[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Too many really cool ones to pick a favorite. But tops on my list include: - The SDF-1 [URL=http://www.gearsonline.net/designers/sdf1.jpg]Macross[/URL] from the anime of the same name. 1,200 meters long, contains a whole city full of people, and it justifyably transforms into a giant freaking ROBOT. 'Nuff said. - The [URL=http://www.cylon.org/images/classic/2010web07a.jpg]Alexei Leonov[/URL] from 2010. One of the best "real SF" designs from the past few decades, right down to the rotating section, aerobraking, and massive nuclear engine. This was unceremoniously ripped off by Babylon 5, whose Omega-class destroyers get a lot of false credit for "new and different design". Schmendricks. - Excelsior. See above. - My favorite Star Wars ship, after the B-Wing, is the trusty [URL=http://www.starwars.pl/galeria/classic/vehicl/large/006.jpg]Nebulon-B Frigate[/URL] from the last two movies. It's graceful yet functional, and its very shape really emphasizes how stuff can AND can't look cool without the limitations of gravity. - I'm a huge fan of the [URL=http://misterhook.tripod.com/roughnecks/caps93.htm]Valley Forge[/URL] and her sister ships from the Starship Troopers Chronicles animated show for the same reason. These puppies have a LOT of power behind 'em, and it shows. They had a whole episode devoted to just how cool this ship is. The [URL=http://www.keele.ac.uk/socs/ks02/next/roughnecks/rough3.jpg]dropship[/URL] from the same show is also wicked fictitious. - The [URL=http://www.smallartworks.ca/Gallery/Sulaco/SulaComp.jpg]Sulaco[/URL]. Same thing. Its [URL=http://aliens.humlak.cz/aliens/Aliens_papirove_modely/papercraft/movie/dropship11.jpg]dropship[/URL], too. -And finally, I really, really like the original primary configuration of the [URL=http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/space/photos/images/images/iss7x.jpg]International Space Station[/URL] before all the cutbacks. Screw politics, this thing is a marvel of engineering, it looks awesome, and it's REAL. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
