The Event Horizon is great. So are the others that immediately come to mind. What’s your favorite forgotten/lesser known ship. Here’s the Cygnus from The Black Hole.

    I’ve always loved the fighters (Starfury?) from Babylon 5:

    I used to spend a lot of time modelling them in 3D software, just because! I love the aesthetic, how they have a hint of modern military (the cockpit is Apache helicopter-like), the way they’re held then launched almost like missiles, and how agile their design inherently is. Plus, the design obviously has some nods to the ship in The Last Starfighter and of course the X-Wing from Star Wars - both of which are cool ships.

    In the game Elite Dangerous, there’s a ship called a Vulture that has similar elements (cockpit, size-ish, agility) and in VR is the closest I’ve come to feeling like I’m flying one!

      Came to say these fighters. The forward/backward propulsion on each pylon just makes sense in space.
