I am mildly obsessed with the Saturn V. It’s just such a feat of engineering and human cooperation.
The Rocinante is an obvious pick.
I also really like the ships in Starfield, mainly because I’m a cassette futurism shill.
dune’s guild heighliner. there are many depictions of it, but the general idea is awesome (an enormous tube)
The Lynch one is great. The huge baroque hangar doors clearly inspired 40k’s cathedral in space aesthetic
yeah the lynch one is great. im definitely partial to the new dune’s depiction however, it’s much larger and the smoothness is so imposing. it resembles the sandworms a lot more, which i think is an interesting detail.
The lexx of course it’s the most powerful ship in both universes.

I was a Krait Phantom guy. Loved the shit out of it.
I had a friend who had a Krait. Crewing up with myself in a deployed fighter and another friend of ours on the guns back in the Krait was lots of fun.
I love my Krait! I had a bigger ship for a while but something about the medium-class just feels right in E:D. I did a lot of low-temperature diamond mining back in the day, but I loved how I could load out for bounty hunting or cargo runs or whatever else I felt like doing.
o7 Commander. Totally forgot about this hame, it was a joy to pilot the ships. I enjoyed the Diamondback Scout the most I think.
I never got the hang of bigger ships. I think the biggest one I had was a Type-7. I think I had a Federal Dropship at one point but I didn’t get any use out of it.
Dropship was my biggest. I was aiming for Python I think but fell of then. I also enjoyed the smaller, more nimble ones. I think most of my time was spent in a Vulture.
I was gonna say MY Fer-de-lance. That thing is so fun to fly around and wreck shit in.
I wanted a Fer-de-Lance but was never in a system that had one while I had the credits to buy one
Get the permit for Shinrarta Dezhra and go to Jameson Memorial. Every ship, weapon, and module all in one convenient location.
They’re cool. I put a PAC on the big mount which probably wasn’t optimal for that ship but being able to oneshot the smaller ships with it (assuming I could actually hit them) was really fun.
Imperial Cutter or the Majestic class Interdictor. Love Gutamaya designs!
Vulture or Type-10 for me. Especially at T-10 with moar spoiler.
Moya, from Farscape
Moya’s starburst has always been one of my absolute favourite VFX scenes.
It’s just such a visually great kind of hyperdrive!
Definitely the Soyuz, it’s hard to beat the safest and most reliable spacecraft
If we’re talking fictional I’d say Serenity, I love what’s essentially a tramp steamer in space with little nooks and crannies for less than legitimate cargo

I’ve always had a strange affinity for Dark Star.
