I've always liked the beautiful ugliness of the Somtaaw command ship.

Why the #4? Admittedly it was only vulnerable to large amounts of antimatter but so were the #1-3

It can.  This is the Vic Viper from Zone of the Enders 2.  I'll grab a link here...

Edit: Mik, you're half wrong here.  The traditional Vic Viper does not transform.  However, for this game, the producers (working at Konami of course) decided to bring Vic Viper into play.  Not *the* Vic Viper, but rather a ship that was similar to the Vic Viper, and fit the story-line well enough.  It's really pretty damn cool.  It has the twin lasers, ripple laser, missiles, options, and the two-orb shield.  ^^;;;;

Because the #1 and the #4 are the only perfectly spherical ones. And the #1 isn't an option because it's only the size of a basketball.

At the mo, probably the Prometheus from SG-1.  Largely because I don;t watch much sci-fi (actually, that's the only one i watch :) ), and a;lso cos it has the chunky industrial aesthetic I like. :)

Also the carrier type ship from Aliens (Sulaco, I think) - though I don;t fully remember that one.

I've got a serious weakness for the dropship from Aliens. I'm also fast developing a thing for S:AAB's UEF destroyers.

The Sulaco is awesome. Somebody needs to mod that thing (me, if I can figure out GMax :D). Also, the GTD Orion - it just looks 'ard as nails. Ooh, and the tall thin mothership from homeworld (don't know the name, just looks cool). I don't watch sci-fi, mainly 'cos it's nearly all badly-acted crap, so I can't really comment on anything from the genre. Other cool stuff is the big-ass starship from Unreal 2 (the one that hits the star at the end), the Space Marine Battle Barge from BFGothic, and the Venom gunship from the PS1 game G-Police.

The YF-19 from Macross Pluss.

BTW all Veritech would be a joy to fly (if you managed to learn all the 52 different control devices :D )

I actually had models (plastic kits) of the APC, Dropship and Suloco.
the Dropship in particular turned out quite nicely.

YF21 v YF19 , could never decide which one was better....:rolleyes:
