What are your favorite spaceships from science fiction shows, movies, games, comics, anime or anything?

The Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop is probably my top favorite. I like the idea of small compact ships meant for a single person and going fast.

For that same reason I love the Razorback from The Expanse. Except the engine to ship ratio in this universe probably makes more sense realistically. The cockpit 360 swivel system is also really clever.

The Outlaw Star from… Outlaw Star is not a small ship. I just like it because it looks cool despite its goofy unrealistic grapple arms that hold weapons.

That book is by Steward Cowley,1978 Was lucky to find a copy in great condition a while back. It was one of my favourite books when I was a kid.
