Note the plural (so choose several if you want).

Star Citizen has some bananas designs. This actually looks like something humans would actually build and it brings shivers down my spine:

honorable mention:

Starfury from babylon 5

2001 Space transport

 

[WorldStar]

.

 

[drunkendonuts]

USG Ishimura

Endymion FRS MK 3

 

[Moff]

noting beats imperial ship design

 

[OricWindstar]

Swordfish II from Cowboy Bebop

You kind of have to see this baby in action to fully grasp it, but I fucking love it.

 

[Valnen]

noting beats imperial ship design

For some reason I fucking love Star Destroyers. So intimidating. Yeah nothing tops imperial stuff for me either.

Least favorite would go to EVE online personally.

 

[mrklaw]

So many great designs.

Star Wars classics : X-Wing, Tie fighter, Star Destroyer

Chris Foss illustrations

Babylon 5 Starfury

I have a cheesy soft spot for the ship from Battle Beyond the Stars

Who can't love a spaceship with boobs?

 

[plasmawave]

Literally a space ship.

 

[Norml]

Destiny in SGU.The design and sounds are cool!

 

[Log4Girlz]

Gradius is actually pretty bad ass

 

[sleverfunk]

Battlecruiser

Prometheus Ship

Normandy

 

[CMDBob]

A classic, but still my all time favourite.

 

[andymcc]

Gradius is actually pretty bad ass

the ship is called the Vic Viper.

 

[Walshicus]

Destiny in SGU.The design and sounds are cool!

Still hurts that we'll see no more of it...

 

[block tower]

the Slave I from Star Wars.

 

[Log4Girlz]

the Slave I from Star Wars.

Now that's a bad ass one, so unique.

[ComputerMKII]

The space ship from Avatar

 

[TheVampire]

Species 8472 bioship

Kicked the Borg's ass.
And join a few together and they can blow up planets.

Funny enough I was watching spaceballs for the first time last night. Don't think I laughed once.

 

[lednerg]

The Explorers

Seriously, the whole bubble thing was cool as hell.

 

[vikki]

I like the concept of The Arcadia from Harlock. It's pretty much a submarine for outer space.

Funny enough I was watching spaceballs for the first time last night. Don't think I laughed once.

That's too bad, because it's a funny movie.

 

[Dictator93]

Big fan of Battlestars from the reimagined series. I love how they function and look.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Since I was a child, I always thought Macross fighters were the coolest thing in the universe. I still think it.

[Sword Familiar]

Vic Viper, as mentioned earlier, is probably my favorite.

Another one that's pretty cool is the Ragnarok from FFVIII:

...although I'm not sure if it's an actual spaceship or if it

Spoiler

just ended up in space for some other reason

. Don't remember.

 

[PotionBleue]

Stargate's Puddle Jumper but I can't find any nice pic of it.

Also Stargate Atlantis City itself

 

[lednerg]

Stargate's Puddle Jumper but I can't find any nice pic of it.

Also Stargate Atlantis City itself

Yes. Stargate Atlantis and Universe had some really well thought-out designs.

Also, the TARDIS.

 

[revolverjgw]

Flesh Gordon's was pretty nice

 

[Wiktor]

Moya from Farscape, really sold the idea it was a live being

Kilrathi's ships from Wing Commander always looked very cool to me

Also..Homeworl series has some truly incredible space ship designs

 

[nico1982]

noting beats imperial ship design

Came to post this.

 

[RaginRoss]

Always loved these. The super quick 180 flip especially.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

Flesh Gordon's was pretty nice

It was always destined to crash on boob planet and its crew ravaged by a flamboyant 50 ft penis they "cannot accommodate".

 

[Randy Monk]

Funny enough I was watching spaceballs for the first time last night. Don't think I laughed once.

The farce is strong in this one

 

[markot]

All the star wars ships really, at least the originals, were great.

Hell I could just post them all >.< a wings, b wings, y wings... the imperial ships, the rebel ships...

I want another rogue squadron game... without ground missions >.<

 

[AxeMan]

Surprised no one has done this

MEGA MAID

 

[Crimson-Death]

 

[DarkFlow]

For the Emperor!

 

[Gormless Noodle]

Can't leave Star Fox unmentioned, now can we.

I'd give Ikaruga a mention also, but I'm not sure it can actually fly in space

 

[Marvel]

These ships from Destiny.

And the Normandy SR-1 from Mass Effect.

 

[jacksnap]

Nearly all this dude's designs

 

[DiscoJer]

While the movie kinda sucked (okay, really), I thought the space ship (the Cygnus) in The Black Hole was neat

Like a gothic cathedral in space

 

[PaulloDEC]

A few that leapt to mind:

Serenity (Firefly)

Heart of Gold (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)

Star-Lord's Ship (Guardians of the Galaxy)

Unnamed (No Man's Sky)

 

[fierrotlepou]

The Icarus II from Sunshine.

Alien (1979) Derelict.

The one from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This might be my absolute favorite, even though it's pretty basic. There's just something about this one that freaks me out.

 

[Data West]

Come on.

Even the interior is sweet

 

[teruterubozu]

Literally a space ship.

I love the entire Matsumoto universe

 

[JordanN]

Starcraft's ships still hold a special place in my heart.

Not only are the designs cool, but the pilots make them more expressive.

Carrier has arrived
Battlecruiser operation

When you heard those lines, you knew you won.

The X-Wing from Star Wars is also a beautiful ship. It's usually the first thing I associate with "futuristic spacecraft".

 

[block tower]

Now that's a bad ass one, so unique.

i know, its exactly what you'd want to be in flying around the galaxy. it lands horizontally but flies vertically. its dope as hell. if you look up the audio for it you'll hear the sexy growl lol.

 

[Funky Papa]

Destiny in SGU.The design and sounds are cool!

And now I'm sad...

 

[GrandHarrier]

Hnnnngh. So good.

I've always loved the SDF-1 and stuff like Battle Seven, Frontier, etc that followed.
