You want me to name my favorite five science-fiction spaceships, but they cannot be from Star Trek, Star Wars, or Babylon 5? That's gonna be tough, but I'll give it a whirl.
I like the Andromeda Ascendant from Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. I think it's an interesting and very organic design. So curvy, so complex, and that AI is really sexy.
The Battlestar Galactica is a pretty interesting ship. Reminds me of an aircraft carrier cruising through the stars. It also tends to remind me of a Danube runabout.
The combat fighter from the movie The Last Starfighter. It's a powerful little ship that's is definitely derived from classic video games.
The NSEA Galaxy Quest from the movie Galaxy Quest. I really like the streamlined look of the ship. I especially like the engine design. It seems to be a radical off-shoot of the ST:TNG era warp nacelles. Very cool, in my opinion.
Then there's the ship from the movie Explorers. Not the alien vessel, the ship the kids made out of garbage and stuff in the garage. My friends and I saw this movie when we were youngsters. How much we wished that we, too, could build our own little ship.
-------------------- The philosopher's stone. Those who possess it are no longer bound by the laws of equivalent exchange in alchemy. They gain without sacrifice and create without equal exchange. We searched for it, and we found it.
- Andromeda - Roger Young from Starship Troopers - Nebacanezar (sp?) from the Matrix - Ravage's Stealth ship from Beast Wars Transformers. - Tracks from the classic Transformers (the blue Corvette Stingray with wings)

#5 Son'a battleships. (Star Trek) #4 Shadow battle crab. (Babylon 5) #3 Excaliber. (Babylon 5) #2 Akira-class Starship. (Star Trek) . . . . . #1 The U.S.S. Saratoga (Space: Above and Beyond) By it's self, it can kick major ass but when it scambles it's fighters, you are in trouble. It can probably take out out of those junky Star Destroyers.
In all honesty. The Akira-class starship really doesn't make 2nd place with me. It's just there because I couldn't think of a ship worthy of 2nd place.

SA-43 Hammerhead from S:AaB (most flexible, well steered fighter I've seen, with fore and aft automatic laser turrets, yum)
His Divine Shadow's Flagship in "I worship His Shadow" of LEXX. (cool main gun which fires Shadow disruptor energy web stuff)
VF-1S Valkyrie (Fokker's Skull Squadron) from Macross/RoboTech
SuperDimensional Fortress "SDF-1" from Macross/RoboTech (I have a thing for blue/white color schemes too)
PatLabor Police Vehicle Type ZERO (with extendable arms and knife-sharp fingers for piercing blows and the updated, automated steering system, for increased manouverability and reaction time)
Consolation prize: Colonial Marines APC from Aliens...

I never thought of this! We can choose ships from sci-fi games can't we? hehe. Here's my revised list then!
#5 that large Human science ship (Sphere) #4 TAC fighter. (A sci-fi story I'm working on) #3 Cyrollian warship (The Journeyman Project 3) #2 Quo'Thalas warship (The Journeyman Project 3) . . . . . #1 The U.S.S. Saratoga (Space: Above and Beyond) By it's self, it can kick major ass but when it scambles it's fighters, you are in trouble. It can probably take out out of those junky Star Destroyers.
P.S. I just remembered that I'm not supposed to have a ship from Star Trek, Star Wars, or B5 in the list. My top 5 favorite non-Star Trek, non-star wars, non-B5 ships I made the revisions.
