I had it on the list I made for the other thread @GAROVORKIN started. Quote I'm not sure which really is my favorite, but what I mainly like: From Star Wars - the Imperial Star Destroyer, the Clone Wars era Venator-class star destroyer, the X-Wing fighter From Star Trek - the Sovereign-class Federation starship (Enterprise E was it?) From Battlestar Galactica (re-imagined) - the overall design of the battlestars, with the Pegasus being my favorite From Stargate - the X-304 Daedalus-class battlecruiser, the Destiny From Babylon 5 - the Star Fury fighter of Earth Force From Mass Effect - the Normandy and the Tempest From Homeworld - the Pride of Hiigara I would also add the new star destroyers from Star Wars, the Resurgent class.

Which Tyler Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 TARDIS and Millennium Falcon, obviously; with honourable mentions for Discovery One and the Heart of Gold* If including books, then Rama joins the list; whilst computer games would bring in the Starship Titanic onto the honourable mentions (technically, books could do this too) * Seriously, any ship that can turn a nuclear missile into a pissed off bowl of petunias has got to get an honourable mention at the very least.

Werthead Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The spacecraft from the three Homeworld games have simply never been bettered for video game ship designs. Heavily influenced by Chris Foss and Peter Elson 1970s SF book covers, they're all pretty good but the Homeworld 2 Mothership is still incredible. It's the only spaceship model I still own. Of the Star Trek ships, the movie Enterprise/Enterprise-A remains absolutely definitive. I'm also a big fan of the Mercury-class Pegasus from Battlestar Galactica.

That is really cool, though I have to say even though I've played neither game, in pure visuals the Normandy is equally so. Just looking at this topic, and doing a bit of googling, though, it's gotta be said, video game spaceship design has been underwhelming through the years. A lot of the designs that keep popping up on people's lists are obvious homages/blatant ripoffs of existing movie ships, like the Arwing or Nishimura, and others just aren't that interesting to look at (Samus' gunship keeps popping up, and that's just downright ugly). I'm assuming there are some examples on lesser-talked about games but there doesn't seem to be a deep pool of awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Conflict: Freespace and Freespace 2 also have some outstanding ship designs, and Elite: Dangerous has some pretty good stuff (some going right back to the original Elite in 1984). There's some okay stuff in EVE Online, Starlancer and the Mass Effect games. But Homeworld, Homeworld: Cataclysm and Homeworld 2 are really where it's all at.

A True Kaniggit Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Some of the stuff created in Kerbals. Though it is sad when you send someone on a mission and they don't have enough fuel to return home. Poor Jeb. Always stranded on a distant planet waiting for a rescue that I never send.

Fiddler Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 One ship I was always fascinated by, merely from a strangeness perspective, was the B-wing from Star Wars. I mean, it was always such an awkward looking ship, but something about the shape I just thought was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I'd think you would've chosen a ship that didn't lose you the war. Like a Mon Calamari Cruiser. Now THOSE were some fine vessels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
