I always liked the Nostromo’s design.
The Millennium Falcon ofc.
Followed closely by The Razor Crest.
When it comes to fiction, I’m quite fond of the Gunstar in The Last Starfighter both in appearance and in its surprisingly practical pilot/gunner and mobility systems.
Plus it does that really cool spinny thing and blows away a hundred hostile ships who can’t hit back for some reason.
Deathblossom is like the spaceship shooter version of
Imperial star destroyer
The USS Defiant. Coolest ship in Starfleet.
Lakon Spaceways Diamondback Explorer. Hands down. Like a little cicada with huge fucking engines hanging out of it. Cozy way to map the galaxy.
Asp Explorer took me far, far along the Perseus arm of the galaxy. All my paint was worn off when I finally got back to civilization!
I never liked the shape of the Asp, but that cockpit was so much nicer for exploring.
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
I really like the Nostromo from Alien (1979). The Icarus II from Sunshine (2007) is pretty cool, too.
Yay! The Nostromo finally gets a mention. The attention to detail in the ship is amazing and a whole new set of warning symbols were designed for it.
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
Rebel Blockade Runner, mostly because it’s the first ship you really see in A New Hope and my first interaction with the Star Wars franchise as a kid in the early 90s.
That’s how I think of it too, but apparently it’s a CR-90 Corellian Corvette. I imagine that info was created later and didn’t exist for the first movie.
Oh there you go. It was definitely called a Blockade Runner in the micro-machines set from the 90s!
Yup! Here it is:

I had a lot of these sets, and I think this one in particular.
Makes most sense that blockade runner is a description of the role it’s being used for, same way you can describe any car as a taxi if that’s how you’re using it.
What? No love for the Millennium Falcon?
No need for shields when you have plot armor
It probably has both.
I like my light freighters unmodified.
While not exactly a space ship, I’d say Thunderbird 2
I don’t have any spaceships. Thanks for reminding me. 😩
We have a number of shuttles

The USS Crawlspace!
The Rocinante is an obvious pick.
I also really like the ships in Starfield, mainly because I’m a cassette futurism shill.
