Probably my all time favorite...War of the Worlds...



It just looks like a friggin' preying mantis...and it obviously influenced the look of the TNG Romulan ships...

[Hector]

I like all the before-mentioned too...love both the original Enterprise and the X-Wing Fighter as well.

[Hector]

Never liked the Tie-Fighter that much though...looks so aerodynamically challenged...even for the vacuum of space...



No wonder they couldn't defend the Death Star from the X-Wing Fighter's attack...

[Cmonster]

1) Spinner
2) TIE fighter (even though it's the worst design ever, because the pilot cannot see to his right or left)
3) Sulaco
4) Hawk's ship
5) Cylon Raider
6) CE3K mothership
7) Big smiley ship from "Heavy Metal"
8) Star Destroyer
9) Leonov
10) Vger

Jeff Russell's STARSHIP DIMENSIONS

Try 10X, 1X, -2X & -10X-drag different ships and things together and compare their size. I disagree with some of the scales but still it's fun!

[johnmiic]

2) TIE fighter (even though it's the worst design ever, because the pilot cannot see to his right or left)SC

I think they fixed the problem by Return of the Jedi:

[jds1911a1]

While I think USS SULACO from Aliens is cool and the Drop ship is neat it's the APC that steals the show of the marine vehicles...and none of them are as cool looking as the alien ship itself

10 Battlestar Galatica (original series)
9 Space Cruiser Andromeda (starblazers season 2)
8 USS Reliant (ST2) best things about the enterprise in fighting trim
7 Cylon Raider
6 Space Battleship Yamato
