If you were given command of a starship...which ship would you choose?

I'm not talking about single seat space fighters...I'm referring to spacecraft that can hold multiple occupants.

I chose the U.S.S. Enterprise first and foremost because of it's powerful defensive and offensive weaponry and its relative comfort.

-----------------------------------------------------

For my second choice, I'll take Lone Star's Winnebago from Spaceballs.   :smile:
(as long as there's a can of liquid Schwartz in the glove box!)

How about you?
Which spaceship would you want to command?

(You are allowed to pick two ships...be sure to mention your second choice)

Well...I sure would'nt want the one from 2001:Space Odessy- HAL is a real S.O.B.
And I would'nt want the one from LOST in SPACE...whatta bucket of bolts!
I would want the one from MARS ATTACKS because...well.it just looks real cool,and it can bottle up Atomic weapons to be smoked! :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: And it's stocked with girly magazines,and that thing where I can switch peoples heads with dogs and stuff! And the laser weapons make a cool noise too.  :cheers:

 I chose the Enterprise and, Lord help me, the Event Horizon.

Liberate mei ex inferis  :buggedout: :hot:

I'll take Red Dwarf.

Although the Enterprise is a beautiful ship, I would have to go with the USS Defiant from DS9. It's small and way overpowered, but it's got those cool pulse phaseers and lots of quantum torpedoes.  It's a little on the ugly side, but it's got a cloaking device.

Dang, lots of good choices. but I'll go with the White Star simply because I really like Babylon 5.  The Lexx is a close second, especially if Zev/Xev is on board as a crew member.

Went with Nell from BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS.

Two more to add are the SDF from the Macross series and also the Argo from "Star Blazers."

Based on what is available, I'd go with LEXX, though keeping it fed (fueled) might worry me.

"We're almost out of gas."
"I see a city with lots of people.  Let's set down there."

I picked the Defiant,  I have always loved it.  Stripped down, fast. and near indestructable.  The rest of the Federations ships are sort of pale and flabby by comparison.  I also love the Romulan Warbird. 
The Imperial Star Destroyer has a huge amount of bloat.  Too much crew!
Um, I didn't see the Millenium Falcon on there.  Did I miss something?

It's the second one on the list.  :tongueout:  :smile:

I have to go with the Defiant from DS9 as well. It's small, fast, powerful and stealthy.

Second choice would be the Excalibur from the B5 spin-off Crusade. Gotta love those wave motion...er...main guns and the energy absorbing/reflecting hull.

have to be the Enterprise, if only for the Holodeck.

Well I said the Tiger Claw's, but I am referring to the Wing Commander 1 Tiger's Claw not the movie version.   Other choices I would have picked if they were are:

SDF Macross
White Base from Mobile Suit Gundam
Dogosse Gier Zeta Gundam
TCS Victory Wing Commander 3

I picked:

1.) Red Dwarf. No pesky crewmates to worry about, and I've always gotten on well with cats. I'd have to work on the ship's computer, though, and try to get a holograph a bit more attractive than Rimmer.

2.) Heart of Gold. I never really liked petunias all that much, and whales are just so naive...  :teddyr: Eh, really, I'd probably get along quite well with Marvin, and who wouldn't want to go wherever it is least probable that they would be able to find on a map? I don't think that last phrase makes very good sense, but 42.

Without giving it too much thought, I went with the U.S.S. Voyager as it is the only ship of all those mentioned that I feel at home in, "Voyager" having been the only "Star Trek" series I watched regularly (though I have seen most episodes if not all of each series).  Voyager, like all the Federation ships, takes a licking and keeps on ticking...I hope the crew comes with it, I even like the annoying ones, but who didn't love 7 of 9?   :smile:

My second choice was an Imperial Star Destroyer because it's big, it's bad, and won't the neighbors be impressed?   :lookingup:

See, I think that dealing with the computer would drive me nuts.  Eddy or Eddie, right?  Yeah, I'd go after his logic circuits with a bucket of water.  Salt water.

White Star and Klingon Bird of Prey here.
But then I have always forgone comfort for the seat-of-the-pants damn the torpedoes approach anyway.

My first choice would be Heart of Gold, it's got lots of room, a computer with a sense of humor, a robot who suffers from depression, sighing doors, and a device in the galley that instantly prepares what ever food or drink you're craving, what's not to like.
On the other hand, if I thought there was a chance of going into battle I'd want the USS Defiant, small, fast, maneuverable, overpowered, overgunned, and you just have to love a warship that has a throttle setting of "RAMMING SPEED".

Out of the ones you names I picked Serenity. I just love the idea of having a small ship that I can travel around in. I would spend the rest of my life wandering from place to place.

My second choice would be Truth and Reconciliation from Halo 2. I always thought that Covenent tech was so much fun plus having the ability to launch hundreds of Banshees at people I don't like.  :bouncegiggle:

I'll go ahead and bump a slightly out dated thread.

I DO like the White Star.  There's something about that ship that just kicks @$$.  The sleek design just makes it orgasmic.  That's my second choice.

For my first choice, I picked the Argo, from the cartoon Star Blazers.
Theres something about a 20th century naval battle ship outfitted for space with a whole butt load of weapons at it's disposal.  But when things got too hairy or there was a planet that needed moving, they just fired up the ol' Wave Motion gun and let fly.
Problem solved.
Gotta love it.

Give me a ship with some speed and maneuverability.  The Millennium Falcon will be the ship for me, as long as I got a Wookie to back me up.  For the "hit & run", it's the Defiant (I picked the wrong one.  Reliant, Defiant, check on for brain cramp) just for its cloaking action.  Also for a back up when my Falcon is in the shop  :teddyr:.
