Never liking to go main-stream, here are my choices folks and folkina's 1. Ship from 'The Flight of the Navigator' - all time favourite childhood ship  2. The craft from 'Innerspace' (yeah ok its not actualy a space craft but with a film title like that its pretty close   3. Nibblers Spaceship in Futurama  4. Star Wars A-Wing  5. Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer  6. Mars Attacks Flying Saucer  7. Darth Maul's Infiltrator (Star Wars) One of the nicer designs to come out of the prequals. There werent many  8. The Virago (From Star Wars - Shadow of the Empire)  9. The little-used 'Thunderbird 3'  10. Klingon Bird of Prey  |

I always liked the alien craft from Robinson Crusoe on Mars;  They are practically the same design as the '53 WOTW movie Martian craft, but without the eyestalk thingmabob. They even made the same sounds! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLaHJvF59Fg(Goto 02:37) |

maybe im strange, but.. logicly my all time favorate ship is Melissa and Leslies "Shuttlebug" from Zak Mckracken  its why ive been trying to track down a split windscreen VW van all these years... still trying Second comes close in at the Excelsior Class starship of startrek.. although.. still used 100 years after its initial design.. it just looks good. like using a steam engine in modern day railways.. its got a class about it that no other modern design has  thinking i'd never like a new scifi ship again ive been proven wrong recently when I aquired a softspot for a Colonial Raptor from BSG new series, I love the very.. human.. design.. the fact there a small auxillery craft appeals to me.. especially since they can be damaged.. ST shuttles didnt seem to be damaged a hell of alot.. oh.. but one must say I only like a raptor if boomers flying it..  |

Welcome shuttlebug! I've still got my trusty old Excelsior model, it's indeed a brilliant and elegant design.  |

I will not only back you up, I will raise you one video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBu1cZm4GqgA blast from the past. I found this series to be both ridiculous in concept and brilliant in execution. I'm glad the Japanese are running this show because they will play it completely straight. |

Ah, the Yamato, the most powerful battleship ever built. Of course, I'm referring to the 75,000 ton super-dreadnought completed in early 1942. Armed with 9 18.1 inch guns in three turrets (each turret weighed as much as a contemporary destroyer) it was the most powerful warship of WWII. By comparison, the most powerful battleship from the US was the Iowa class, with 9 16 inch guns; the British King George V with 10 14 inch guns; the French Richelieu with 8 15 inch guns; the German Bismarck with 8 15 inch guns; and the Italian Littorio with 9 15 inch guns. The Yamato, and her sister Musashi, were powerful indeed, but were already obsolete when they were completed. In the War, the aircraft carrier emerged as the dominant surface warship, bar none. The Yamato's only successful engagement amounted only to sinking an American escort aircraft carrier (escort carriers were small aircraft carriers built on top of merchant hulls, designed to escort convoys against submarines), and the Musashi sank nothing. Both battleships were destroyed by swarms of US Navy torpedo bombers and dive bombers launched off of carriers. And that is why there is not a single battleship in service with any navy today. They are expensive and no one has a need for them. And by the way, the space battleship is an exact copy of the Yamato, just "spacified."  |
