The Rocinante
One of my favourite things on the Roci are the point defense cannon (PDC).
In space they make a little brrrrrt noise
In atmosphere they sound like artillery. BOOM BOOM BOOM. And they act like artillery too, all you can do is try to cover your ears.
Just fun to think how powerful those “little” PDCs need to be.
+1 for the Roci
Finished the series this week and am already suffering from withdrawal.
Yeaah, I really need to get to them! Especially since the last 3 didn’t make it to the TV series, from what I’ve read.
Romulan Warbird or the Saturn 5 rocket.
The Heart of Gold, from The Hitchhikers Guide. Plot armour taken to its most literal extreme.
The Apollo Lunar Lander. The only real space ship we ever built. (I guess we built another one for the next trip now, though, so I’ll go with “ever flown”)
People can say it’s ugly all they want, but, as an engineer, it’s exquisitely designed for its purpose. That’s true beauty to me.
Lexx is one of my favourite ships. It was such an oddball show as well.
Given how raunchy and insane that show is, the ship being an enormous dick and balls is so fitting. And I know it’s supposed to look like a dragonfly.
