I realize I should have crossposted this to SF Discussion… oops. Hey, Bill, any chance we can do that cross post? |

The excellent computer games Descent: Freespace 1&2 have a bunch of lovely designs.
My personal favorites (visually) are the Myrmidon, Medusa, and Perseus.

Swordfish II – Spike Spiegel's fighter in Cowboy Bebop. No, I'm not even remotely an anime guy, but it was a cool ship and a great series. |

T-Rex in a UFO
link… i.e., homemade. The classic BSG Viper holds a lot of nostalgia for me, but after 4 decades, I'm still not sure if Starbuck is the blonde or the brunette… |

The Battle Riders from CJ Cherryh's Cyteen universe. They actually make physics sense instead of being airplanes in space. |

For some reason, I've always preferred space battles as Hornblower in Space rather than Biggles in space, despite preferring the Biggles books over the Hornblower ones as a kid. But let's nominate the Wraith from StarCraft. |
| skedaddle | 26 Aug 2024 5:08 a.m. PST |
The alien fighter from Independence Day looked pretty cool to me. |
| etotheipi | 26 Aug 2024 11:09 a.m. PST |
The classic Retro UFO
Also … Crashed Starfighter on a Desolate Planet. Not a specific model, but definitely the start of lots of good wargames. |

Awful lot of crew for a starfighter… |

Sure they're not scavengers? |

I was always a big fan of the GLADIUS interceptor fighter from the old FASA game Renegade Legion: Interceptor link |
| Parzival | 26 Aug 2024 2:48 p.m. PST |
" Sure they're not scavengers?" They don't seem to be looking around at the craft, as exiting it.  |

Leving with their booty … I didn't say they were squatters! ;) |

Ah, wreckers… lure ‘em in with pictures of Earth women, then the gravitational anomaly kicks in, and Bob-would-be-your-uncle-if-roboskeletoid-aliens-had-uncles.  |

They dream of very weird alien toast, like in the "toaster" in the pic. … what were we supposed to be talking about and how did it go off the rails ..? |

I love the look of the 1980s Buck Rogers fighters. (I also liked the look of the Colonel who led them, but that's another Poll.) |
| TheBeast | 09 Sep 2024 12:10 p.m. PST |
"Message from Space" had "Comet Fire" and "Galaxy Runner." However, I always thought the "Liabe" looked an awesome figher-bomber, ignoring the other two carried in its "wings." Maybe "Spartinians" and "Walkure" from "Legends of Galactic Heroes?" 1) I likes me some anime, but hardly extensively knowledgeable. 2) I am a bit of a curmudgeon in seeing WWII based space fighters as a bit blindered… *shrug* Don't get me started on veritech!
