10 Epic Sci-Fi Space Ships

[@natethegreat7967]

Pretty cool how the Gunstar has a gyroscopic cockpit, so that when Death Blosson is activated the ship spins while the pilots remain stationary on the same plane.

[@1Schnellbachniko340]

Super! Schau ich mir immer wieder gerne an. 🙂

[@1Schnellbachniko340]

Very good Video !!! 👍🙂👍

[@Gubayn]

Gunstar, one of the epic starfights of all time, but I like the desciption of the death blossem in the book over what they did in the movie

[@deimos2k6]

The X-bomber was one of my very favourite series ever! Now I have to watch them all again!

[@leebennett4117]

Deimos Station In the UK the Series was called Starfleet

[@kennethholland9021]

Very enjoyable! These are indeed epic spaceships, and I applaud the diversity of your selections. I'm just sorry that you limited yourself to 10. If you'll forgive the presumption, here are 10 of my favorites. The C57D - Forbidden Planet The Fireball XL5 - Fireball XL5 The Jupiter 2 - Lost in Space The Spindrift - Land of the Giants (not a true spacecraft, really, but what the heck) The Discovery - 2001 a space odyssey The Phoenix - Doppelganger The Valley Forge - Silent Running The Yamato - Space Battleship Yamato The Macross - Super-Dimension Fortress Macross (also love the version seen in the movie remake, Do You Remember Love?) The Red Dwarf - Red Dwarf

[@davesmith6794]

This was one of the painfully few videos of this nature that featured the Buck Rogers Thunder Fighter! Thank you so much for including it. The TF was sleek, sexy and original. It's too bad it's been forgotten by even most sci-fi fans.

[@1Schnellbachniko340]

Super !!!

[@bagera3005]

thanks for using my blueprints

[@fuzzyscarfandmittens4772]

Jump straight from talking about the Serenity to the Gunstar. Literally, "this is the Serenity from the TV show. The Gunstar..."

[@tacticalmattfoley]

Last Starfighter: still one of my favorites.

[@Babababababe]

I've always liked the Space Battleship Yamato with it's Wave Motion Gun.

[@darrenpyke8487]

The Liberator ? Best looking spaceship ever !

[@1Schnellbachniko340]

Darren Pyke 👍

[@khakhashisam3761]

2:05 "DB has never been tested. It might overload the system." I totally heard him say "DP". :)

[@colinmarble2552]

Really got hung up with the Millenium Falcon.

[@Psychlist1972]

Personally, I love the style of Star Blazers/Yamato ships.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Excellent video, and top marks and thumb up for listing X-Bomber and the Colonial Vipers. Trivia fact, the Starfighter from Buck Rogers was an earlier design for the Colonial Viper for Battlestar Galactica, but creator Glen Larson instead used it for Buck Rogers In The 25th Century! List only seems to be missing the; "Earth Alliance" ships from Babylon 5 with the; Hyperion and Omega Class vessels from that series!

[@Mugthraka]

Warhammer 40k Abbadons the Despoiler, Warmaster of the Chaos Legions Flagship; the Planet Killer. Imagine the Deathstar but meaner, more intimidating, Daemonicaly possesed and impervious to small fighters...

[@maxbrandt6]

Hell yeah, the X-Bomber!

[@jmm1233]

There is only one ship for me , Pride of Hiigara

[@HunterXray]

1:21 - 1:22 What happened there? Serenity straight into The Last Starfighter? Editing error?

[@MegaStartrek1]

Good vid. But I'm as usual disappointed to see that nobody ever mentions the Liberator from British sci-fi series Blakes 7. Surely that deserves a mention

[@TheNefastor]

I love the Eagle too. It's the only one in this list that actually makes sense both in terms of engineering and fitness for purpose. I mean come on, the Millenium Falcon is a cargo ship ? There's exactly zero room for cargo inside it :-D

[@kudosbudo]

Its the big pincers at the nose that grip giant cargo containers hence the side mounted cockpit. Thats probably why its so fast, oversized basic engines to push big cargo pods that have been further upgraded.

[@TheNefastor]

kudosbudo interesting theory, where did you get it from ?

[@davemarx7856]

Do you make any distinction between Science Fiction and Science Fantasy?

[@BlokeOnAMotorbike]

and then you have the White Star (B5), the Miranda-Class starships from Star Trek (USS Reliant NCC-1864 being such an example), the Avatar-class Titan from EVE, the biomechanical base stars from Battlestar Galactica, and speaking of living ships - Moya (and Talyn. Don't ever forget Talyn).

[@merlinathrawes6191]

Shame the "Liberator" didn't make the list.

[@xerx934]

Best looking ship ever! Blakes 7 went downhill after it's destruction.

[@MrAlextravaganza]

OMG X-Bomber! Thank you

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Agreed!

[@lwaves]

I loved that show and that ship. Interesting Fact: The Star Fleet theme tune was written by Brian May of Queen.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Yup!

[@Sartori1970]

Actually it was'nt. Brian May's kids watched the show and he did a version with Eddie Van Halen

[@narwahlssb]

MGSBigBoss77 looks like a caracal on eve

[@tranceluvah1737]

SDF1 from Robotech, The liberator from Blakes 7, The Andromeda Ascendant from Andromeda, Moya from Farscape, The Valley Forge from Silent Running, The Galactica and other Battlestars, and the Cylon Baseships, The Angel interceptor from Captain Scarlett, Arcadia from Space Pirate Captain Harlock, The Fiery Phoenix from Battle of the Planets, Lexx from Lexx, Jupiter Mining Corporation mining ship Red Dwarf from Red Dwarf.

[@kudosbudo]

Cobra Mk3 from Elite is up there. And the Rocinante from Leviathans Wake/The Expanse.

[@CaptainScarlet67]

Useless information time: The Last Starfighter = one of the earliest films to have it's effects created with CGI circa 1984. The Cray MX super computer used to create them had about half the power of an Xbox 360.

[@Kj16V]

Starfleet. Oooh so THAT'S what that show was called! I remember seeing it when I was like five or something.

[@ChrisZacho]

Almost the entire thing is about the Millenium Falcon while others barely get mentioned beyond their name.!

[@dadautube]

good selection but missing many!

[@Asimov16]

You forgot the Liberator from Blake's 7. Also the Eagle had two fundemental problems. First of all there was nowhere to store any fuel and it didn't have an airlock which meant you would have to depressurise the whole cabin before going into space.

[@thexmenagerie2308]

Its funny to me how asking fans of the genre for a top 10 list will generate so many different answers. I love the effort in making this. Its not the list I would have made. Its still good work and any constructive critiques can be see from others. I would have included the Star Fury from B-5. The B-wing from star wars. Destiny from Stargate. Truth and Reconciliation from Halo. Enterprise NX-01 (just because I love that ship, Space Battleship Yamato, the VF-1 Valkyrie from Robotech, Astrotrain (because its a space train), and well I could go on and on. I think I'd have done a lot less stuff on the Falcon and just made a bigger list. Still, there were things on this list I haven't thought about in a while so that was nice being reminded of them. Thanks

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

7:26 The Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs!? Never before or since!

[@joelb2297]

"...in less than 12 parsecs" -I always liked that reference. A parsec being a reference of distance not not time, implies that the ship had to fly the straightest possible course (shortest distance between two points being a straight line) so probably this meant the ship had to closely skirt Empire outposts, black holes, super-novae, asteroid fields, etc, whereas more conventional ships would route a safer, longer flight plan to avoid these dangerous obstacles. Speed was not the convention here but covert navigation, maneuverability, and ability to elude threats to the ship was the implication.

[@nitramletnan]

Death blossom should be an option for any inner city vehicle purchase.

[@christopherlockery9629]

Nice vid, just wondering though what about 'The Anastasia' from the old 1950s-1960s Eagle comic strip 'Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future'?

[@ironsheriffal6472]

Holy shit!! Starfleet! I used to watch it on saturday mornings. Why didn't you include or expand on the 3 ships that made Dai-X? I say 3, only 2 of them could fly. The third was a tank

[@Ironbuket]

Nice video idea, spoiled by some bad editing. 1:20 there is a no pause between ship sections making one commentary run in to the next. 'The serenity was a transport ship the gunstar'. 1:28 'it was a last line of defen...'? 6:16 'The USS Enterpri....'?

[@unusualbydefault]

wtf, actis ETA-2 and starfury are missing :( coolest designs ever

[@InternetGravedigger]

I do like how a lot of the old classic spaceships were in this, rather than just a bunch of new ones. {:-)

[@GeekhavenNetThe1stBAT]

InternetGravedigger thanks age has a lot to do with it😂

[@WolfTau]

Hammerhead from Space Above and Beyond! as mentioned earlier!

[@Rogers_Ranger]

incongruous data

[@kendaly4885]

thats all you say about the serenity??

[@SpectreOZ]

The "White Star" ships from Babylon 5 were quite the performers and very aesthetically pleasing as was the "Phoenix" from Geforce (also named Battle of the Planets).

[@1Schnellbachniko340]

SpectreOZ 👍

[@evacuatedspace69]

X-Bomber and Buck Roger's ship. Some of the best unmentioned ships!

[@flankspeed]

"The garbage'll do" ^_^

[@normanroscher7545]

Nice compilation! But I am dearly missing the USS Defiant from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. The X-Wing or TIE-Fighter would have been nice, too. Especially the later one is iconic, also due to its unconventional design but most of all due to its destinctive engine sound!

[@timhaugen6410]

How hot was Nel from Battle Beyond The Stars?

[@cybercapri]

Awesome List, I agree with 9 out of 10. You added the Time Machine from Dr. Who and frankly put I don't believe this to be a Space Ship more so than a Time Traveling Device. I would have rather seen the Babylon 5 Starfury in place of the Time Machine. Granted it shares many characteristics as the Ship from Guardians of the Galaxy, minus the paint job, it's still a formidable ship none the less... Even any Vorlon Ship would have been a better choice over a time machine... Cheers Mate...

[@Goruthar]

The 'Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints' leaves them all in the dust dearie. ( Iain M. Banks's Culture novels ).

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

7:50 But why is it right-hand drive?

[@BeautifulAngry]

no Nell from Battle Beyond the Stars

[@richardgray4063]

Nothing new, a lot missed my friend !

[@tracegreathouse3295]

Out of hundreds of spaceships, both TV and film, you chose these ten as your personal favorites? Well, ^5 then :) I like how you included quite a few of lesser known ships. Most other lists of this sort usually feature ships from Star Trek and Star Wars. Funny how two of the most iconic ships of both franchises were called garbage and both went on to save the day. A few of my personal favorites that didn't make the list: the Jupiter 2, I hated the show but loved the ship. A flying saucer Winnebago. Not much on combat or navigation but it had the comforts of home. The agro-ships from Silent Running were pretty cool in concept and design. The Mothership from CE3K to this day is still a mind blowing sight. But the love of my life and my lady will always be the Constitution class NCC 1701 Enterprise. No bloody A,B,C, or D.

[@milanondrak5564]

You let Han Solo steal Lando Calrissians glory for the death star 2 fight. Tut tut.

[@TheDannyschoofs]

what do you think of Valérian & Laureline's Spaceship (Intruder/XB982) Even the Millenium Falcon is based on it & it can travel through space & time :p ?

[@gthomashart3926]

:-/ interesting...

[@Agent-gv5vf]

OK, an interesting and some very predictable selection of ships but in place of the eagle transporter I would've gone with the either the Liberator or the Scorpio from Blake's 7 the liberator because of the advanced alien tech it has on board along with regenerative abilities to not just repair the ship but also it's power supply, huge amounts of fire power, the drive unit is also a very unique design would possibly make the Liberator the fastest in the selection, the Scorpio would be because that ship fooled the corrupt Federation forces for quite a while, being a Wanderer Class Mark 11 Planet Hopper which just passed unoticed untill their pinching of the photonic drive from the Space Rats, then the ship went onto the federation's must have list. Those two ships could've been put in.

[@scottfirman]

Cant argue with your choice of ships,I liked pretty much most of them anyways.

[@1Schnellbachniko340]

Top Video 👍🙂👍

[@christophergroenewald5847]

[@acw3ff1964]

The Main ship from "Star Blazers" the Argo I believe

[@thomasclifton3456]

If you look at all these 10 ships that you mention, only the Space 1999 Eagle Transport can be made with today's technology.

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

Couldn't be used for Earth to orbit (no practical heat shield, it would burn up on reentry) but for going between space stations, asteroid mines, and lunar colonies it would be perfect. Also it's modular, they never shown in on _Space:1999_ but the mid section could be swapped out, making it a multi-role, multi-mission spaceship.

[@scottcurness9277]

Get off the valium. My god these ships are awesome and youre about as enthusiastic as a prostate exam. I really wanted to see all of these but I found myself skipping. I agree with most of your list and I liked the snippets of shows.

[@missbish1000]

gunstar, one of the most epic star fighters of it's genre. And you did miss one truly epic fighter, Babylon 5's earthforce star fury. My all time fave ship. over all a pretty good video.

[@thexmenagerie2308]

I was lucky enough to have one of the Black Omega collectible models of that ship. It was a beautiful craft and several of the other ships were also very nice IMO like the White Star. Great show.

[@stuartkseels]

It is SOOO clear that the maker of this vid is a MASSIVE Star Wars fan! Next vid try to be a little less dedicated to your favs!

Why not Jupiter II from Lost in Space? Not enough weapons?

[@1Schnellbachniko340]

[@Rogers_Ranger]

from firefly you jump to gunstar with no explanation...what was your point?...

[@redgevillanueva731]

Why is it that the space ship is supposed to be advanced alien tech and they have primitive toggle switches on board? LOL!

[@darthmeow1370]

Because toggle switches are simple and reliable, they aren't dependent on software which can experience bugs at critical times and they're always in the same place doing the same thing meaning a trained operator with practice and muscle memory can A) know what is supposed to be on and off just at a glance and B) alter those settings very quickly without even so much as barely looking at them. Touchscreens are great in some applications, but controlling a vehicle's systems when one must operate them quickly and without focusing on them is not one of them. Physical controls are better.

[@spex20]

How about the SA-43 'Hammerhead from Space:above and beyond?

[@deathwatch27]

Okay first off this guys sounds as charismatic as part time retail staff. Also why is most of the list skipped though while the falcon gets the majority of the runtime. And during that time Lando is cut out for some reason , only to be replace with a line by Han from episode 4??? Racist much?

You missed X-wings, but otherwise rock solid.

[@dahaanmedina7542]

[@potstab2875]

The T.A.R.D.I.S. Is not A spaceship, but a time capsule. It should be in a coolest time travel machines video.

[@1Schnellbachniko340]

[@doctormab1]

It's Serenity, not the Serenity :)

[@timothydutton4249]

I enjoyed watching the video, but if I may make a constructive criticism. There was not enough time devoted to some of the choices compared to others. The Serenity got less than two lines of dialogue for example, whereas the Millennium Falcon, had far too much time, and the number of film scenes for it was IMHO a bit excessive. While no one's going to ever agree on all the most epic ships, I personally would have liked to see the Liberator from Blake's 7 up there.

[@pickleballer1729]

Am I the only sci-fi geek that liked Babylon 5?? I think the Vorlon ship that the ambassador had was the best of all! But several of the ships in that show would have made my list. I mean, if it's just about aesthetics, and since none of these are real...
