That being said, I prefer Serenity. I just like her lines. Moya has a very simplistic shape. Serenity has a shape to her.

check this site they got farscape Moya, Star Trek Enterprise, a real Boeing 747 diagram, the Xwing out of Starwars, and Babylon-5 spacecraft

but the webpage has

NO SERENITY !

no Adelei Niska's space station complex, no Alliance ships, no Jubal Early spacecraft, and no Reaver vessels

Romulan Warbird all the way. Klingon Bird of Prey follows close second.

He will put it up rather quickly if someone mails him the proper dimensions and he gets someone to do the artwork. I sent him the dimensions of the Aliens Comanche Dropship and they were up in 2 weeks.

The Commanche Dropship is my favorite class of ships (though technically it is just a shuttle).

Specific ships though it'd have to be Serenity. It has a nice aesthetic to it, is compact but no too much so to get cramped (like being on a sub). Plus it has personality and quirks, one of the things that also made the Millenium Falcon great.

I like Serenity very much, though my first impression of it was, wow, that ship is awkward. I love its interior how close and crowded the inside is.It adds to a sense of togetherness, and it makes you care for the ship.

However, in this respect, Moya is clearly the better ship. While Firefly is often called the "10th character", it really isnt. Moya is literally a character, whose actions affect the rest of the crew dramatically. She is an wonderful charcter, who gives the show a unique flair.

Also, realistically, cmon. Moya has to win. She is undoubtably faster and bigger. Her biological problems are relativly unimportant when compared to the problems with a ship (paying for fuel, general upkeep, and breakdowns, which Moya almost never has, as she is nearly autonomous). And, the most important thing: Starburst.

Moya, by a long shot.

The Liberator from Blake's 7. And in the face of stone-age animation technolgy and a BBC £1.50 production budget.

On Babylon 5, the big Minbari cruisers were good, but the Shadow ships looked well cool and, I believe, started the craze for carbon-fibre everything.

I also have to include Mr Garibaldi's ZZR-1100 as a space vehicle.

Topic, you say? Oh, all right. Serenity.
