Re: Favourite sci-fi Spaceship ?
So many to choose from.
I love Star Trek, but only the d'deridex class warbird ever stood out as being a cool design.
Starwars was full of cool stuff, Y-Wings, B-Wings, Slave One.
In B5 it's got to be the Starfury.
The Valkyrie (etal) Variable fighters from Macross are pretty cool.

Eagle Transporter - Space 1999
Fucking hell...1999 was the future when I was watching it.
And guess what...I had one of these as a kid. No idea what became of it:

The Rocinante. Probably not much to look at though...

Re: Favourite sci-fi Spaceship ?

Perihelion from the Murderbot Diaries (also known as ART asshole research transport).
It's an AI controlled ship and yes, it really is an asshole...

Sleeper Service, a plate class Culture excentric General Systems Vehicle.
No pics, I just liked it in the book.

Re: Favourite sci-fi Spaceship ?
I like them when they look 'battle worn' and damaged, like a machine would after several series and a movie reboot.
As a kid I recall having a book that my mum got me from M&S. I must have been 7 or 8 at the time I reckon, but it was a big, glossy book with full page illustrations of fictional 'space disasters', with the narrative written in a very factual way giving the history of the ship, the disaster that befell it, casualties, etc. I was transfixed and read it from cover to cover over and over. Can't recall who did the illustrations, but they looked very similar to other stuff I've subsequently seen.

Thunderbird 5 is more of an orbital station, TB3 was the spaceship.
