Most phallic-looking sci-fi vessel??

Post by Peregrin Toker »

In my opinion, it's the LEXX. Or perhaps the Excalibur-class heavy fighter from Wing Commander III.

NOTE: For variety's sake, I've instituted a moratorium on intentionally phallic ships such as the Stratos-Ship from Flesh Gordon and Dr.Evil's ship from Austin Powers II: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Otherwise, nominations are welcome.

Your comments??

(BTW, please don't call me a pervert. I once saw a similar thread at Spacebattles.com and got the idea)

The Lexx is phallic? I don't know what yours looks like but mine does not have two insect eyes and a spinal cord looking thingy.

As for the Excalibur ... it's pretty run of the mill for a fighter.

Most phallic would have to go to the Syreen Penetrator from Star Control. Anyone who knows what I'm talking about, respond.

I think the Penetrator looking that way was intentional. I mean, c'mon look at the name.

Oh, and at a certain angle, the head of the Serenity from Firefly, looks really phallic.

From Badmovies.org's review of LEXX:

"First time observers often have some impure thoughts about what the ship resembles (sickos)."

Culture ROU (don't know the class) is descibed as most resembling a dildo.

I'll leave it to a vulture to elaborate.

Is there some deformed-penis subculture I am totally unaware of?

That Excalibur doesn't look nearly as nice as I remember it ... ugh. How memory fogs up when you haven't played a game in ages.

Loose the dish and the Discovery from "2001 Space Odyssey" looks like a battery operated anal probe... I have horrible friends...

Perhaps you remember it primarly from WC4. The picture I posted is from WC3.

I've got to agree. Any Honor-verse impeller-wedge driven ship has to look like a double ended dildo by default. I wonder if that was intentional.

I actually instituted a moratorium about such ships, as it is abundantly clear that they are intentionally phallic.

The NaT°aCH oNCHLaak Invictus class superdreadnought from my universe looks sorta like a double ended dildo. Give it a couple of Shiva class dreadnoughts as escorts, and there you go...

The front of an X-wing fighter looks a lot like a penis, it even has a "head".

Isn't that going a bit too far in seeing analogies....

Oh, never mind.
