The Rocinante
One of my favourite things on the Roci are the point defense cannon (PDC).
In space they make a little brrrrrt noise
In atmosphere they sound like artillery. BOOM BOOM BOOM. And they act like artillery too, all you can do is try to cover your ears.
Just fun to think how powerful those “little” PDCs need to be.
Definitely the Rocinante!
Should have known I’d already find the Roci here.
+1 for the Roci
Finished the series this week and am already suffering from withdrawal.
Read the books! There’s tons more. Unless that’s what you mean.
Ah that book ending though. chef’s kiss
It was pure perfection. Like if you’ve only seen the tv show, the book ending isn’t something you need to read, it’s something you deserve to read.
Yeaah, I really need to get to them! Especially since the last 3 didn’t make it to the TV series, from what I’ve read.
I assure you you won’t regret it.
Oh that’s a good ship.
I was going to say the Trimaxion Drone Ship from Flight of the Navigator. Seems lame now. lol.
This ship inspired me to ask this question :)
Love seeing Roci up top!
ahem
Definitely not the Chetzemoka lol
Although as much as I love the Roci, I might have to go with the Donnager as my real favorite. It’s just so damned intimidating.
I’m a huge Expanse fan, but come on. Compared to the Enterprise, the Roci shouldn’t even be hauling garbage, it should be taken away as garbage!
Romulan Warbird or the Saturn 5 rocket.
Nice choices.
The Apollo Lunar Lander. The only real space ship we ever built. (I guess we built another one for the next trip now, though, so I’ll go with “ever flown”)
People can say it’s ugly all they want, but, as an engineer, it’s exquisitely designed for its purpose. That’s true beauty to me.
The Heart of Gold, from The Hitchhikers Guide. Plot armour taken to its most literal extreme.

OP ass bullshit spaceship! It is pretty cool though.

Does the TARDIS count as a starship? That’s kinda cheating though.
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. It’s a good answer, though!
Feels like a tomato fruit situation. It’s technically a ship, but we know it as a station?
A marine equivalent might be a floating structure with its own propulsion system. Technically a boat, but it doesn’t move around that often and it let’s other boats dock/undock from it.
The ISS’s propulsion is just for small orbital adjustments, right?
I think so, not sure if it can do much more.
It has boosters. If it can move, it is a spaaaceshiiip!
True but it still has to be a ship!

The Red Dwarf :)
The Red Dwarf? Mate, you must be outta your smeggin’ mind!
On my Facebook feed there was a Transformer toy in the shape of Starbug called Smegatron.
Enterprise refit. Loved the original Enterprise and the Enterprise D when TNG came out, but there was something magical about seeing the refit on the big screen.
This, so majestic
Battleship Yamoto.
I’m torn between the Defiant and Serenity
Serenity as a reaver ship is hard to beat
Moya, from Farscape
I take one standard Culture GSV and Mind please.
The USS Defiant. Coolest ship in Starfleet.
