Vangaard gyre class scout (Katarn's ship) this is my favorite in the fighter/personal ship scale.

Imperial Star Destroyer. Yeah... this is the one. Of the big ships, this one takes the cake.

My money is with the Moldy Crow as well. It is a Corellian Engineering Corporation HWK-290 light freighter, not a Vangaard scout, by the way.

I'm partial to Home One. It looks solid, while at the same time retaining an organic look with the curves and bumps. And most important: it looks like something an alien would build.

Someone already said it, but I actually find the VSD to look better than the ISD. I don't know why.

In no perticular order: The Invisible Hand, The Eclipse, and a World Devestator, after all why have just one ship when you can have a whole fleet of them. :twisted:

The Republic Gunship. Beautiful little thing. Awesome amount of firepower for such a small ship, and it looks great.

Also, the Death Star. But that goes without saying.

Uber:

The Vengeance. It's so.... shiny. And pointy. And... well... nice looking.

Biggun:

The Victory I. I like the wings, though strimming off the observation things would make it nicer to look at.

Littleun:

The Lancer. HIMS Flyswatter

Small, expensive tinfoil thing, built to shoot at other small, expensive tinfoil things:

For no justifiable, decent and explorable reason, the Y-wing. It's basically a flying brick.

I like Y-Wings with the original armor still on it. It looks rather nice (to me). There's a picture in the Incredible Cross-Sections.

A World Devastator would do me nicely thank you very much ... it keeps growing along with my ego when I conquer and desimate opponents, which suits me fine. :wink:

Although from the films ... hmm I don't know, the Executor has a certain elegance in its design, a cold dagger to the heart, if you will.

I must have a Death Star. Something about its size and pure destructive capabilities makes me most blissful (ironic, huh?).

And then there's the Eclipse. I like it more because it can easily overcome an Executor, yet fill a role only a Death Star or Galaxy Gun can fill, and it still has a type of emphasized beauty as if it's an Executor on steroids.

But for essentially normal lines, the good old ISD mark I and II will always hold my heart.

Capital ship: ISD. No contest here.
Fighter: Chiss clawcraft. Really beautiful lines.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

World Devastator. Suitable for planetary conquest, and after the locals are defeated, you use your internal factories to rebuild everything.

Or, you sell manufactured goods to target populations.

Even more fun is that you have a ~1 mile long factory, under your control, that will turn out just about anything you want. No need to worry about supplies or raw materials, just hoover a few million tons up. Engineers would have fun on board. Want a fighter or small shuttle, just have the fctories build it. Larger ships - build them too.

Planetary disaster - build shelters
Famine - rely on regular transports to bring food (or build them), and construct droid farms to handle the next one
Water contamination - buid purification centers
Walking city run out of parts - build new ones

You'd be Mr Fix-it for the local sector.

Overall favorite, the YT-2400.

For the Capital ships, I like the Dreadnought, for fighters, the E-wing.
