Pillar Of Autumn has had a few honorable mentions, but it really did,nt feature so much other than the begining of Halo, of course it did have probebly the best AI ever who sported a nice bod. maybe EDI could get an upgrade and get some nice curves.

Here are my most iconic and favorite, in no particular order

The White Star - Babylon 5
USS Reliant - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Millennium Falcon - Star Wars
Imperial Star Destroyer - Star Wars
X-Wing fighter - Star Wars
Earth Alliance Star Fury fighter - Babylon 5
USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-A - Star Trek original caste movies
Romulan Warbird - Star Trek
Klingon D7-class battlecruiser - Star Trek
Minbari War Cruiser - Babylon 5

SSV Normandy, SR-2 - Mass Effect.  The SR-2 is truly an awesome weapon of war.  It's a whole case of whupass condensed down into one can.  Dynamite in a small package.  It's sleek, it's fast, and deadly as all hell.  Truly one of the most impressive warships of sci fi ever dreamed up.

Serenity - Firefly
SD Lucifer - Descent: Freespace
GTD Orion-class destroyer - Descent: Freespace and Freespace 2

HIMP Dahak, an Utu-class planetoid - Mutineer's Moon by David Weber (this ship is what the Death Star wants to be when it grows up)

The Hyperion - Jim Raynor's flagship in Starcraft and Starcraft 2
Megarea, experimental imperial warship - Path of the Fury, by David Weber.

USS Missouri, an Iowa-class battleship, hull number BB-63. This is a real warship that you can see on display in Hawaii, but featured prominently in a couple of sci fi novels, so it exists in the world of sci fi. John Ringo's Posleen series comes to mind.

Protoss Carrier - Starcraft and Starcraft 2

I'll add other as I think of them.

In no particular order...
U.S.S. Thunderchild
Galactica
    ( Both the original and new versions - not sure which one I like more than the other. )
Normandy SR1    ( The repositionable engines make it look way more bad ass than the SR2. )
Millenium Falcon
Klingon Bird of Prey
Earth Directorate Starfighter
GunStar
T.A.R.D.I.S.   
( But not the new one as it just looks like a cider brewery has exploded. )
VF-2SS Valkyrie II
Moya
Star Fury
The Liberator


-EDIT-

Just had to add another 2...

OK, so that's 12 not 10.  Image IPB



Oh Bollocks...
I need to add another one to my list...

The Eagle from Space 1999

That makes mine a list of 13 now.  ( And as many people think that's an unlucky number i'll add another and make it 14. )

The Fiery Phoenix

1. Millenium Falcon ( Coolest piece of junk ever. :D)
2. Battlestar Galactica (Just a menacing meanlooking hulk of metal)
3. Klingon Bird of Prey (I never was a trekkie, but the Klingons know about cool ship-designs.)
4. Imperial class Star-destroyer (oh yes, any true nerd know there are several classes of star-destroyers. ;) )
5. Discovery (2001)
6. Gothic class Battleship "Intolerance" (From Spacehulk. No idea what it looks like but with a name like that... :P)
7. Tardis (Dr. Who. Maybe not a "spaceship" but who cares? )
8. Normandy (I prefer the original)
9. Terran Battlecruiser (Starcraft)
10. Nostromo (Alien: The Eight Passenger)



Interesting, alot of people prefer the original Normandy, I thought SR2 would be a landslide vote winner


I prefer the SR2 myself.  It's nothing but death and destruction from its high powered engines to needle prow.

#10 Eagle Transporter: kinda bridges cool in space to what might actually exist in the near future. That concept has changed as tech and audience savvy has changed (the spaceship in Avatar is just the latest example of this concept).

#9 Tardis: VERY distinctive, but gets knocked for lack of broad awareness and lack of effect on later works.

#8 TIE Fighter: From their high pitched scream, to their inscrutable faceless pilots, to their distinctive H outline. Badguys being bad...in space.

#7 Klingon Bird of Prey: Let's make a vaguely animal shape into a badguy's war wagon. Bonus points for menacing predatory features that make no real sense other than looking cool. Obviously other Trek is excluded, but concept is  featured in Babylon 5, many video games.

#6 Star Destroyer: Menacing force projection of the Evil Empire. Pointy front, Big flared butt with big glowy engines. An aircraft carrier (and battleship, Star Wars visually being based on WWII war movies after all). BSG basically repurposes the concept, and softens the lines for the good guys. Often misused to make potatoes in space.

#5 Millenium Falcon: A flying saucer with a WWII bomber cockpit welded off center, topped off by "machine gun" turrets. It's so retro (for the teens and young adults of the late 70's) it hurts. Now it's just iconic.

#4 X-wing: Made spacecraft looking and often moving through space like aircraft work. Distinctive profile/motion.

#3 Enterprise (TOS): Intentionally designed to be easily identifiable from any other ship even as fuzzy pixels in a distant shot. Even for non-sci-fi fans they can recognize the big E. Heck Star Trek (and most Star Fleet ships) in general can be identified by the saucer, nacelles, engineering section config of the Enterprise. Certain brand of humans and aliens have come along for decades in this combo of #1 and #2.

#2 Flying Saucer the Day the Earth Stood Still: plenty of options following but the earliest one I can think of. Every Alien for decades basically came along in a variation.

#1
Flash Gordon: Certainly earlier versions, but perhaps the most well known of the classic basic wobbly rocket ship. Bonus points for often bringing a Superman to Earth or delivering packages in the 31st century. Basically every Earthman for decades came along in a variation.

Ha ha, a Farscape reference!  +1



I weep for a time when there were still shows on TV that actually made a
noticeable attempt to be original....even if it required hallucinogens to do
it.
