Space Vessels I'd like to fly or visit

I was drifting a bit today (inside my head), and started thinking about what I'd think would be awesome to see in a universe such as Elite: Dangerous if ever there would be a courtesy representation of classic fiction ships from other franchises. I know it will not happen, but sometimes I like to think the "what if"s.

A few surfaced right away as my favorites, and are mentioned below. I would love to see you build on it.
What ships and/or space stations would you love to fly or visit if you could?

First of all, and this should not come as a surprise, I would love to fly my own Millennium Falcon. Call me a dunce, I don't care!

And while we are on the genre of smuggler cargo ships, I would have to add the beloved Firefly! Oh yea :)

I have always loved the Battlestar Galactica franchise, so the Viper - the BG Viper - is an obvious choice

And because I am a real Sci-Fi Geek I am not ashamed to admit I love the White Star from Babylon 5; I mean come on; shouldn't we have figured out the whole organic biometal thing by now?

And while we are on B5, the Babylon 5 space station itself is practically in the same design family as the Space Stations in the game already

These were the ones on top of my head.
Got anything to add? Comments or thoughts?

There is a small problem with copyrights, especially with franchises. They cost big coin and/or the owners won't share.
I also believe that FD want to keep it free from outside Lore influences as they are generating their own with the books and stories.
I'd love to see all those things and more but I don't think it will happen.
Perhaps they could give us an area where we could have all the fictional stuff in one place, like an amusement park.
I'd love to see Larry Niven's Known Space in a little area myself.
 
The Cobra has always felt like the Falcon to me, think that's why I love the ship so much. Pure geekness, in the Cobra I have to say 'Punch it' to Voice attack, a Wookie sound plays and the FSD charges :)

From movies it has to be the USCSS Prometheus - It's the reason I am obsessed with my Lakon Type-9 in Virtual reality, it feels just like the bridge of that ship.

If I had the Prometheus I would never need to own another ship. Roll on single player so the modders can make these ships a reality

Am forcing myself to avoid looking at anything to do with Star Citizen. I accidently clicked on a video for the Genesis Starline and had to hide my credit card :/
