great thread, ncc...I love ALL the TIE designs: especially the TIE interceptor, and the "Darth Vader" Version of it, as well as the TIE bombers... the STar Trek I/II NCC1701 is awesome, IMHO... Loved the Cylon starfighters in BG...dunno why... I loved the B-Wing fighters and the Buck Rogers starfighters, the "Executor", and the X-Wing fighters.. never was a big Millenium falcon fan...too clunky and not streamlined...plus...asymmetrical, lol.. I'll post more when I think of 'em... man...great trip through memory lane! So many of the ones you guys mentioned I raved about and just loved when I was a kid...wow...great stuff!

@ruet Pretty good, but... Who says alien is "evil" ? Do you propose to understand what is alien? And, who's to say the "Alien" tries to take off?

Honestly it's worth the money just to see that bad ass trailer in epic 3-D I'm going again to check it out ASAP.

Super star destroyer (star wars) Pillar of autumn (halo) Prometheus (prometheus)

@intothehive... Oh hellz yeah... We need to show some B5 luv. Hahaha. The younger punks have probably never even seen that show?? After the more realistic Earth Force Cruisers, I also liked ALL of the Alien race vessels which of course could be as wild as they wanted, because the Aliens could have any freaky tech. imaginable.. Anyway there is one other favourite.. the NARN G'Quan Heavy Cruiser... [img]http://images.wikia.com/babylon5/images/5/53/Narn_Cruiser.jpg[/img]

The Enterprise Prometheus 1989 Batwing The Bird of prey 2012 Batwing The Apollo Capsule and Lunar Lander

@RickK I agree, there's so much speculation we'll all probably be wrong.

lol.... Did you see the movie One Eyed Monster staring Ron Jeremy ;)

@shawn what did you call it mate, I think I missed it? I see it now, my mistake....

ok, so my theory involves Ron Jeremy, Han Solo and a face hugger. shall I continue?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I mentioned the "gunstar". I just didnt call it that! Now please, give me my "props in Oaktown".

Poor Alex Rogan and Grig, I cant beleive no body has mentioned the Gunstar... [img]http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~centauri/gunstar.jpg[/img]

The ship that Blakes 7 "found" after the Liberator was destroyed was called Scorpio. @canadaphil totally agree about B5- way ahead of it's time- you have to look past the wooden acting (esp season 1) and slightly dogdy effects but the story over 5 seasons is outstanding..... Whitestar (B5) Millennium Falcon Minbari Cruiser (B5) Liberator (Blakes 7) Sulaco B Wing (ROTJ) Shadow vessel (B5) Tie Fighter Star Fury (B5) Super Star destoyer Executer (ESB)

also, i like the look of the new enterprise, yeah the movie was kind of bad, but it was better then the TNG movies and the look is still great i think :D

nothing can beat serenity :D [img]http://www.infinitydish.com/tvblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/serenity1.jpg[/img]

@artyoh I agree with Hawking on that matter. In fact I had that mindset long before he made that statement public. The fuzzy cuddly concept of friendly aliens that Spielberg would have us believe is a steaming load. It goes against nature. And opposite history. If extraterrestrials exist and can travel great distances to other worlds, it would be best to keep a low profile. Sadly we have been ringing the dinner bell since the 70s.

In no particular order. Eagle Transport (Space:1999) Millennium Falcon (Star Wars) Nostromo (Alien) Tantive IV (Star Wars) Battlestar Galactica (BSG New Series) Sulaco (Aliens) The TARDIS (Dr Who Original Series) The Liberator (Blakes 7) Earthship ARK (The Starlost) in principle. Updated technology would make it cool. Leonov (2010)

Dave Lister was expected to adhere to Space Corps Directive 957. The Nostromo, although also a mining ship, has no such Space Corps directives. Fuckin Space Unions, go figure!

i wish my wife would say that last part more often

IF MY WIFE WOULD DO THIS , She would be a complete package

i dont know a lot about space ships so i only have a couple faves. the enterprise of course (TNG), the defiant from deep space 9... numerous random star trek alien ships (like the klingon bird of prey meantioned before) does a Gundam count as a space ship? lol if so i have some faves there. i like numerous other anime ships i wont even get into that. but gotta say [u]my fave is always going to be borg cubes and spheres.[/u] resistance is futile!! you will be assimilated!

thanks!!

Good stuff snapper , FEW MINUTES ,,,,,,,,,,, i got all night

In Prometheus they need to fight off the creatures (dare we call them Aliens). The Prometheus crew can’t do it alone with flamethrowers. So David experiments on himself to save the earth and crew by cloning himself in into a partial man/woman biohuman. David then decides to give birth to a new Weyland Jr. But something goes wrong in his man/woman biohuman uterus and it actually gives birth to a woman.. A RIPLEY.. an elder Ripley at that.. the perfect ANTI “Perfect Organism” destroyer…

it was stolen off Silent running and you got ,,,MAY I BE OF ASSISTANCE, i forgot about that , that guy looked like my uncle back in the day

@shawn He's not using it for personal gain. (.i.e. he's not making any money off it and he's not mass producing.)

Hahahaha!.. The STAR LOST... that was really similar to the ships in Silent Running sort of. PS: How did that line go?? " MAY I BE OF ASSISTANCE? "" :)

oh cool! not trying to hate on ya, just wondering. some of these studios will hunt the average joe down and go shit crazy with lawsuits. since its not a prob, you taking orders??? Can I get a black w/red cap for opening night???

star bug was always a fav but also the ship from flight of the navigator or yes the liberator from blake seven what was the name of the ship that took over after the liberator was eaten away ?

Aliens was a great action movie. One of the best action movies of our time. But it pales in comparison to the Original ALIEN. The concepts presented in the first film are completely dumbed down in the second. (i.e. the alien becomes a race of large bugs.) Again, don't get me wrong, ALIENS is a hell of a fun movie that I will always love. But its no ALIEN. Hey , you can do ALOT worse than Cameron directing a Prometheus sequel, but I would prefer Scott direct it. Hell, I prefer Fincher direct it! The reason ALIEN3 turned out less-than-perfect was because of the studios' interference. (Combine that with Fincher's first theatrical outing and that just makes a horrible combo.) Despite all the production/post-production problems, the end result was pretty good in my opinion, which speaks volumes for a first time director.

^^^^^ Sorry the resizing makes the name on the side fo the cruiser unreadable, but its... ACHERON

My favourite sci-fi TV series was Babylon 5 and for me, this show to this day still had the most realistic depiction of what OUR vessels would actually look like if we ever really went out there.. ie: Big ungainly things that required rotating sections in order to create fake gravity. Here is one of the cruisers... Pay attention to its name.. may be a little chuckle for this board if you know what I mean... [img]http://archive.firstones.com/tp2b/babylon_project/2262_arrival.jpg[/img] Also, the Babylon 5 STAR FURY is probably the most realistic earth space "fighter" craft ever envisioned. Even NASA asked the shows creators for detailed models and renderings of it cuz it really flipped them out!!! But after these, I agree that the utilitarian EAGLES from Space 1999 were very good... again because they depicted a very realistic concept that we could probably achieve.

a graphic novel of PROMETHEUS would be awesome, personally, i'm more inclined to the classic comic look although i think a mash-up of traditional hand drawn art, mixed in the the precision of vector art would be great i'm hoping it will look like this, but fresh [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0LGgXkczwYg/TesQa7LJaYI/AAAAAAAADiw/88AYE5pexoY/s1600/ALIEN_GN.jpg[/img] time will tell...
