hmmmmmmm.

An Imperial Cruiser - Big and pointy
Shadow Ship (B5) - Black, evil and organic
Serenity - Say no more
Sulaco - Has lots of guns and sensors
Millenium Falcon - Fastest piece of junk in the galaxy.

The Argo from Star Blazers

A White Star from Babylon 5

Some ones that I liked that have not been mentioned:

The Valkyrie from Titan AE
The Dropship from the Sulaco (people mentioned the Sulaco, but not the little fighter). Thing could take out a brigade with its firepower.
Not really a spaceship but I always like Korben Dallas' cab from the 5th Element.

Someone mentioned spaceships from books so how about the Thistledown from Eon? It has a chamber that goes on forever?

It all depends on what I am doing. Here's my run down:

Smuggling/Pirating/generally being bad guys: Millennium Falcon or Correllian Corvette Tantive V from Star Wars. I LOVE the look of Serenity, but I'd feel more comfortable with a ship with weapons!

Personal ship or fighter: Slave I, D'Argo's ship in Farscape or Darth Maul's ship

Large ship: Enterprise from ST:TNG or a Star Destroyer

I have a soft spot for cargo ships of all sorts, so I'd have to go with

Serenity
Wild Karrde-even though it looks like a car vacuum cleaner
Millenium Falcon
Bebop-even though it could barely manuever between two planets, let alone anything smaller.

1. Serenity (of course).
2. X-Bomber (from 'Star Fleet', 80s Japanese puppet show - see sfxb.co.uk).
3. Millenium Falcon, the second coolest piece o' junk in the sky.
4. X-Wing. Q. "What good are stunt ships going to be against that?" A. Plenty good.
5. Serenity's shuttles!

>The Argo from Star Blazers

I am suprised that this has only been mentioned once... I have always loved the Space cruiser Yamato (Argo, in the US). Beautiful ship... great story, at least the first couple of series anyway..

Another possibility would be Wolf-1 from the too short lived comic book series Dynamo Joe. Not exactly a ship (in more ways than one) for the maybe one of you out there that will know this obscure reference. But with Wolf-1.. I don't think ANYONE would bother you.. not the alliance.. not the reavers.. not the empire.. or the Klingons... or Cylons.. or Romulans.. or Borgs.. or anyone else. At least they wouldn't try twice.. if they lived the first time that is..

Hmm.. but all that aside.. if I HAD to choose one ship... hmm.. it would be hard to pass up the holodecks from the Enterprise.. but if I had those.. I probably wouldn't ever come out.. ... But Serenity is more than just a ship... it's more than just a thing to get from point A to B.. it would feel the most like home to me.

Someone asked a few weeks ago.. if you were a member of the crew.. what would the others think of you. And granted.. just being thrown into it tomorrow.. it would be scary as all gosset!!! I mean... gun fights.. running from the alliance.. reavers.. It's easy to talk about those things as fiction.. but in reality.. when was the last time any of us was in a gun fight??? Probably never. However... had I been born into and grown up in that environment.. that society.. that universe, No other place to me in sci-fi(that I will mention here anyway ) would feel more like home than Serenity. It's the gritty rusted underbelly of just about all the other Sci-fi out there... and that's exactly a big part of what draws it too me..

The one problem would be.. what would the other crew think of me? Well.. I would be )(#@*$)#(*$)#($ jealous as )#(@$*)#($* of Inara's feelings of Mal.. Hmmm... so maybe I would have to go for the holodecks..

Smaug..

No contest: the original Klingon Battlecruiser from Star Trek TOS. Nothing before or since has ever come close in my book.
