As a variation on a theme of favourite aircraft I thought that favourite spaceships would be entertaining.
Number 5 Romulan Wardbird - Star Trek
Always thought that these looked graceful with a sinister threatening look to them - kind of sums up the Romulans.
Number 4 White Star - Babylon 5
One very beautiful looking spaceship, has an air of elegance that none of the other craft in the series possessed (except maybe for the Vorlon’s) - and they sure did for the evil Shadow ships.
Number 3 Tardis - Doctor Who
The very first spaceship that I ever saw, unprepossessing to look at from the outside but it’s ability to travel through time and space coupled with the size of the inside make it a winner. Oh and the latest incarnations of the series have proved to be very entertaining.
Number 2 Serenity - Firefly
A very practical looking cargo ship with inter system capability coupled with in atmosphere operation, extremely durable yet also having a certain elegance to it. Kept flying by an extremely competent female engineer.
Number 1 Moya - Farscape
A living ship (and a mother) this one was always going to get first place as it comes from my favourite sci-fi series, not only cool looking in normal flight but awesome in starburst mode. More than just a ship she enjoys travelling in deep space for the pleasure of it and provides a home for her rag tag collection of passengers.
Honourable mentions to Dark Star, Valley Forge (Silent Running), Lexx and Talyn, Moya’s son.

Sci-Fi leaves me cold I'm afraid, perhaps that's why I like Spaceballs and Red Dwarf!
I would have included the Andromeda Ascendent
Noddy, Damn I had intended to put Red Dwarf in the honourable mentions - only a mining ship would have been built to last millions of years.
PD, Oops completely forgot about AA, if I had remembered she would have been number 5. Clean graceful lines and the cutest computer that I have ever seen.
See that was too cool for me to take part.
RED DWARF!!!! I loved watching that show. After that went off, I'd watch Eastenders. (Yeah, you're laughing aren't you?) HA!
I'm going to have to link this. Lots of sci-fi fans visit my site.
The Tardis is a model of economy - carrying all that shit around in such a compact space is an engineering marvel. That's my principle on handbags, too.
Phlegmmy, only you could manage to get handbags into a post on spaceships!
