Directors Sci Fi fans...If you could own and fly your own spaceship(s), what would they be? (1 Viewer)

If we were able to buy a few spaceships to fly around out galaxy and a few of the movie and tv classics are up for sale, what would be your choices?

It's hard to pick one but my choices would be the Melinnium Falcon, Enterprise D, Moya, and The Whitestar.

Easily a Shadow Vessel, from Babylon 5.

millenium falcon.

there's not even a close second.

I would want to fly at Ludicrous speed.

The Pan Am Space Clipper from 2001: A Space Odyssey - the best-looking spaceship ever in the movies...

Millienium Falcon of course. I see I'm in good company.

What other would be a good one though?

Hmmmm.

The Enterprise E is pretty sweet. Not so much a flying living room like the D, but certainly a performance machine when you want room for hundreds.

can i get a star destroyer? no...i mean the really really big one?

B-wing from ROTJ

the Falcon is way too high maintenence. That thing is always breaking down, and I woudnt know how to fix it. It would be in the shop every other weekend. A giant money pit

I would take somthing more lush, probably one of the smaller star trek vessels assuming I had a crew to man her. Maybe Voyager.

Pearl Forrester's customized VW Microbus.

AKA "The Widowmaker"

"The Navigator" from Flight of the Navigator (or whatever it was called...although I could do without Max).


The Gunstar & Centauri's car from The Last Starfighter.

i hear you on the maintenance, for sure.

but, c'mon - cn you imagine the sheer ecstacy joy of flying that thing? for my money, the best spaceflight sequences ever filmed - the ones that best convey the visceral ecstacy of flying - are ones involving the falcon. and the industrial asymmetry of the design....just beautiful.

there may be ships more powerful, faster, and more sleek. but there's not one that's anywhere nearly as cool.

so say i, anyway.

V'Ger. First off, unlike many other large vessels V'Ger is entirely self sufficient and sentient. Thus it can run and maintain itself - no need for the hassles of a huge crew. Certainly it's powerful enough to protect me from any harm, and the vast store of knowledge would make it the perfect galactic tour guide. I'd assume it would also have the perfect holodeck and even repairing the human body and bioenhancement shouldn't be difficult for that vessel. And is it fast or what? Consider that it covered whole galaxies in that short period of time.

But the real reason is the anatomically correct "companion" bots on demand. What other vessel can boast that?

Just stay away from those small one man fighters, I wouldn't want something bad to happen to you Ricardo.

Enterprise D is awfully tempting... though the crew quarters seem rather small -- would I get a suite? Also are we to include the dangers of Borg attacking as Lynda-Marie mentioned (are we to be in the universe of the show?). I'd definately like the Next Generation universe...assuming we could socialize with the crew. But I think I'd ask that the ship only go on relatively safe scientific expeditions... no more intentionally flying into harm's way. Maybe I'd be better off on the USS Pasteur.

But a close second would be... Firefly. Nice, homey ship, and a universe with plenty of colonies that look about as easy to acclimatize to as Australia would be to an American. And the lingo is shiny.

Moya seems like an easy ship to fly around, what with it being alive and taking care of itself pretty much, but the gold wallpaper interior design would drive me crazy after awhile. Still...nice people on board. Though they seem to be in peril quite often. And I might have a problem with Pilot being gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But his voice makes me laugh. Stand by for Starburst... and this is a special Starburst so [deleted before it was even posted]

Ricardo, one small piece of maitenance advice for the Death Star...patch up that freakin hole! Put a sheet of plywood over it or something. It'll be like driving around in a Pinto the size of a small moon if you don't. I also heard that it doesn't corner worth a damn.

For me it would be The Millenium Falcon. I'm not worried about maintenance, i'll just get it fixed up on the new reality show Pimp my Falcon.

Or

Spaceball 1, afterall, I break for nobody.

Since it is has not been spoken for - I will take the one and only original Enterprise. No freaking A or B or C or D or Triple DDD or whatever!

For runs to the corner store I would use a X-Wing.
