Not sure in what context you’re asking this question, but my answer is the International Space Station. I love how it’s possible to see it at random sometimes at night, and the way it crosses the sky just looks different compared to a regular airplane flying at night.
Pedantic question! Does the ISS count as a spaceship? I feel like something that travels in an orbit is kind of the equivalent of something stationary on a planet… so it feels like more of a, uh, station, than a ship to me.
“I’ll take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance, and then I will launch TAC missiles at the Event Horizon until I’m satisfied she’s vaporized. Fuck this ship!”
The Kestrel Cruiser from FTL. Even though it’s not even the coolest ship in the game, The Kestrel is still the most nostalgic for me.
It brings me back to when I first played FTL a decade ago. I was a kid back then and loved the game so much, I even built and painted a cardboard Kestrel model.
When it comes to FTL, The Lanius Cruiser is my favorite. Kestrel was fun to play too, I remember going back to it several times, after unlocking new ships.
There’s a lot of ships I like in sci-fi, but the one that comes to mind at the moment is the garfish-class cruiser in robotech
Or if we’re talking about real spacecraft here, I like the soyuz (and really the whole r-7 derived rocket family to be honest), as I like the look of it’s side boosters and the four engine bells on each engine
The Hail Mary currently. Just such a cool ship from a fun book. To think about what would go into building it and what that means to humanity is humbling.
Other notables:
Enterprise E from First Contact because it looks cool.
Cygnus from The Black Hole
Sulaco from Aliens
Trimaxion Drone Ship from Flight of the Navigator
The Abominator-class Offensive Unit Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints (my usual favourite lol)
