I like the design of the UD-4L Cheyenne Dropship (Bug Stomper) from Aliens.

The SA-23E Mitchell-Hyundyne Starfury. The Only Space ship on a TV series that actually used the fact it didn't need to move to fly.

I seem to remember that the Hammerheads in "Space: Above & Beyond" used proper Newtonian physics in their spaceflight too, although I may be misremembering as it was a while ago now.

I do like the way the Starfury actually adheres to the laws of Physics in space. Many other depicted spacecraft simply fly like aeroplanes.

The Event Horizon from the movie of the same name was pretty good. It did a great job of looking a bit evil!

Lifeforce wasn't it? Remember something unfortunate happening to a younger Patrick Stewart in that, as well as that naked vampire chick wandering round with the impressive hooters. Always enjoyed it wink

Edit: to get my mind off hooters.. this was always my fav.
