Ya Ya, probly been done a million times already but I'm curious to know what everyones favorite star wars spaceship is. This forums been pretty slow lately so I want to put a new topic in.
Most likely i'll already know all about whatever anyone comes up with. My favorite is the Maurader Class Corvette.

As long as people don't go out of their way to post obscure non-film ships just to be "cool" and "different" and "stupid".
If it makes you feel better though - Star Destroyer.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

So we have a "Favourite Star Trek ship" thread, and a "Favourite Star Wars ship" thread. Then, all you need to do is post a thread asking who would win in a battle between the most-popular ship from each thread, and your journey to the dark side is complete.

NOt to be obscure or difficult or anything, but I always thought the Outrider from "Shadows of the Empire" was pretty cool. Nice Falcon tie-in without being boring about it.
There are alot of neat TIE variations in the comics and games too.

What the hell is a Marauder class corvette? I need a pic.
But my favorite is the Y-wing.

Just search a pic from google. It looks like a giant starfighter. And I posted this thread to see how many people would post "obscure" non-film ships. I mean c'mon everybody loves the star destroyer. But there's so much out there in the EU that can appeal to someone.

I dig the Z-95 headhunter, though it suffers the same problems.
I dig Slave One. Roomy, lots of weapons and such without beng too big.
The very worst SW ship is the A-Wing- the full size prop was so small that the actor plating it's pilot could not even bend his knees- he's crammed in there like it's a bobsled.

I like the A-Wing, but mainly in the context of knowing what it's suppossed to be... a supper fast stripped down interceptor. Likewise the B-Wing by itself looks odd, but gains some appeal when you understand the design ideas behind it.
The Z-95 Headhunter though? That's just...meh.
And the problem with going for non-film ships is that almost all of them are based around the film designs. I like the TIE-Advanced/Avenger and the Victory-class Star Destroyer, but they're just variations on an existing design.

Ever see the Skipray Blastboat from Heir To the Empire and WEG's RPG?
Strange design- cool and nothing like the established stuff in looks -though the rear section rotates kinda like a B-Wing (it's made by the same company so it sorta makes sense).

The B-Wing was made by Slayn adn Karpil a Verpine Company. The Skipray was made by Seinar fleet systems, they company that produced the TIE series. The TIE Defender was cool. Faster than the A-Wing, More Powerful than the B-Wing, had sheilds and hyperdrive. But it was like the Ferrari Enzo of the Empire. The Hapan Star Home was probably the most unusual ship in Star Wars. It was a spacegoing castle made out of Basalt.
