[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] Galaxy > Excelsior. I'm just sayin'. Also, definitely the tall mothership from Homeworld. I'd thought for a long time before seeing it that a vertical ship made a lot of sense (the thinking being that big wide ships resulted in a lot of corridor-space), and to see that huge vertical slash in space (as if to say "We're here!") just has such a different effect than even SW's Executor. I mean, you know the Executor is big, but there's something psychologically distinct about something being just utterly honkin' tall, at least when viewed on a 2-D screen. When the time comes for hindsight, despite all the real and perceived problems, I think the shuttle will be viewed as a most impressive vessel. Soon everyone will pretty much be employing capsules, which have their merits to be sure . . . but they are so incredibly utilitarian. The shuttle was designed for utility, too . . . but there's just something about the tapered tips of a soaring spaceplane and the awe of its dive back into the mist that evokes far more romance than the ballistic, mechanical boredom of a capsule dropping to earth like a space turd into the toilet.
