Your favorite in game and sci-fi ship?

At the moment my favorite SF ship is the Nautilus from 200,000 leagues under the sea. Here is my take on it.

Nice.
What's with the tampon on the front though?
In game, if I have to say one it's be the Imperial Clipper
Out of game, I'm a fan of the classics.
and if you don't know what that ship is I will deathblossom you back to the frontier with Xur and the rest of the Ko-Dan Armada.
I found the Movie last Year in DVD Quality i would love that Ship

Ingame, the Annie. It just 'feels' right. Out of game, Fireball XL5. It just has everything you need in a space ship.
In-game, probably the Asp.
In science fiction novels, the "Nostalgia for Infinity" in Alastair Reynold's Revelation Space trilogy.
In movies... well, forget all this recent stuff. Let an old guy show you what we were imagining back in 1956, with the United Planets Cruiser C-57D from "Forbidden Planet"... now that's a spaceship:
Captained by Leslie Nielsen no less.

From Battle of the Planets, the Phoenix !
The game that got me into space simulators. That is X3 Terran Conflict/X3 Albion Prelude. A pretty fun game but the AI is... as smart as a blind gerbil. The Auto pilot is known to crash into... everything. It needs to be modded properly to work great. Still a fun game... despite using an engine that is nearly 10 years old. If you work correctly you can make an empire that earns you thousands of credits a minute. I ran out of room to park my capital ships, so I bought more stations to use as garages... then quit because I could not spend fast enough.
And though comes from a crap movie, I've always loved this little lady...
USS Cygnus
Did you just diss The Black Hole?
Geek card! Hand it in! NOW!
I loved the last starfighter. For those who don't know, a must view (and historically, it is the first movie featuring computer generated ships and animations. They used a Cray One if I'm not wrong in 1984)
Nice.

ist From the TV Series UFO ( you seem young ;-) )
In game, i'm saving up for the Orca. Just love the design. A total Pimpmobile.
From Sci-Fi... thought long and hard about this, and glad to see a few people already posted close contenders that i might have chosen, so in the end decided on this....
The Bliztspear from Nemesis the Warlock. After all, who doesn't want a demon possessed spaceship?
Along a similar line, but no official artwork for them i believe, a Voidhawk or Blackhawk or just perhaps a Hellhawk LD from Peter F. Hamilton's Night's Dawn Trilogy.

Its one and only Missile, Damn I wish I still had all those Dinky Toys
it was a Cray X-MP (1982) the Cray 1 was from 1976
I would also like something like this 
I don't know how many people remember the excellent Terran Trade Authority collection from the late 70's. They were full of amazing ship designs from some of the best illustrators of the day. Illustrators, pre-cgi.
Welp, someone went and converted many of my favorite ships from that series into CGI animated versions. And it's awesome.

That ship (Blitzspear) comes with the best tune:In game, i'm saving up for the Orca. Just love the design. A total Pimpmobile.
