Gorramit, I forgot about both the Heart of Gold and the Bistromath. And I dare to call myself a HHGTTG fan!

Never could see the attraction of Slave 1, though.

"What was that?"

I would have to say hands down I would take the corellian corevette, fast yet roomie.

For just one person the z96 headhunter.

also slave I would just be cool to tool about in.

Having played through X-wing, Tie Fighter, and X-wing vs. Tie Fighter, I am a bit biased towards the Tie Defender as my favorite interceptor/fighter. However, I was always partial to the Vasudan Destroyer for some type of major Capitol ship. they may not have been the most powerful Capitol ships, but they were, "Aesthetically Pleasing." Maybe you can tell I played Freespace a bit too when I say that I like the Valkrie Fighter. I don't think I'll include too many Star Trek Ships... Never cared for the Feds, they looked like they'd be pretty weak against a snub fighter (get in under the shield and torpedo the connection twixt the Nacelle and the Saucer). I'd like to throw a bit of defense in the direction of the B-wing. Yes, they do stink in Star Wars: Rebel Alliance, but that game isn't exactly designed to be a snub fighter game.

Now to put these all in order...

1. Valkrie (Freespace)
2. Tie Defender (Star Wars Universe)
3. Vasudan Destroyer (Freespace)
4. Thor's Chariot(Stargate)
5. SDF 1 (Robotech)
6. Andromeda(Andromeda)

Quite like Tintin's red and white checkered V2 rocket. That and the cast-iron bunkbed affairs they had as pilots' seats / couches.

However, a VW Bus I've loved for years is...

The Miata also has a (Gerry Anderson) Supercar look to it. www.beaterz.com

Sadly missing is the girl in proper Star Wars Fighter pilot gear with her wee car painted up like an X-Wing. (Not too bad, actually...)

Just based on my name here I'd want to name the Hooded Swan, which is a great ship compared to every other ship in its universe, but really doesn't have anything special about it beyond that.

I doff my very fine hat to you, StarPilotGrainger; your post got me to register with fff.net. Brian Stableford is sadly overlooked as a writer of classic spanner and grommet space operas and I have read several copies of his Granger series to death.

My nominee is the spaceship from It! The Terror From Beyond Space. In the far off future of 1973 it is a roomy, single stage to orbit ship that is so ruggedly built, you can let off 11 hand grenades in the ventilation system and have a bazooka fight on the bridge.

Sure, it looks like the hood ornament on a 1954 Olds but it far superior to anything we have today. A close look at the ship's plan in one scene shows it doesn't carry any fuel and yet it can maintain 1g acceleration all the way to Mars and back.

I don't know if any others have thought this but wouldn't it have been fun if Joss had shot some scenes in Bronson Caves (Batman tv, It Conquered the World, Wild Wild West, Robot Monster) and Vasquez Rocks (where Kirk battled the lizard man and many others) as a tip of the (very fine) hat to those who came before?

I can only express puzzlement, that borders on alarm.

I agree with most of you anyway - although my personal favourite would be the Heart of Gold - the wackiness!

...and we will call it...this land...

As long as Kaylee comas with it (To keep things repaired of course). Otherwise I'd like to have a Tardis.

I could stand to hear a little more.

I'm not actually sure if I can wiz around the Universe in it...but if I have to spend any amount of time on a space ship I'm going to pick:

The Fhloston Paradise from the Fifth Element.

I'm not interested in going fast or kicking any butt. I want luxury. Comfy State Rooms, Five Star Dinners, World Class Entertainment.

Now, let's be clear, Serenity is by far my favorite ship. I'm also partial to Enterprise D, Voyager and the Milennium Falcon....but I don't want to spend a lot of time on military or cargo ships....especially ones prone to being pulled over by the authorities or that have pieces that tend to fall off at inconvenient times.

Guess I'm just soft....

Did anyone here read "The Micronauts" comics?
I always wanted to ride in the Endeavor. *sigh*

It has a nice humble appearance similar to Serenity.
Very homey!
Here's a few pics (not my site):

So,
Serenity
Endeavor
or that shiny thing Padme flew off in to search for
Anakin.
