Hotblack Desiato's Black Stuntship
What's yours?
BSG
Firefly
fireball XL5
Star Destroyer...nice and roomy, quite well armoured and have a surprising turn of speed.
Still, when they cost more than 3.88 billion Imperial credits, which is the equivalent of several star systems' annual economic output, I might be waiting a while before affording one 🙁
Thargoid
The Heart of Gold
Starbug
I almost said Starbug!
But it's the uselessness and overall black cool that made me choose the stuntship.
I bet that Dreadnaught has a fatal flaw though, like a laundry vent that leads to to the reactor core 😀
tardis ...just think of the bike storage and no one would ever break in.
From films -Darkstar - Filthy messy, doesn't work properly, captain kept in deep freeze. its more real than all this glossy stuff
From books - Helva - the ship who sang
Or perhaps from Banks culture novels - meatfu**er
[i]Notice the 'weeny' little Star Destroyers around it.[/i]
Size isn't everything. Star Destroys have the same optional extras but come with parking assist as standard.
Anything from 2000ad Torquemadas or the Ace trucking lot, brilliant!
johnny, mines real.....isn't it.... 😉
Or Bank's Sleeper service - the most awesome space ship ever
Sleeper service would kick the ass of all those poncy space ships! 20 miles long, 3 wide and 2 thick or something - capable of extreme speed and has a secret army of over 100 000 slave unit warships concealed on board
mars lander Beagle?
TON : in some universe yes it is real
Beagle 2
Star Destroys have the same optional extras but come with parking assist as standard.
Good point, and one well made. The Dreadnought is a bit of a barge. But at 19,000m long (according to geeky Wiki info), you could have a mountain biking trail centre inside one...
On a smaller scale, a TIE Interceptor would be a nippy little bugger. Just right for popping to the shops.
mudshark - MemberUSS Cygnus from Black Hole
Oooh, good call, Mudshark, good call...
Yep, the little dog that didn't bark. It was quite upsetting at the time actually!
Red Dwarf
I'm with the OP. Black switches on a black background that light up with a black lighit is a design classic. I bet if you look really carefully there's even a little black apple logo on the outside.
Nuke em from orbit.....

Slave 1 - bobba fetts ship
I always liked the one they crashed in the Planet of The Apes, don't know if it had a name but it is realy cool,
PJ
my favourite is the ROU killing time ,or may be the problem child!!!!.
X-Bomber? woohhoo Star fleet!
Fireball XL-5 and Zero X
First spam bot on STW?
It has to b one of the Thunderbirds and probably two is the coolest

Silver dolphin from 'le vagabond des limbes', or the blackship of the meta baron.
Coke in a spliff
I always like the concept of Larry Niven's [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Products_(Larry_Niven)#General_Products_Hull ]General Products Hull[/url] as sold by the Puppeteers- nothing too sexy but very practical just about believable.
I like these too, though not really a spaceship.
I'd like to have been offered a ride in Barbarella's spaceship. Can't find too many pics that won't result in a banning so not going to post one.
As a Banks fan I'd say just about any of his ships names, but I do Like "No More Mr Nice Guy" and "Just a Little bit Bent".
the nostromo, but without the extra passenger 😯
Rama
Can we stretch the definition of "space ship" to include these:

Oh that's a Viper from Dave Brabben's Elite!
That is cool esp. the orig wire frame one.
