Only because I am a huge Red Dwarf fan and only because your articles rock, you said Spacebug twice instead of Starbug. I am disappoint. That ship has been through some shit, yet it couldn’t even defend itself. How they lasted so many episodes on it while “looking for Red Dwarf” was beyond me lol

Starship UK from ‘The Beast Below’ – it’s built on a Star Whale for heavens sakes… (Doctor Who S05 Ep 02)

No love for the Hitchhiker’s Heart of Gold? That ship has the best propulsion system ever!

@Trashcanman,
You have become my proverbial anchor. Where once, we stood on opposite sides of the fence, we now share one side. I, for one, am quite grateful for that side. You never fail to make me laugh, and at the same time, point out how much I suck, which, oddly enough, I have actually started to learn from.
In most cases, you are pretty spot on, TBH.
I actually didn’t want to bring up the craft we saw (kind of clear to see I added that at the end of the article), but brought it up to subconsciously prove to myself my girlfriend doesn’t read my articles, or else she would have said something. Next week’s article. All The Celebrities I Intend To Have Sex With Behind My Girlfriend’s Back. I have a feeling it wont be well received, but it will be undoubtedly cathartic for me.

Good to see Starbug and Red Dwarf getting some love here.

I do think Moya from Farscape should have made the list too though.

Yamato wasn’t based on the battleship of the same name; it was the exact same battleship dug up and refurbished for space travel to inspire the people of Earth with an “invincible” ship that was originally sunk the first time it left port…. I’d have gone with the Titanic. How could you leave out the flying saucer from Plan 9? You suuuuuuuck. Also, fellow commenters, let us now mock this Remy Carreiro character’s close encounter of the troll kind where he claims to have seen an alien craft irl and then acts like he doesn’t want to talk about it as if he didn’t just bring it up himself completely unprompted. I keed, I keed. Sammy Hagar has stories about aliens too and if it’s cool with him, it’s cool with me.

You’re just gonna leave us hanging with no details on a story about seeing a UFO? Tsk tsk.

Anyway, I’d go with Alex’s ship from Last Starfighter and the Thunder Road from Explorers. The latter is just awesome in its homemade clunkiness.

@Dan, good call!
@ Kevin, Serenity is mentioned, read harder!
@Caleb, I am one of the six people who liked Prometheus (gasp) so I agree with you on that point.
@ Gary, looked like an aircraft carrier to me, sorry. Mine eyeballs are sometimes off in their assessments.

Space Cruiser Yamato..the ship is based on the Battleship Yamato it is not a Aircraft Carrier.
