Powerful weapons, cloaking abilities, and incredible speeds are just some of the many things some of the starships on our list can do. These starships are icons in the sci-fi community and are loved by many fans. Check out the coolest starships in sci-fi (and our photo credits and sources) and let us know in the comments below if you agree with our list (and if you don’t, which starship would you include):

You’ve probably heard of the starship Serenity, piloted by Malcolm Reynolds. This starship is iconic for its lack of weapons (which you would expect on a starship). On the opposite side of the spectrum is the Klingon starship Bird of Prey which is armed with powerful photon torpedoes and also boasts of a cloaking device. These are just two of the coolest starships found on this list! Check out these 25 coolest starships in sci-fi.

No love for Captain Sisko’s baby? The USS Defiant. NX-74205
RanmaChan99 I was thinking the same thing. Only ship in starfleet with a cloaking divice.
It kinda becomes Worf's little baby doesn't it?
Riker: "Tough little ship!"
Worf: "...'Little'?"
The USS VOYAGER would out run out gun and out manuver that ship any day and took on the borgt many times more times that the ENTERPRISE-D did
Ed Brown The Voyager is an exploration vessel. But The Defiant is a war ship. If you like eather ship great. But I wouldn't say Voyager could outclass the Defiant in combat.
Tom told Harry that the ship was built for battle not muic performance
Those Mimbari cruisers from Babylon 5 were pretty epic.
It was an very original design, and great from a story standpoint, because they could be both menacing and reassuring, depending on which side you're on. Design wise, they are basically angelfish.
Turkeys!
You missed two major franchises: Farscape (the Leviathan) and Babylon 5 (a whole host to pick from including the Ancients' ships).
The white star and the shadow ships are both awesome.
Aurora class and City Ship Atlantis from Stargate Atlantis are my favourites.
Same! ❤️
I thought that there would of been something from stargate at least, I felt like this list was very Star wars Heavy. I mean Even the puddle Jumper Is super cool, what other space ship do you know of that is designed specifically for jumping through a metal ring that creates a worm hole
@@CollectorCraving The Dart from the Wraith can although do it.
@@derantiker8411 oh yeah thats right i forgot about... im really hoping we get some new stargate.
Ulla 2 or paximus 3 are pretty cool, mostly paximus 3
Nothing from Babylon 5? Are you kidding me? The White Star, the Vorlon and Shadow ships, ships of the First Ones, Starfuries, Minbari Heavy Cruisers, Centauri ships?
ladycplum
I have too agree, I'd put Whitestar 1 above the Falcon. However I think the ballots for lost in Hyperspace :(
Well fan boy decided to flood it with starwars. Vorlon planet killer is an awesome boat.
The Shadow ships were also extremely cool, sliding in and out of hyperspace in ways no other ships could, being nearly impossible to fight, and having weapons that the Earth Alliance could not even comprehend, never mind counter.
victory class destroyer orf even a warlock definately fit the bill of "cool"
ladycplum I agree. Almost every ship in B5 are brilliant and several of them should have been in this top25.
The white star from White Star rangers fleet of ships Babylon 5 !!!
The most "bad ass" starship I have ever seen.
I think the Space Battleship Yamato (aka The Argo) should have been included. With its Wave Motion Gun, which vaporized , in one shot mind you, not only an entire fleet of enemy ships but also a floating continent in the clouds of Jupiter, it is one of the most powerful weapons known to man.
Exactly !
Id put the stf-1 bearly above it, I mean when guns dont work just punch it 😉
Have you heard of the death star?
And perhaps Captain Harlock's Arcadia as well.
@@Wyatt125 Death Star would do Nothing Agianst the Powerful Wave Motion Engine of the Yamato.
What does 'coolest' mean? Way I see it: author created a list of known star ships and picked 25 randomly. This is only way I can explain this top. )))))
25 most "NERD CULTURE!!@!!" relevant Star ships!!!!!!!
Yep
seems he means shape, not function or roles. some can't even GET to another star !
1. The Winnebago
2. The Maid ship
Both from Spaceballs
LOL!
If we are going there, the United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol Cruiser from Quark
Space ship from Xenon was cool the lights one from the 2nd movie
Am I the only one that thinks that the Millennium Falcon is overrated? It's a modded freighter. That's all. This list didn't include any Babylon 5 ships, Red Dwarf, Farscape, the Cobra mk III from Elite, Event Horizon, The Liberator, The Lexx, Starship Titanic, Heart of Gold, The Prometheus, the Eagles from Space1999. Only ONE federation star ship, yet TWO from Mass Effect.
What about one of the coolest ships ever? Gunstar 1 from The Last Starfighter?
Exactly. It's a modded freighter. And look what it can do without being built for that. All the other ships were built to be what they are. Han put money and effort into it to make the Falcon the amazing "hunk of junk" she is.
Don't get me wrong I really do like the Falcon, and I respect it's importance, but I don't think it's the greatest ship.
Neil degrasse tyson was quoted saying the millennium falcon would be destroyed instantly by the enterprise......do the list over without the star wars bias....please? Plus you forgot the Raza from dark matter!!!😁👍
The Enterprise could not catch it to destroy it. Hyperspace system is weird that way. The Falcon could not hurt the Enterprise unless very lucky. Not enough concussion missiles. The Quad Lasers (Plasma shielded/particle cannons) would be too underpowered for such a job of going against even a Runabout. Brute force does not always win. Sometimes conserving power and having a good hit does much better.
don't forget EVE online ships too
I'm sorry, but it seems abundantly, VIOLENTLY clear that you (whoever did the research) had not seen much sci-fi beyond Star Wars and Star Trek.
Seriously. What a woefully inadequate list.
To bad Anime isnt included Macross City ships are cool
I don't think fighters and capital ships should be in the same list.
Also im shocked the USS ODYSSEY didn't make the list.
The "Destiny" from Stargate Universe.
Amazing how it just has to dive into a star to recharge
Hydrogen scoop! Look it up. You could power a ship indefinitely!
oh, yea and powered by suns on a long space voyage very cool.
I agree. The Destiny was a really cool ship. I wish SGU would have been picked up for a few more seasons.
@@datorxodar4595 mgm filed bankruptcy that's the only reason it got canceled. There is hope though there have been talks of stargate coming back
The Eagle from Space 1999
Of course
Their number 26 missed it by that much
Scariest....THE EVENT HORIZON.....mic drop
Ok, watch out now, I'm going to name a few obscure ones. Here we go:
V Motherships from the original 80's tv miniseries.
Final Fantasy's Ragnarok ship
Buck Rogers' Starfighter, The Searcher, and Hawk's ship
Battle Beyond the Stars' Gelt's ship, and Nell (aka The Hammer Head)
Starblazer's Argo
Robotech's SDF-1 Macross
The Sol Bianca from the original animated movie Sol Bianca.
The Liberator from Blake's 7.
liberator ? Hell yeah !
Not having a single B5 ship in the list is a huge oversight. The shadow vessels are by far one of the most frightening scifi ships. Black, spider creature look. they just appear, cold no mercy bio ships... If those thing show up in any of the franchises they would be feared.... Plus many of the other ships in that series showed a great deal of imagination. It was a long running series, well received and one of the first TV shows to use CGI extensively.
You are so right about the Shadows they look like trouble as soon as they show up.
And where are the white stars?
No B5 they had awesome Starships - White Star and Starfury
The Semetar from Star Trek Nemesis didn't make the list? How? How about Vger from Star Trek the motion picture? Truly awesome. One ship that would make a star destroyer run and hide, and make the death star think twice.
The lack of Farscape's Moya absolutely legitimizes this list!
Then there's the Gunstar from The Last Starfighter
I would put that as number one fighter just because it is multi role, next would be the Veritech fighters so on so forth more specified roles.
Holy shit I loved that film!
The Shadows from Babylon 5, ultimate starship
Absuolutely right
@@bioscalar White Star is awesome too...
You had half a dozen Star Wars ships, but no Moya? No Lexx? No Yamato or Daedalus? So apparently a huge qualification for being a "cool starship" is "have the biggest fanbase". Gotcha.
Enterprise - D and USS Defiant from Star trek needed to be in this list. Also the Millennium Falcon is not very cool ship. Sure it's fast, but it's ugly and half the time is doesn't run properly.
I know this is late but yeah pretty much none of the star wars ships are actually interesting and cool
luke himself says it's trash
What about The Andromeda from Andromeda. She was a Warship that could take on hundreds of ships by her self. She have a Computerized, holographic and A.I version of her self. Even she could hold 4,000 crew members you only need 7 or even less because she is doing most of the herself.
Yeah for real!!! Rommie took on whole fleets using drone and shit...badass!!!
thedarkprince305 I’m with you. Andromeda was totally badass
With help of Seamus Zelazny Harper
Marek Barycz true. And Becca, Trance, and ofcause her dashing captain 😀
@@bourbon75uk Nope only Harper. Rest of team always aim to give him more repairs to do. In fact Harper is probably only reason why they survived that long. Repairing what other break by helping others...
I like them all but you forgot the White Star ships in Babylon 5 and the Mimbarei destroyer same show.
I guess you should have called it "Coolest Spacecraft"
Discovery 1 was interplanetary, not a starship.
TIE fighters aren't starships, either....
Exactly.
Does starship have a specific definition?
Tie fighters are flying coffins
The Enterprise NCC-1701D by far is my fav!
Hm, not all were "star"ships...therefore I nominate the Pan Am Spaceliner from "2001"
Sweet ride...
That one might actually be the first one being built, just add antiradiation protection and space reaching engines to a current airplane and it might do the trip around the planet or the Moon.
My favorite is the Heart of Gold from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
In the original series Lost In Space, the _Jupiter II_ was going to Alpha Centauri, not Alpha Prime.
& Jupiter // should be on this list imo
@@loucifer6296 i agree..
I thought that the starships seen in starship troopers were pretty awesome! Also I am a big fan of starship interiors... cockpits specifically. Some are lame while others are breath taking
Space:1999 - Eagle 1, Farscape - Moya, Star Trek Voyager - Species 8472 bioship, Stargate SG1 - Anubis' mothership.
No Rocinante? Fail. Nothing from B5? Fail. (seriously here, when NASA asks to use your design for real world applications, you get some serious cred.) No Prometheus from Trek? Fail. No Moya? Fail. No Andromeda? Fail. No Liberator (Blake's 7)? Fail. No Red Dwarf? Fail. The fanboy was far too hard in this one. Now I rarely downvote an opinion based video, but there was simply too much Star Wars, and not enough other SF. Hell everything on the list is in visual media. . . nothing from Novels. The lack of the Rocinante or White Star was particularly glaring to me, especially as the Naruda was listed. (It really wasn't interesting, IMO)
If we're including ships from games, how about the Andromedan Dominator from Star Fleet Battles?
You should check out rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C Clark
The rocinante kicks ass!!!!!!!!
Some of the coolest ships in SciFi are from David Weber's Honorverse. I agree 100%; novels should be included, and this was way too "Star Wars fanboy" weighted. I will have to disagree about the Rocinante, though. I love that ship, but there are other, much more compelling designs in that show. Just my opinion.
Oh, a ship that transforms into a giant maid, and that didn't make the list? Seriously?
Y'know the red dwarf wouldn't work in real life. The bussard ram jet it utilizes would slow it down more than it accelerates.
Edit: the Prometheus is a stupid ship
Discovery 1 is not a star ship, it's a system ship. It was never meant to go to another star.
True. Discovery 1 is also the most realistic out of the whole list
I think my favorite is Destiny, likely because it had so much potential that we never got to see. Still bums me out. The Yamato would be on my list, Defiant, The Executor, and The Protoss Mothership.
Missing in comments, Argo/Yamato from Starblazers
I really don't believe the list didn't include the Space Battleship Yamato (Argo) from the several animated series by the names Star Blazers and Space Battleship Yamayo 2199 and the 2010 Movie by the same name. In the year 2199, the refurbished Japanese Battleship Yamato made a solo flight from earth to The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
They undertook a voyage of 296,000 light years in less than 1 year to retrieve a device to rid the earth of intense radiation that was about to wipe out the human race. It was able to do this by 'space warp' less like a warp drive and closer to bending of space like the navigators used in Dune. Although the range was limited.
Heavily armed, its primary weapon, the Wave Motion Gun was a gun that used all the power of the ship at that moment it fired. The gun spanned the length of the ship, 863 feet (263 m). The Wave Motion Gun fired compressed Tachyons in a single beam of power that would have made the Super Death Star blush. Te first time they used it, they targeted an enemy base but took out the entire continent.
Also the Cygnus from the Disney movie 'The Black Hole' was kind of impressive as well.
Storm Bringer one ship that I like that I don't hear about often, probably because the game it was in wasn't stellar, is the carrier Acropolis from Project Slypheed
I really wish he would've picked one of the best from each universe, there is so much more than Star Wars, Star Treck and Alien
I'll fight. How about the following: Atlantis, Destiny, Ori Mothership (Stargate), Krenim weapon ship, Enterprise J, Scimitar, Suurok class
ships (Trek), Moya, Decimator (Farscape), Andromeda, White star... I could go on. I think you should make a top 100 and dig deeper.
The Galactica was great but you forgot it's sing fighters, the vipers. Cool look, lot's of power, laser OR 20 mm ordinance and very maneuverable . The enterprise C was also pretty cool as was E.
The Event Horizon was so "fast" they didnt even found out "where" it has been when it eventually resurfaced, that alone should have qualified it for this list. Plus its a beautiful Ship.
The Enterprise NCC-1701 by far
EXCELLENT!
The Enterprise is BEST! The latest ones
I like the Babylon5 Earth Alliance starship Warlock Class heavy destroyers. It's a carrier, troop transport, and single ship invasion force all by itself. The rest of the support fleet is optional.
I think the Lexx is a pretty cool ship.
Lexx is a seriously bad ass ship
Is the LEXX the ONLY interstellar planet-killer on the List? I think so !
How about the Andromeda or the Leviathan from Farscape or @ least 1 ship from Babylon 5 (WhiteStar, Excalibur, Shadow ship, the Vorlons etc) or The Raza from Dark Matter giez man
To much star wars this video
Iacob Aurelian what about "the Achilles" (i forgot the full name) from Andromeda ?
Iacob you read my mind
The Leviathon had to be in the top 25
Iacob Aurelian omg Yes!!! Moya!!!
I liked the Enterprise 1701E , it was the best looking Enterprise in my opinion.
Fun list. My favourite has to be The Defiant with cloaking and the upgraded structural integrity. Tho if I had my choice I'd also have a phase cloaking device for really sticky situations and Q on speed dial.
Gone through the comments and not one mention of THE LIBERATOR from BLAKEs 7. Google that and you’ll find out why that ship comes in at number 2. The TARDIS (TIME AND RELATIVE DIMENSION/DIMENSIONS IN SPACE) comes first.
Interesting that the TARDIS was regarded as not only obsolete, but damaged. The design was supposed to mimic the local environment (so would blend in inconspicuously). Dr Who's model was defective in that it could ONLY replicate a Police Telephone Box. Amazing capability for a defective AND obsolete ship.
The mimic circuit has been fixed the doctor just likes the blue box.
Another thumbs up for the Liberator Here. I too was scanning the comments to see if it got a mention. Zen was such a cool computer!
That's the CHAMELEON circuit.
TARDIS, not a space ship Liberator is assume though
How about the Andromeda.
Zellia Torsema Andromeda Ascendant . . . A good looking ship !
@@gabryaelharrisson9852 Very good looking :D. In fact i would say very arousing.
Golden Magellanic the Ascendant Class ship with a Fully Functional Avatar
the ship from event horizon was cool , it litterarly bent space and time and went trhu portals, came back alive.
Refit USS Enterprise from the movies is my favourite, I shed tears when she was destroyed. Millennium Falcon is a close second though. But my large light up model of the NCC-1701-A is my pride and joy, it should be at a the price it cost me.
Hans Solo - the only man who can still be cool after you realize he basically lives in his car.
It's just Han. Hello?
He flies his house
Lol, but what a car
How many of you think a drug trafficker is a guy to befriend?
The ""BORG"".... Aren't Conquerors (quote from John De lancie's "Q".. the BORG are the Ultimate users ... They've identified you as something to consume "as what they use!!" That's all..! )
I think Mike is in his element. #ComeToTheDorkside #Nerdgasm
The Liberator from Blake's 7...
Babylon 5 has awesome ships: the white stars, planet killers, corking ships. Moya from Farscape! You missed the best ones.
One of my favorites is the Naboo Star fighter from The Phantom Menace, another is Mothership from Homeworld. But my absolute favorite has to be NCC-1701-D U.S.S. Enterprise.
I did love the Naboo Starfighters.
Yes my fav r 1701 d and 1701 e
You forgot the City/Starship from Stargate Atlantis
What about the Hippaforalkus? ;)
is that related to the Interstellarpolyveroterachloraminrefinery fom bsss 11?
whatever that is this just needs a list one hundred
So "Mike of List25" GET TO WORK and be a Mike of List one hundred for oen time
Good point! 😀 SGA had a weird finally, but it was definitely epic!
Atlantis is awesome. The fact that if given enough energy (and luck) it can move anywhere almost instantly is amassing. But lets not forget Destiny. Seriously. That ship traveled the universe for millions of years, unmanned. And to recharge, it literally dives into stars! Also it doesn't use a hyperdrive. Instead it travel faster then light in this space and you can see it going so fast that light flows around it like liquid.
oh, yea a city in space, so cool.
My favourite spaceships of all time are, as follows :
0. Soyuz (THE ACTUAL Soyuz rocket along with the orbiter) Yes, I know it technically doesn't count because it's not from sci-fi and that's why I've placed it on no 0
BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THIS THING ? even the launch complex looks so amazingly cool, and the Korolev cross is always a nerdgasm. Oh, Yeah, and the movie Gravity made me love the orbiter a lot more, I mean what can be more satisfying than dodging debris at ORBITAL VELOCITY with those tiny reaction control thrusters , all hell is breaking loose outside and you just tss, ts, tsstststss tsss tst tssssst ts tssst
1. MCRN corvette-class frigate (if you're not watching The Expanse, YOU TOTALLY SHOULD)
2. UNSC Pelican (idk about u, but the thrust vectoring wings make it SO SATISFYING to look at )
3. USS Voyager (i don't like ST:Voyaher that much, but that ship looks Way better than the Galaxy class (Fite me))
To this day, nothing, not even x wings or tie fighters make me happier than seeing a wireframe Cobra mk iii spinning around in the original Elite on a BBC Micro.
The event horizon
Have my Like.
All the yes.
I'm surprised it wasn't on the list.
it's too scary
I quite like the Event Horizon.
I really liked the Minbari cruisers from Babylon 5, Moya and the Peacekeeper Command Carriers from Farscape, the Andromeda Ascendent and the Eureka Maru from Andromeda, the Goa’uld Ha’tak from Stargate SG-1, and of course the Defiant from DS9
Nick Okona what about the Achilles (I think) from Andromeda
Oh! If we are including video games, I think one of the coolest video game spaceships is the hyper-drive ship from the game Homeworld.
how about Atlantis from Stargate Atlantis, it's amazing it's a city which when it's shuelds are raised can fly to other worlds. that's quite cool
1) Discovery 1 is not technically a "Starship" as it never actually left the local solar system.
2) The "disk ships" in Independence day were NOT "starships." The Mothership (which stayed in orbit) was, but it never entered earth's atmosphere. Dude, do you even SCI-FI?
3) The TIE fighter is NOT a "starship." Guys come on....incapable of interstellar travel! (You get Tie Advanced...THAT is a starship)
"Nerd Culture!!!!!!!!!!" at its finest m8.
@@tyty8484 He right. Idiot Culture!!!!!!!!!!! at its finest bitch boy
@@Wundercc What are you even trying to say?
I just want to want to know why Voyager Didn't make the list? I mean come on, they were stuck out in the Delta Quadrant and they had to live on that ship. Oh and the Delta flyer that Tom Paris Designed so they would be better protected on Away missions. Now that was a bad little ship there. My all time favorite is also the M. Falcon. But Amonst Star Trek Ships my all time favorite is First Generation Star Trek ship
Voyager was a great ship. Had all the bells and whistles, B'Elanna was a whiz in engineering, Janeway was ace at commanding, Tom rocked the helm, etc. And the Delta Flyer! That baby was sweet. But I can never forgive how anticlimactic that ending was. They burst through a collapsing Borg conduit after destroying the Borg queen and finally make it back to Federation space where the best ships in the Federation (including the USS Enterprise NCC1701-D) watch them EXPLODE OUT OF A BLOODY BORG SPHERE.... for them to just check in, say "hey", and coast back to Earth and we don't even get a reunion or the satisfaction of seeing them on Earth, or even Star Base 1. What happens to the Maquis? Can they still talk to Neelix? Is Ensign Kim FINALLY promoted? COME ON!
That being said, it is a cool ship.
I hated the ending too. You have to assume she altered the time line by going back and taking her past self through the borg conduit but I wanted to see it altered for myself. Lol
Jexxie H well on Star Trek Online Kim is a Captain
The Sol Bianca deserves a mention being both beautiful and badass
The Mulleniun Falcon is basically a flying RV with weapons and armor tacked on.....and is still awesome!
OK, what about the Rocinante - I think it looks way cooler then the Millennium Falcon which is just a flying saucer. Give me a ship that actually makes sense!
Named after Don Quixote's horse, it seems.
I’m pissed at the biased that star wars got at least 7 spots and other ships weren’t considered 😡 I was guessing 1 for each franchise
Despite me still enjoying Star wars, I do personally agree.
I broke it down for someone else:
Flight of the Navigator: 1
Alien: 2
Firefly: 1
Star Wars: 6
Doctor Who: 1
Star Trek: 4
Lost in Space: 1
Halo: 1
2001: 1
Stargate: 1
ID4: 1
Battlestar Galactica: 1
Mass Effect: 2
Close Encounters: 1
Guardians of the Galaxy: 1
List25 ty it still quite unbalanced I’m not as upset now that I see the numbers
Well, this was his list. Mine would be much longer. Do not get pissed, as he may not of seen the others missed.
Still, a fighter is not a real ship with a crew. It is a fighter
USS Prometheus from Star Trek Voyager. The Prometheus triangular of the saucer section, state of the art weapons, regenerative shields, and the multi-vector assault mode make it the ship to beat. The multi-vector assault mode is a system whereby the ship splits into 3 sections allowing all sections to attack a target independently.
Space Battleship Yamato : Laughs in Wave Motion Gun.😂
No ships from Babylon 5?!?!?! The Narn warship is a beautiful warship. The White Star is an absolute work of art. The Excalibur is a powerful and unique ship. And what about the Andromeda Ascendant? And Voyager?
The Enterprise-J is my favorite. And it was designed by my friend, Doug Drexler. The studio gave him practically no time but it came out a masterpiece anyway.
From what I can tell he's made some great ships, although my personal taste says the Enterprise-J is interesting at most.
I didn't see the Andromeda
Out of all the spaceships on this list, the one from 2001 A Space Odyssey appears to be the most realistic and should be the model for all future deep space spacecraft.
Serenity and the TARDIS! Nerds rejoice.
Wobble Man yess
The Eagle from Space: 1999.
anacondapdx , true, but technically neither is the Discovery from 2001 which is included on this list.
@@anacondaeunectes1854 Exactly; many in this list CANNOT GET TO another star; Not Starships.
Some more ships from science fiction that are pretty cool:
Dahak - An Utu-class planetoid of the Fourth Imperium that disguised itself as Earth's moon, the computer gained self awareness in time to prevent humanity's extinction.
HMS Fearless (CA-286) - A Star Knight Heavy Cruiser under the command of one Captain Honor Harrington and saved a planet from a ship twice its mass crewed by religious fanatics.
Helva - A Brainship which became known as The Ship Who Sang.
Zaid-Dayan - A Heavy Cruiser of the Federation of Sentient Planets commanded by the vivacious Sassinak. It takes a lot to kill one of these ships, while being rather stealthy to boot.
There are some great ships in science fiction which can only (currently) be found in print.
I love the U.S.S. Vengance from Star Trek: Into Darkness and the U.S.S. Kelvin from the 2009 Star Trek. The Vengance just looks bad to the bone and the Kelvin... I really don't know. It's probably the unique design with it's single warp naccell at the bottom and upper neccell-like tube housing the shuttle bay and the deflector dish.
What about the Lexx? Or the numerous Babylon 5 ships, or space 1999 eagles, or farscapes ship? Your list is weak.
My favorites are: Vorlon planet killer. Species 8472 standard warship and energy focus bioships. Voth city ship. Enterprise-J.
I was thinking more along the lines of the battlestar galatica from the 70's t.v show and the troop carrier suloco from aliens 2
The largest privately owned starship in SF...1200 kilometers in diameter, the "Skylark of Valeron".
I am going to point out the many MANY different Sci-fi options that appear to have been completely overlooked. Starting with one of the oldest Red Dwarf comedy show put on by BBC. Then there is the greatly loved and missed Farscape and the living ships and others that many came to love. There is also the little remembered but incredibly advanced Andromeda Ascendant where it showcased what would be classified as a AC or Artificial Consciousness level ship computer. Then as others have pointed out there was the much beloved and sadly lost Babylon 5 show that showcased some utterly stunning ships. Then of course there are a even longer list of fringe shows that had impressive ships all their own. Like the long running Lexx from late-night Sci-fi that while not much to look at had some incredible abilities that would have made it a worthy contender.
So on this i put before you a challenge. Make a NEW top 25 list but this time LIMIT each selections to only ONE from each source meaning that one from Starwars and such. And make a rating system to use to compare each that can include anything from how strong or powerful to how advanced or impactful to the community it was. Doing this would create a much more impressive list and one i honestly would love to watch.
This needs more likes...
True points here.
I'm just shocked at how few even include Stargate ( all 3 ) ships. Even though I have to contest the Asgard Oneil class ship as the most powerful or coolest in the Stargate series. I mean, the Alteran battleship class Aurora not ever included. ( 3.5 km long MULTIPHASE DRONES for weapons, shields don't even slow them down, they explode INSIDE your engines. Destiny's star plasma powered FTL)
Even the original BSG has more than just the cool battlestar, the Cylon base ships ( flying yoyos without the string in looks ) were pretty awesome to see. ( I do not recognise the remade BSG as a viable source for anything )
Not including Moya or Talon from Farscape, nor Atlantis from Star Gate Atlantis just seems like you overlooked some of the most powerful ships in all of scifi. Talon alone was only a toddler, but could destroy everything in sight. I wish we could have seen him grow up.
Babylon 5 warlocke class destroyer
What about the shadow ships in Babylon 5...or even better...all the ships of the ''First Ones''. Epic
Ishimura from Dead space. Yep. Never going to forget that one.
Good list but I agree that Red Dwarf, The Heart of Gold, Moya from Farscape, Lexx, and Cowboy Bebop’s Sword Fish 2 should have been on this list! And yes this would have kicked off some of the other classic ships. Maybe only one pick per movie- show would have helped. And yes there are a ton of other cool ships in anima!
what are you??? 11?? of all SCI FI? what about rendevous with rama, lifeforce, space1999, Dune, babylon5, red dwarf - starwars is more like a kiddies saturday morning cartoon compared to these classics.
yah - he missed so much out!
he also missed out the lexx & the starship nemisis
He left out so much still a good vid
Lexx is definitely one worth mention, and pretty much every ship in B5. I especially liked the Shadow ships, though Vorlon planetkiller, Minbari Sharlin battlecruiser and Excalibur are pretty close to that one. Too bad that they didn't allow JMS to produce what he wanted in Crusade, that series had potential which got wasted by moronic micromanagement from the TNT network. I bet we would have had another cool set of ships from that series. Oh, and those tiny human Starfury fighters were cool even that they were vastly inferior to pretty much every other alien race fighters.
this guy is the perfect example of why everyone looks down on Star Wars fanboys
“Horizon” instantaneous travel from one part of the universe to another one with a blink of an eye using that gravity engine
NCC 1701 from TOS for me. I am also find of the NX01. Glactica from both series was awesome, especially the reboot. The Pegasus from the reboot was awesome too.
You would think with all the Star Wars bias in this list, you could have included the Death Star...
Gregory Reicha Battlestation, not a ship
davyt0247 so you are arguing because it is a battle station it cannot be a space ship as well? Does the Death Star move in space? Does the Death Star support any type of life aboard? Lastly, can the Enterprise be considered a battle station? Okay, maybe I stretched a bit for that last point, but the terms battle station and space ships can intermingle without nullifying each other.
Either way, it's no moon...
Gregory Reicha, if you include the Death Star among the spaceships, then you also have to include station Deep Space 9, from the Star Trek universe.
@@sylvaindrasse4261 lines get blurred no doubt but did the station move through space at light speed. Never watched the show that much. I imagine the Death Star did otherwise it would not just "appear" near different planets. Although I don't recall seeing it "warp out" in the few movies I watched where it was featured.
The White Star - Babylon 5
Star Wars is a really dirty movie!!! I mean, it even has LOTS of XXX Wings!
jaspr1999 i was missing the White Stars as well..
Seems like they're forgotten by geekdom.
Definitely missing the White Star.
yeah! I was JUST about to complain that the White Star, (and ANY of the other races' star ships) from Babylon 5 most DEFO belong on this list! Com'on Mike! how the heck did you MISS Babylon 5?!?! or, even Space 1999 for that matter, too?!
EXACTLY! and half of those can probably MELT the U.S.S. enterprise with just ONE ion blast! hehe (and even a lonely Drossy saucer can take the imperial wedge out with ease hehehe) can you imagine what the Mimbari can DO to the Death Star?! or, even a Vorlon Planet Killer?!! the Imperials don't stand a chance! LOL
You know, a Starfleet runabout could whoop Millennium Falcon ass.
Isn't a starship a vessel capable of interstellar travel as opposed to a spaceship?
Anyhoo-what about the Eagle Transporter from Space 1999,the Liberator from Blake's 7, Moya from Farscape as someone says below, the Roger Young from Starship Troopers,the Valley Forge from Silent Running,The USS Cygnus from the Black Hole?
Ahhhh!!! No! The coolest starship in the sci-fi universe is GUNSTAR ONE from the Last Starfighter. It's got a weapon called DEATH BLOSSOM!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
Thane Rogar - A different generation, early days of CGI!
Yet it was pure brilliance.
Definitely would have been on my list but my #1 is Moya, the living leviathan gunship from Farscape.
Moya would certainly be in the top 5 for me.
What about the Arcadia from Captain Harlock?
Jose Felix
I'd love to see Spacedock do a video on the Arcadia and the Yamato.
the Daedalus From Stargate is Fast More powerful weapons and Give it an over all sleek design. should have given it the top spot on this list
it really should have been on the list
I don't think we've even begun to make cool star ships
