Favorite SF spaceships?

Hey, this is SciFi-Meshes, so folks should all have an opinion on this one: what are your favorite sci-fi spaceships?Cap ship or fighter, doesn't matter. What designs inspired you?

My personal list

1. The Imperial Star Destroyer (surprise!) - Star Wars: OT
2. The Millenium Falcon - ditto
3. The refitted Enterprise - Star Trek:TMP, II-III
4. The Enterprise-E - Star Trek: First Contact, etc.
5. Battlestar Galactica (2003)
6. The Roger Young - Starship Troopers
7. T-65 X-Wing - Star Wars:OT
8. TIE Interceptor - Star Wars:ROTJ
9. Gunstar - the Last Starfighter
10. Battlestar Galactica (1978)

As for fan-made designs: The Krasnoi Class Missile Destroyer - Steve "Coolhand" Tyler. And, no, I'm not kissing up to Steve just because he's a Sensei. That ship rocked hard, man.

My inner child got his ass kicked by my inner juvenile delinquent...

Serenity. Pretty much anything from Star Wars. The al'kesh and Anubis' super-duper mothership from SG-1. Wraith hive ship. Buck Rogers interceptor.

I have always been fond of the ship from The Flight of the Navigator... an awesome little machine with technology and capabilities rarely seen or matched in Sci-Fi... I'll avoid the obvious choices, you guys have that covered.

Hmm, can't believe I left out Discovery from 2001. Or the Leonov from 2010, for that matter. So many ships...

I kindof like the "Betty" from Alien Resurrection alot... small , dirty, but definitely cool design.

The number one place in my book goes to the TARDIS. There's something infinitely charming in a time-warping phone booth. Sorry, police box.

After that, well... from Trek the upgraded Excelsior, Nebula, Akira and NX class, Vor'cha and D'deridex.

Star Wars, I have no particular favorite, except perhaps the Lambda shuttle.

Stargate... well who can resist a flying pyramid?

The 2010 Leonov and the B5 Omega class share a spot too. The spinning middle section looks just cool.
