The X-Wing from Star Wars is also a beautiful ship. It's usually the first thing I associate with "futuristic spacecraft".
shocked it took almost 50 posts.
A-Wing
B-Wing
Y-Wing
TIE Advanced
TIE Interceptor
TIE Prototype
all excellent designs.
I love how the B-wing looks like two completely different ships depending how you look at it. I especially like it when viewed in a horizontal perspective.
I used to spam so many B Wings in Star Wars Supremacy.

As usual, I lean heavily on Warhammer 40k for all things Sci Fi. The Imperial Spacefleet is always so huge, gaudy, and ostentatious. I love how stupidly over the top everything is.
The ships are filled with slaves who have had several generations born and raised on the same gun deck. They've never had a breath of fresh air or eaten food that wasn't recycled. They die by the dozens loading a single torpedo and no one cares.
The ships just want to get close enough to hit the opponent with boarding torpedoes filled with hundreds of these guys:

Seriously, the whole bubble thing was cool as hell.
THANK YOU
I've been trying to remember the name of this movie or who was in it for decades.
Every time I've tried to describe what little I could remember of it everyone always guesses Flight of the Navigator

Well yes, as long as you don't count a constitution class starship, d'deridex warbird and two borg cubes as trek ships
Not a space ship, but I really like the look of the James Webb Space Telescope. Might get launched in 2018.
To get a sense of the scale, here is an early model.

you can't put a price on sparks
Do Gundams count?
if we're talking normal spaceships, the Battlestar Galactica (new series) fighters and the main ship itself are really cool to me.
also, the Promethus ship is pretty cool.

Someone recolored the M50 to look similar to the Swordfish II.Swordfish II from Cowboy Bebop
You kind of have to see this baby in action to fully grasp it, but I fucking love it.

Also more M50 goodness!
Too much goddamn talent in this thread.

Sleak, elegant, formidable. This thing is a beast.
What the federation lacks in cool mobile suit designs, they gain in awrsome ships

I might be the only one to remember it, but the Lexx was really unique (and big)... and got pregnant by a dragonfly...

The best. It's even better in its "cruising" shape. Out of all media, this is the ship I fantasized about flying around in the most.

I was always more fascinated by the steps than the ship itself. I was an odd child.

Loved missions in these in tie fighter
That looks ridiculous. It looks like something Solyndra would make if they were making a spaceship.
Amen.
Yeah it worked because it was so damn inscrutable. All you had was a largely featureless cylinder, a glowing ball and the sound design. It succeeded in being alien not by doing more but doing much less.

I think
that's what he uses to go out in space at the end of the movie
This. My first true love the space shuttles were so cool and looked so futuristic for something that came out in the 80's.
All the star wars ships really, at least the originals, were great.
I also loved the star destroyers they were my favorite vehicle in the star wars series .
The Kushan corvette class ship designs from Homeworld always struck me as brutish, functional workhorses and I love them for it. No elegance to their shape, just "cram as much armor and firepower into as small a space as possible."
My pick - Homeworld
Oh yes. Take a look at this Homeworld-inspired fanart by some Deviantart dude:

The M50's mentioned but no Constellation? Heresy. Just look at this magnificent beast:

Ugh, there's this spaceship on some album cover for some relatively recent artist... I can't remember the album name, but it's something like "in the lightest dark" or something... can't remember the artist.
It's got the album title in white serif-bold lettering, two lines with like a red stroke underneath the two lines, maybe. There's this spaceship hovering low over a planet's surface and there's no atmosphere, it's just space/stars in the background. The color's are vibrant, the planet surface is kinda yellow-orange. There's a spaceman walking toward the ship.
I like that spaceship
EDIT: It's also way, WAY fucking better than everything posted so far. It puts all of these ships to shame.
