Out of game I developed a liking for the space-ships drawn by Chris Foss, who did a lot of cover art for the science fiction books I liked as a kid.

I think this baby would be the one from in-game. Nice lines, compact, loved the previous versions but this has to be the best.

Ingame. ASP

Sci-fi tough call....
Other games ship fave would be Valhalla from X3

Tv/movie would either be scimatar from nemesis or outlaw star from the cartoon.(spaceships that fight with grappling arms are cool as hell)

First one for desire, second one for nostalgia

Edit: I was gonna put in the Xenon I but really its a flying rectangle, the reason I love it is because of the extreme lengths I had to go to get one.

In game: Hauler. Say what you will about her fat a..., erm, behind. But it's got style and character!

Sci-Fi: Terribly many to pick from. One-man-one-ship size: Starfury

Alternatively maybe Viper Mk II:

Capital size: Omega class destroyer. This one really looks like it means business, and is a pure space-ship, not an "I-wanted-to-be-an-airplane-but-they-turned-me-into-a-spaceship-ship."

I guess I just like utilitarian designs mostly. It feels just right when you think "yes, that one just might be possible to build, actually."

In-game the choice is hard, there are many great like the imperial clipper, Asp or Viper.

But the Executor definitely wins in my book. Gigantic, elegant and deadly.

In-game... have yet to fly it, but on looks alone, the Imperial Clipper. Of the ones I have flown, I'm rather partial to the Cobra for functionality.

Out-of-game... the carriers from Thorarinn Gunnarsson's Starwolves series of novels (circa 1988, fluffy sci-fi, not particularly great storytelling, but interesting universe). No picture of them exists; rough description... 3km long, roughly arrowhead-shaped; two sets of 4 drives, one set pointed backwards and one pointed forwards for braking. Heavily armoured and armed, main cannon could destroy a world, carries 400-some fighters. Extremely maneuverable, could stop on a dime, though this involves accelerations that only its alien crew could handle (but not humans). Built to last, most of the ships are thousands of years old, though their number are few (only 22 exist). But most importantly (and amusingly), a sentient AI running the ship, which tends to be on the eccentric side.

(Anybody else read this series before? It seems to be rather obscure... I picked it up in the library way back when on a whim...)

I named my Asp the Valcyr, after the one carrier that due to a runaway experimental jump drive, made an accidental exploration of another galaxy and had to limp home (having lost her crew :( ), and then parked herself inside a glacier on an abandoned Earth and brooded for the next few ten thousand years, not knowing what happened to everyone...
