped in my head. I got on of those when I was a kid. Found it under the Christmas tree. Since that was already mentioned, it made me think of other bad sci-fi shows from my youth. That lead to Hawk’s ship from Buck Rogers and the 25th Century. It had feet! And, a beak! I love the way the wings could retract for space flight and extend for flying in the air. [Pictures](http://members.fortunecity.com/wendhausen/BRStarshipsv3/profile/buckrogers/hawk2.htm) ---

A Vorlon heavy battle cruiser is pretty sweet. ---

Rama. As in “Rendezvous With.” Nothin’ to look at on the outside ([not quite halfway down](http://www.merzo.net/100mpp.htm)), but a whole heapin’ pile of mysteries wrapped in riddles makes it extremely fascinating and very, very cool in my mind. (I’m ignoring the disastrous sequels penned mostly by Gentry Lee.) Though I must say, I was starting to fall in love with the Firefly-class _Serenity._ They’d obviously taken a lot of care with the design and layout of the ship; I loved the details, like the ladder-down-to-sleeping-quarters thing. ---
