Post your favorite science-fiction spaceship, not necessarily the best, just your favorite.

...

but that's actually a time ship

Honestly, I just love her dorky nacelles. The unnecessarily long space-porn shots were always my favorite parts of the films.

How do you feel about Trek '09 nacelles?

I like Abram's visual eye, he seems to improve everything.

Not even best ship to be honest.

I will actually not dispute that.
Do any shows ape the "skyscraper on its side" thing that SoaSE does? The capital ships in the Aliens films do a pretty good job, but the ships don't feature prominently.

Firefly went for that sort of look, even going as far as literal skyscrapers in space, but had the same issue with Aliens, i.e. the ships don't feature as prominently. Plus the series got canned

In the movie the evil empire, the Alliance?, had more conventional designs for their space ships.

...

That is true, but the ships wouldn't look out of place in SoaSE.

I know the movie dealt with the origin of the Reavers but I've heard that the origin of the Reavers was supposed to be something different than what we got in the film. Anyone got any sources on these?

Are you the Spacedock youtube channel by any chance? Personally I like the Venator Class Star Destroyer. How do you guys feel about the ships from the early Halo games?

They're loving rip-offs of the Alien designs, so I'm gonna say pretty good.

News to me.


What the Jam Jar? Overrated ship to be honest, especially considering in the Star Wars universe there are dozens if not hundreds of better ships than it. DP20's for example which are literally what happens if you stick big engines onto a turbolaser and missile battery, one of the few ships where the gunners outnumber the entire crew

Not surprising, the characters are even ripped off of Aliens.

Best Star Trek Ship coming through faggots.

>>>/suicide/

...

Bitch, even the bridge is awesome. Its own teleporting pad and astromech in the sub section OF THE FUCKING BRIDGE.

The only thing that weirded me out was the robot. Still not sure how that would work in reality since the look of their equipment seems to be based on real life stuff.

Not science fiction but this is an actual ship that was found on the moon. Inside was a black woman

I love also Atlantis city ship.
SGU premises were so great but there was some poor writings and of course fuck SyFy. Designs were great they have some good ones also in Expanse series. Childhood Ends had some cool ships.

You Niggaz wuz kangs n shit should just go back in the jungle.

That's nothing new. They had that literally on the Oberth Class Refits.
Overall though your shipifu is even worse than a Venator in terms of taste

I didn't say new nigga. The design is probably the best ship in the Fed arsenal. I mean look at the shit you posted lol

goddamn that thing is top kek

I'll have you know that this damned cute little thing will run circles round your ship at Impulse!
Besides, the Oberth is far sexier than the abomination you posted. Along with every other ship from TMP era

You make that little shit as big as an Odessy and clearly it will have the same impulse speed, if not worse.

Why does "Starfleet" always leave a gap between the saucer and engineering sections? It creates an obvious weak point.

Because they are two points that need to be connected.

Block ships are too Expanse.

Yes I remember laughing my ass off at this. SpaceFedora still has it's moments though.

The engines tends to explode, overheat or become lovers to stellar energy beings. It's sensible that most of the crew keeps their distance.

To easily jettison should there be a malfunction.
Remember, despite the near constant fighting, ENT, TOS, TNG and VOY were all peaceful missions that just so happened to get caught up in lots of fights. Obviously, their designs weren't made for battle.

They introduce other battleships that are chunkier, though,

Why would you want to be as fat and ugly as your ship when the little workhorse is great for scouting, science missions, supply runs, and testing every prototype weapon system Starfleet has?


That actually depends on the ship type and usually a feature of larger ships, most of them don't actually. Literally all workhorse designs do not suffer from such a weakness.

Well lets just fucking see…

1. Borg
2. Cardassians
3. Romulans
4. Klingons
5. Dominion

& etc..

Cardassians couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

...

Literally every single thing you mentioned there are better confronted by the Akira, Saber, Steamrunner and Defiant Class ships than having a ugly floppy whale.

Hey guess what, against that little shit you posted, even the Cardassians won't have to worry.

Anyway will shitpost later Holla Forums 3:30am here.

Sovereign is the best Trek design. You can't blow it in half with only a few torpedoes.

Shame user, I was enjoying the keks and fact you were implying every vessel in the Cardassian military was a Gaylord Class Cruiser

Is that movie any good? That ship design baffles me. Seems needlessly complex. Just like that space station in Star Trek Beyond.

Much better looking from the front than the back, which is ok for girls, but not so for ships.

Surprisingly yes. Even the design seemed very reasonable in the movie. If it's still in theaters I'd recommend going.

wow didn't know it was still out. Thanks user.

Best Federation design maybe. Dominion and Klingon designs are far superior though. Much more focused weapon coverage. Really missed the old tech manuals you used to get, Klingon ships were meant to be some of the best engineered in the galaxy and had insane power to size ratio to point that even their attack cruisers could shift and maneuver like a vessel a third their size while having the firepower to clobber a vessel twice their size.
Shame what the writers did to the Negh'var Class in shows, a vessel which was meant to be four times more powerful than a Galaxy Class

ah yes.. the Oberth class. The literal faggot of starships. If your script calls for "gay ship that gets wrecked super easy", time to dust-off this little qt3.14


mfw they fucked with an iconic design to the point of being unrecognizable simply because some faggot thought the Galaxy Class design wouldnt look good on movie screens and widescreen tvs.

no moya

you ppl r dead to me

Isn't that what the Enterprise is for though?

you mean that show where everyone throws up on eachother?

...

Moya really isn't that great. Wish some of the Peacekeeper ships other than Command Carriers got more screentime.

...

dat prowler doe

Ships can incur damage and therefor they should; the alternative is a Mary-Sue-ship like the Millennium Falcon, which cannot be destroyed because that would be too sad for the fans, or worse the TARDIS.

The fans are supposed to get their hearts broken, it's how they grow.

double posting fagot

OP said fav

Yes and?
Moya is not one of my favorites. I prefer the Peacekeeper vessels instead. Or are you assuming that Holla Forums is all one person? Because this thread is all me!

I prefer Farscape One module, it's got wings that fold up so it can fit in the cargo bay of a space shuttle.

It beats everything else cuz compact design.

Battlestar Pegasus, best ship and best admiral


I liked the art direction on that show, way better than Atlantis.

CAIN?

kek
needs more engine pods wrapped around the aft

Aye
Fisk is best drinking buddy


I liked the design, a nice nod to the old show.
If I remember correctly the Pegasus set was recycled from a cancelled Lost in Space tv show, only the pilot was filmed (it might still be on youtube in a shitty quality).

Thank you for saying what needed to be said.

shoulda been that from the start.

the submarine motif was a mistake.

That actor's performance was better than the entire Pegasus miniseries.

Can look weird from some angles.

I really fucking hate star trek, it's literally SJW safe space union, of interplanetary cuckoldry.

The shields are meant to do all the protecting, it wasn't till later with the Defiant and the Sovereign that they started using hull armor.

Loved Battlestar Galactica but the actors were all globalists UN cucks. Sad, still a fan of Number 6 especially in Ascension mini series.

Wrong, it should have been this! It was actually meant to be this by the way.

...

...

Surprisingly not the worst design

video related

that design was there to ensure artificial gravity exists,the whole 'ship' spins except the engine to generate 1g effect

Asgard O'neill class warship had a neat design,
plus its pretty much controllable by 1 person

...

flying cathederals

ASTRO KANGZ

...

Not him, but fuck you for recommending this unironically. Shit is on the level of Jupiter Ascending, with ugly-ass actress and the plot of every romance film but in SPAAAAAAAACE! Also, somehow they managed to botch the aesthetics of a freaking spaceship; the only time it looks good is in a full exterior shot like that one, the interiors are all utter trash. I'd say that one scene where they slingshot across Arcturus sums this entire movie perfectly in how puerile it is.

I don't know nearly enough for my favourite to have meaning. I just think it looks cool.

Too many to pick from, but here's one that keeps popping up in my mind. Yeah, I know it's not Holla Forums, but given the nature of this board, who cares?

...

...

Bernie lost, get over it.

Season 2 is turning out nicely, love the lack of force fields and laser guns.

The mormon ship concept is very cool too, ship itself and the backstory as well.

Why? I know blasters and phasers don't make much sense, but what's wrong with lasers?

We have them now, and in the future it seems like the ideal sort of weaponry you'd need in this series: they travel at the speed of light and are accurate so you could destroy some cucks rail guns from a safe distance or easily blow up any incoming missiles. The only problem with lasers is they'd be invisible so it's anticlimatic

The physical projectiles without shields to stop them make physical armor much more relevant, and as consequence, the ship's designs much more meaningful.

It also makes so that combats have to take place in much closer range, similar to BSG.

They do not travel at speed of light AFAIK…

Ops, missunderstood your post.

And I dunno, physical projectiles are much more energy efficient per damage dealt. Fiction laser guns somehow 'get around that', so…

The only problem is it has a huge swath of sandniggers, kikes, and dune coons. Fucking space ship crew needs to do some basic fucking clean up.

...

I always loved these

Best.

It's not science fiction if the spacecraft's decks are arranged perpendicular to the engines, maneuvering has no effect on the crew and artificial gravity is supplied via magic.

Because 2001 wasn't a sci fi novel/film it was a shitty attempt at a philosophical book/movie.

Couldn't energy shields be used to protect the ship from solar radiation?


Nice. Makes me wonder how everyone here feels about the Covenant ships. I like the curvy organic design of them. Makes them unique. That and they made purple a menacing color.

I like them, and I like the blocky spinal gun bearing human ships. Pretty good for a shooter video gayim.

...

Why waste energy when you can get some material that will just block it at no cost other than its weight and focus the energy use in propulsion?

huh good point.

Because the more weight you add the more it increases the overall mass. Therefore the more energy is needed to move all that mass.

A zero gravity environment (space) does not cancel out the mass an object has.

Hence "other than its weight".

Chemical fuels are much more dense than batteries or other forms of electrical storage, having all your energy as propulsion fuel, instead of bulky batteries to power those shields would make more sense.

Obviously you can always make up some infinite energy core or some shit, but I like the quasi-realistic low-tech vibe of the show.
