Glad you're enjoying Babylon 5, Satan.

>cant wait for the new Battlestar series

Let's not get our hopes up shall we.

Satan's got good taste

i hated this movie,why the fuck two thirds of it was about an obelisk and a bedroom

BSG needed more Pegasus.

For me, it's the Agatha King

Posting real Star Trek is practically cheating. The most aesthetic sci-fi of all time.

For me, it's got to be the White Star.

is literally makes no sense for space ships to be aerodynamic.

please no

Imagine if they are not so big, it would make sense that they ability to fly both in space and in atmosphere

Because you didn't understand it

Excelsior mk2 is a high tier ship
For me, it was the Nebula

The Liberator.

That's amazingly ugly. You could tell me either direction was the front and I'd believe you.

The pointy bits are at the front. Is an AI designed warship, its supposed to be functionally ugly.

It was replaced by the Scorpio in later series which is a sort Millenium Falcon freighter with a big engine type deal.

HAMMERHEADS!

Evangelion Unit 2. I mean, Thunderbird 3.

Fun fact: originally the Discovery was supposed to have giant radiators
However Kubrick got tired of people asking him why a space ship had wings
Also at first it was going to use nuclear pulse propulsion (orion drive) but because Strangelove was his prior film it would have muddied the thematics to much

this is so beautifully functional

I, too, want to listen to the Ramones on Mars

Explain why a space ship would need more than 1 main engine

??? literally made canon by rebels

love this one

Avatar had a lot of problems but for the most part, its worldbuilding with its plausible hard sci-fi universe wasn't one of them.

Pic related is another hard sci-fi ship that I really like.

TARS you ignorant slut.

This except for me it's the YF-19

But they also ruined the lore.

did the real orion drive have any chance of being functional because frankly on paper the idea sounds ridiculous, but however more retarded things have functioned perfectly fine before

unbelievably based

Backup in case one breaks down

these are used fairly often on the surface of planets with atmospheres comparable to earth (presumably)... why would they make a large sphere the primary aerodynamic feature of these when its about one of the least aerodynamic shapes possible? why not have a teardrop shaped central feature? its really no wonder why they get dumpstered by x-wings, they would have fuck all relative kinetic recovery potential and E-M theory would put x-wings on top in like every situation. I get the design concept was that it looks like a tiny death star but man, whoever designed them is dumb

>the pilot literally has to stand in that little rectangle
You're literally sticking the most important part of the ship out in the open.

I thought deflector shields would be used to create an aerodynamic shell around the craft, that and from my memory of those old star wars fighter games from the 90s, they would usually be used in space

Hard to say because not even a prototype has ever been built. The effect works. Weather the materials used to build the ship would hold up to the radiation and inherently jerky movements we probably don't know and and the amount of fuel (bombs) needed to accelerate and later stop the vessel seems highly impractical in every circumstance

Soon
