Well, despite my inclusion of the White Star, these are supposed to be individual ships, so I wouldn’t have used a whole class like that. The individual Bird of Prey with which I’m most familiar is the one they renamed HMS Bounty in Star Trek IV — despite the fabulous whale tank, not a ship amazingly productive of affection!

You missed one!

Hi!

This is my first time reading your blog and so far I’ve liked what I’ve seen. :)

But I must add one more ship to your list, which I consider my favourite ship above all else (even though I do like the STNG-ships in general a lot). It is the mighty klingon Bird of Prey, of course, packed with hot klingons. Meow!

Good egg.

I considered the Heart of Gold, but I didn’t find a genuine glow in my heart for it. As to the TARDIS, I have never seen a single episode of Doctor Who, so I’ve no idea as to the internal appointments of the TARDIS and no particular feelings directed toward it.

Just a few missing options

However you feel about HGTTG, Heart of Gold is a truly awesome vessel. What other ship will turn you into furniture and bring you penguins?

More importantly, I’m not sure how you can define ship in a way that doesn’t require the TARDIS to be front and center on that list. It has a library in a swimming pool! Episodes set entirely inside it while it was traveling through space! Also, it rocks; especially with its new steampunky makeover.

Those tachyon pulses do such delicious things with time.
Unrelated, but one of my grandmother sent me two tiny pewter elephants for Christmas. I immediately named them Darmok and Jalad.

Oh god, that lightship was gorgeous. If I had one I would name it the Sense of Wonder ;p

If I were going to include fighters, I’d have put X-Wings. But I don’t have an individual one in mind there, and really they don’t feel like ships. More like airplanes, whereas the Falcon, for all its bomber features, crossed into shipness.

Borg cube = evil. Over on Facebook one of my friends suggested the Pequod, but these are ships I have warm, fuzzy feelings about. I was tempted to put the Sulaco, but again, my feelings are not so fuzzy!

Thankee, Jan.

Nice Ships

2010-12-26T20:29:38+00:00

This is a fine collection of ships… I’m going to add more:

The Bajoran “lightship” from DS9’s “Explorers” episode.
The Battlestar Galactica. It was awesome in it’s original and awesomer in the remake… I’m going too add Vipers and Cylon Raiders (new ones).

I’m also going to mention a few others: The USS Defiant, The Borg Cube, totally agree on the Normandy, love Serenity – major character in the show.

Finally, The NEW enterprise is THE ship I most want to command. I’d love to get my hands on those ample nacells. Sexy sexy sexy.

love your launch

You have a fine selection of ships.
