Has anyone that has posted more than 2 "spaceships" in this thread ever gone to sleep without a dry penis?

*raises hand*

i don't have a penis. although that technicality aside, i have two kids. means i have had sex at least twice. how about you stop being a judgmental jerk-hole? liking sci-fi enough to know what ships you like is no big deal. :rolleyes:

If you're asking people to list their 10 favorite sci-fi space ships, you're really just challenging them to list 10 that they can remember.

I really don't care to rank them, so I ordered them alphabetically...

Battlestar (BSG)
Corona (Katsuhiro Otomo: Memories)
USSC Discovery 1 (XD-1) (2001: A Space Odyssey)
Enterprise NCC-1701-A (Star Trek)
Enterprise NCC-1701-D (Star Trek)
Event Horizon (from the film of the same title)
Lewis and Clark (Event Horizon)
Millenium Falcon (Star Wars)
Narada (Star Trek)
Nebuchadnezzar (The Matrix) - not really a spaceship
Nostromo (Alien)
Prometheus (from the film of the same title)
USS Reliant (Star Trek)
Slave I (Star Wars)
USS Voyager NCC-74656 (Star Trek)

[edit]
Added USS Reliant because I thought of it several times while writing that list and still left it out somehow.

Dahak (Empire from the Ashes)
Meatf*cker (The Culture, basically a ship with a somewhat psychopathic AI who likes to dish out vigilante justice)

USS Defiant
Serenity

Yamato
Millennium Falcon

I think The Lexx is pretty cool; I like that it looks like a creature.

I've always had a soft spot for the Planet Express ship:

And of course my all time favourite is the USS Discovery One:

TIE Defender. Yes it's a fighter but it's just so badass. Who needs a giant planet destroying laser when you have a fleet of these bad boys. Cheaper too.
