Nothing beats a clean corvette..

Flight of the Navigator, I loved how it changed shape!

Flight of the Navigator was an interesting movie. I remember hearing rumors it was based on a true story, (same kind of rumors that came in the wake of E.T.), and interestingly enough, one of the writers (Burton, I believe, not Tim), did only one other thing, and it was a tv movie about a spy, Aldrich Ames.

Of course, there's no real evidence to suggest it is based on an actual case (Navigator, or E.T.)

What's interesting about it, is that many of the claims from some of those who claimed to have seen the interior of such ships, are reflected in this movie's craft.

1. Shape-changing ability
2. Absence of seams
3. Silvery color
4. Solid windows on outside, can see through on inside, more like wall tv
5. Shape of the piloting chair
6. The "liquification" effect for the door
7. The antigravity effect even when "parked"
8. The fast movement
9. Even undersea operation capability

Did anyone notice that the Jupiter Two, from lost in space was so much bigger on the inside then outside? I like anything Star Trek.

I've never heard that before! very interesting was a cool film with interesting ideas like you say!

That is such a great list, if things like that really existed, I dunno, just mind blowing, a shape changing craft with underwater capabilities and the liquificating door just amazing!

Has to be said, the NSEA Protector fro Galaxy Quest was a slick vessel but my all time favourite would have to be the Excelsior-class refit such as the USS Lakota from DS9's "Paradise Lost" episode. The Excelsior class was a magnificent, graceful design that took my breath away when I saw it in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Certainly stood the test of time for it to appear to often in the later series'.

I think you can pick up these units fairly cheap.

The one in Independence day is one bad boy [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/630f7e145ba2.jpg[/atsimg]

and packing major fire power. Not sure what the name of it is but anyhow here is a tiny clip. You have to watch a second to see the space ship.

Give me U.S.S. Voyager any day!

You have asked a hard question to answer. I can only answer one way. What is my least favorite sci-fi ship. That would be starship enterprise from the last Star Trek. For the simple reason, she bore very little resemblance to the original. Although I did like the engineering set. The bridge was a little over decorated, so I sick Bay. And the course too.:bash:

My favorite sci-fi spaceship is the spacecraft described in Rendevous with Rama, by Arthur C. Clarke. If you're going to travel in space, why not take a world with you? Cool.

'Serenity' from Firefly. I mean, a ship built from odds and ends! Awesome!
And also, 'Moya' the Leviathan, from Farscape. Two of my favourite shows.

I would love to get into Babylon 5 but many of the Sci-Fi dvds are super expensive at the moment.

Lonestar's Space Winnebago



homeboys in outer space - the space hoopty

1 - HAS to be - War Ship Voyager (I do remember the episode) - StarTrek Universe.

2- USS Defiance & If my memory IS correct, there WERE other ships along the "same class" as the Defiance - StarTrek Universe.
