AWWWWWW YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH

I had forgotten that this existed

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Constitution Refit from the original 6 Star Trek movies.

Excalibur from Wing Commander 3 and 4.

 

[Sir Walter Taffy]

Both of these are awesome, especially the Constitution Refit

Constitution Refit from the original 6 Star Trek movies.

BC-304 - Stargate Atlantis and later SG1

And I'm quite surprised this beauty hasn't mentioned yet

 

[Proelite]

Motherfucking pirate ship in space.

Humongous and not as pretty movie version.

 

[AlwaysPlaying]

last starfighter

 

[MikeDown]

last starfighter

such a great movie

 

[Oshimai]

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.

B-Wing was my go to ship in the Rogue Squadron games. It's unfortunate that the N64 game didn't have B-Wings though...

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Love TNG, but I find the Galaxy Class to be one of Starfleets ugliest ships.

Agreed.

I like NASA's warp drive concept.

Hey, that looks familiar...

 

[JetBlackPanda]

so many great ones in here my favorites have been retreat a million times.

This one is recent and pretty great.

Prometheus Landing Sequence

 

[Pickman]

Humongous and not as pretty movie version.

Not as pretty, but I really liked the way it moved with the dark matter smoke and all. I watched this last night and I thought it was a pretty entertaining piece.

 

[Divvy]

I've always been fan of the Starfleet designs, like the Excelsior class:

And the lesser known Steamrunner class:

And the Defiant of course:

 

[Zakalwe]

Mech/ship. Love the design.

 

[MrCunningham]

Constitution Refit from the original 6 Star Trek movies.

The Enterprise from 4, 5 and 6 was actually the Enterprise- A. The original refit was destroyed in the third movie. Though technically they were the same ship, as all six movies used the same model for the exterior shots to save money on production costs. But the Enterprise-A interior was quite a bit different, especially the bridge, and the torpedo bay which was fully automated unlike the previous ship.

I've always been fan of the Starfleet designs, like the Excelsior class:

This is a pretty cool design too. The Enterprise- B was basically just an Excelsior class.

Prometheus Landing Sequence

This one is great too... shame about the movie though. ;P

I always liked the Solaco as well:

 

[Escape Goat]

And the lesser known Steamrunner class:

I'd hate to have my quarters so close to those impulse engines. Evreryone ends up with space cancer or something.

 

[Commander Jameson]

My all-time favourite has already been mentioned here (the Eagle from Space:1999), but if we are allowing general flying craft, then another Gerry Anderson creation would be Thunderbird 2.

 

[zonezeus]

GTCv Deimos-class corvettes

Freespace is (obviously) full of great ship designs, but these were always my favourite.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Damn, I used to have that.

 

[Fjordson]

I like this one, but I don't understand the idea behind the bubble bit.

It was a design for Jodorowsky's Dune movie, so I believe it's carrying Melange in there (powerful drug that's like the single most valuable commodity in the book).

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Outlaw Star

 

[GeneralArrow]

A little known show created by Gene Roddenberry. This ship will always have my heart, props to those who know what it is.

[Armoured Priest]

Ranger 1,4

Ranger Interceptor

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

Yeah, it did. In the episode "Armada" you got exactly what it said on the tin. That show was crazy detailed for an 80s cartoon...TMS being involved probably had something to do with that. (I might be biased considering my avatar). Someone further back posted one the Queen of the Crown's Imperial Cruisers.

 

[Karak]

Shit I was beaten about Galaxy Rangers but damn.

Also the Shadows from B5 were a mixture of the mystery of 2001 and the terror of everything else in space. Something about them was just gawd damn unsettling.

Freelancer Ship

 

[Abraxas]

just weird and cool.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Can only see a man screaming. Thrusters are the eyes, Cockpit the screaming mouth. Wings his elf ears.

It took every ounce of will power, but I un-saw it.

 

[kharma45]

And the lesser known Steamrunner class:

Reminds me of the Akira class

 

[Arkos]

Has no one mentioned the ATHF Dick Ship?

I also always liked the ID4 alien fighter

 

[Walshicus]

I quite like the Enterprise F design used in STO:

Oh, and who doesn't love the TOS-style Miranda class?

 

[Proelite]

Dorssia Heavy Cruiser from Valvrave.

Technically not a space ship. For Now. It'll probably gain space flight abilities in order to fight Thanos in the 2nd or 3rd avengers movie.

Nautilus 2 from Nadia, secret of Blue Water

 

[Proelite]

Sahara class heavy prowler from Halo.

Rodger young from Starship Troopers. Probably the best designed space ship imo in western films.

 

[Escape Goat]

I quite like the Enterprise F design used in STO:



Oh, and who doesn't love the TOS-style Miranda class?

Miranda just screams budget restrictions. Like they had these Enterprise parts laying around and came up with a new ship.

 

[GeneralArrow]

Miranda just screams budget restrictions. Like they had these Enterprise parts laying around and came up with a new ship.

More like technical restrictions, Seasons 2 and 3 we're both huge for TNG(and got subsequently larger) and TNG was a big budget TV production. It's advertising per episode alone was over 1 million which for a show back then was huge. It was what they called a first run syndication. Pretty much the first time such a thing had succeeded.

 

[DrForester]

Oddly enough, while I think the Galaxy class is ugly, I love the look of the Nebula class ships.

 

[Proelite]

Ship from vandread.

Imperium Ultra Class Star Destroyer.

tuari Excalibur

 

[Mistel]

Speaking of the lesser known classes the Yeager class that was in the background in DS9 was pretty nifty:

 

[way more]

The Dune Guild Transport.

It's a good look for a spaceship that doesn't use thrusters and will never approach an atmosphere.

 

[GungHo]

The Dune Guild Transport.

It's a good look for a spaceship that doesn't use thrusters and will never approach an atmosphere.

Why do I expect Stephen Dorff to sell me one?

 

[commedieu]

Space: Above and Beyond had some cool looking ships. I especially liked the Hammerhead's detachable cockpit.

Can't find any better pictures.. but I loved the alien ships and the hammerhead. Nice to see people actually remember.

 

[j_k_redtail]

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

My man.

 

[Drain You]

Do Gundam count? Cause I've always loved this design even though it is ridiculous. Probably gonna get shit for it but whatever, nostalgia speaks to me. Also Deathsycthe.

 

[HylianTom]

From The Phantom Planet..

(it comes with a gentle glide applicator!)

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

here are some cool ones from the always fun to browse conceptships blog:

quoted for size

 

[DD]

This one is great!

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Oh, and who doesn't love the TOS-style Miranda class?

Goddamit it's about time, why did it take 6 pages for someone to post......

Really love the TOS miranda, especially the movie version.

I have the model version, love it.

Though I hated it at first, the JJ-prise really grew on me.

 

[DrForester]

Speaking of the lesser known classes the Yeager class that was in the background in DS9 was pretty nifty:

So the Janeway and Chakotay shippers kind of got their wish?

 

[kinn]

From Ulysses.

 

[Mistel]

So the Janeway and Chakotay shippers kind of got their wish?

Pretty much yes.

 

[SpoonyBard]

Enterprise from ST TMP. I'm one of the seeimly few people who liked the shuttle fly-by scene.

 

[Sword Familiar]

This one is great!

img

Yeah, that one doesn't look bad actually.

 

[Proelite]

Obligatory size chart.

Helghan Cruiser is decently designed.

 

[SamuelSupreme]

Swordfish II from Cowboy Bebop

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

Omg I love this.

Can I say The Normandy from Mass Effect?
