Okay, now I'm in dire need of some sort of media with spaceships in it. Might be a good time to start watching Babylon-5 or something.

Not sure how much longer it will be, but Amazon has the Stargate Atlantis Blu-ray for $59.96.

No love for Legend of the Galactic Heroes? Brunhilde and Percival ftw

 

[Nostremitus]

I miss those Factor 5 games... they had some great cockpit models!

can't even find a proper image online of the Buick in Rogue Leader

Yeah, it hurt when they folded.

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.

A few more favorites from my childhood.

Galaxy Rangers... It's like the epitome of generic 80's sci-fi design.

 

[Dr Zhivago]

Nostromo

Narcissus

Both from Alien

 

[Mistel]

Zero X:

Plus it's a lovely Shigeru Komatsuzaki illustration.

 

[farmerboy]

Sooo many great designs, I am drooling over here.

Cant post a picture but Ronin's (?) ship from Guardians of the Galaxy is my current fave, really interesting to look at, also like how it twists.

 

[Night Hunter]

Terran ships from Perry Rhodan

Because let's be honest. Might not be flashy, but at a certain level of technology it just makes sense.

 

[elrechazado]

All of the ships in mass effect 1.
The battleships from fifth element.

 

[Deleted member 245925]

So many great ship designs in EVE Online.

Abaddon

Hel

Megathron

Machariel

Could go on and on...

 

[Coolness]

Even though the show sucked, I still loved the design of Voyager.

 

[Monocle]

The Super Star Destroyer is my favorite spaceship of all time. Such a simple yet imposing design. Fantastic.

 

[fierrotlepou]

I've already posted, but I thought of another ship while conversing with friends.

The District 9 ship definitely deserves a mention. Not especially because it's original, but because of the way it's portrayed. It's so realistic and "scary". It really has a presence and immediately shows us, humans, the technological inferiority we have in comparison with these creatures. It's powerful. Just like the ship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind that I mentioned in my previous post.

 

[QualityPixel]

Planet Express Ship from the episode 2-D Blacktop

and it's 2D version

And the SR2 Version of the Normandy in Mass Effect 3

 

[Spring-Loaded]

 

[CreepingFear]

I've always thought Imperial Shuttle's were pretty cool.

 

[Log4Girlz]

THAT is the best ship to you? Holy shit.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

THAT is the best ship to you? Holy shit.

Hyping it up was an attempt to get people to find that image for me since I was on mobile. Most of the time, GAFers (nerds) can't resist proving someone wrong, so I thought it was foolproof

 

[Toxi]

Though some may object, the Death Star is a ship. It has a hyperdrive and can move under its own power. And what a ship it is, one big moon-sized orb of destruction with the world's largest laser gun ready to point at and blow up a planet.

I wonder how you get a small moon to move several thousand times the speed of light.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I wonder how you get a small moon to move several thousand times the speed of light.

Probably the same way you get enough energy to cause an earthlike planet to disintegrate and explode outwards at an enormous fraction of C.

 

[Log4Girlz]

I wonder how you get a small moon to move several thousand times the speed of light.

Just imagine how much force that would require.

 

[MrCunningham]

noting beats imperial ship design

I would like to think that Ralph McQuarrie was 50% of what made the original Star Wars trilogy so good and things haven't quite been the same without him or his amazing designs and concept art. He was one of the true geniuses of the franchise.

 

[Whitelines]

This one

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

maybe we should make a thread where GAF designs their own space ships.

 

[Nostremitus]

We have one, it's the KSP OT. (Only half joking)

 

[Chuckie]

TIE Bomber

TIE Interceptor

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Yeah I meant drawings or custom models

 

[Bold One]

The Super Star Destroyer is my favorite spaceship of all time. Such a simple yet imposing design. Fantastic.

those thrusters are the size of multiple skyscrappers stacked on top of each other

 

[Lime]

Homeworld 1 and 2 (mostly art inspired by Chris Foss and Peter Elson)

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

I'm trying to think.. did the prequel trilogy have any great ship designs that weren't just spin offs of designs from the old movies?

 

[Phat Michael]

On mobile so hard to post. The YF-21 from macros plus. Also, the SDF-1, and female power armour.

 

[Onyar]

Ikaruga for the memories and the style of the ship.

 

[Escape Goat]

Ikaruga for the memories and the style of the ship.

I can't make heads or tails out of this. Which part is the front? lol

 

[Fenderputty]

Thread compliance achieved.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

After having a good look at the design in the GOTG art book I love the Milano.

 

[Phoenix]

Ranger 1,4

Ranger Interceptor

Old TV Series Galaxy Rangers. Had some of the best space opera battles in a TV show.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Something about the Infinity is just so fucking amazing to me.

GOAT

 

[Ebris]

I posted the Retribution-class Battleship from Warhammer 40k, but Imperial Star Destroyers, Super Star Destroyers, Homeworld ships, and Eve ships are also all amazing.

 

[Exalted]

Here are some nice ones from EVE that i like ;

 

[4444244]

My fave definately has to be the Shadow ships;

 

[Sephzilla]

I like the whole concept that this ship is basically a space yacht that's also armed to the teeth.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Literally a space ship.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199? Excellent series.

 

[Log4Girlz]

maybe we should make a thread where GAF designs their own space ships.

The "That's a penis" thread.
