As a flipside to the "sexy spacecraft" thread, what do you think is the most pug-ug piece of feiwu to take to the black? I'll start by nominating the Daedalus class from Star Trek.

I love it, and don't get mad, but the Melenium falcon is fugly. It looks like a break shim with a satelite dish on it......Sorry


*edit*
Cruith your nomination is going to be hard to beat. I laugh just looking at it........

Great Thread Cruithne3753:

I actually have a ship in mind that I thought was awful. I can not find a picture of it. I wonder why? It was in a movie called "Battle Beyond the Stars". They stole the script from the "Magnificent Seven". This movie is the worst science fiction I have ever seen. Actually it is the worst movie I have ever seen.

But returning to the subject. The ship was pink or flesh colored. That should give you a hint how horrible it was. If any body can find a picture of it before me, please post it here.

You have never seen anything this ugly before.

Oh...you mean the flying female torso John Boy Walton flies? It was certainly an interesting design...but ugly? I dunno...

Personally, I think an ugly ship were the fighters flown by Wilma Deering and Buck Rogers in the 80s version of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century." Those suckers look like some trying to jazz up a doorstop

Hello BlueEyedBrigadier:

That is the spaceship I am looking for. I can not find it anywhere. I have searched for it and learned more about the movie than I cared to know.

Thank you Cruithne3753.

That is the offending creature I have been searching for. To bad the picture is so dark. If you saw it in better light you would throw-up.
Can you tell I really hate this ship.

Not a good picture, there is a good one on google images but it's too big.

I love that movie; had a budget that would feed a youth hostel dinner, once, if you didn't want them to eat. Roger Corman gold!

No redeeming merit except for Sybil Danning's chest (She played a Space Valkarye) and Corman's genius for fun.

In fact, if you listen to the dialogue, a lot of it is very Firefly-esque:
Nell: 30 seconds and counting, Zed. 29, 28, 27, 24, 15, 22... did I... did I say 15?
-----------
Nestor 1: [eating a hot dog for the first time] There's no dog in this.
Cowboy: Uh-uh.
Nestor 1: Hydrolyzed vegetable protein, soybean meal, niacin, dextrose, and sodium nitrate flavoring.
Cowboy: Yup, that's what we call "meat" back home.
------------
Sador: Are you capable of speech?
Nestor 2: Yes, quite capable.
Sador: And do you have a high tolerance for pain?
Nestor 2: Almost none at all, I'm afraid.
Sador: How unfortunate for you. So... How many ships do the Akira have, and what are their capabilities?
Nestor 2: If I told you that, it would give you an unfair advantage.
Sador: This is Frojo, my Third Officer. Frojo is expert at inflicting pain... while keeping the victim alive.
Nestor 2: ...It's good to have skills.

Ship is hysterical crap, though.
