Coolest pile of junk

All sci-fi has them. Serenity, the Eureku Maru, the Millenium Falcon...

The contest isn't on firepower, as we all know the Falcon would own all comers. Which one looks coolest?

Personally, it's a toss-up between the Falcon and Serenity.

Everyone knows the coolest looking piece of junk ever is the USS Enterprise-D

As opposed to point defense lasers on the Maru and missiles of unknown power.

And the Serenity is un-armed

The coolest pile of junk, eh?

That would be the N.E.R.D.S.' steam car from Junkyard Wars.

Taking a pile of garbage and turning it into a working vehicle in just eight hours is an impressive feat.

who need's weapon's it's indestructable, and powered by a black hole.

I think of all of them the Maru is the most versatile ship and has a true workhorse look to her.

Well the low-end firepower for the Maru and Falcon isn't that much of a disparity. The Maru was refitted with High Guard weaponry which implies ELS missiles tubes with a ROF of 8 missiles a second. We know from "The Fair Unknown" that she carries two nose mounted forward firing tubes. So that gives her a ROF of 320 mts per second. Now the Falcon can put out more firepower in missiles initial salvo if she fires all of them but then she is out. Her actual guns are less powerful than your standard kinetic missile.

All these calculations are assuming the Maru isn't carrying her weapons pod; which greatly increases her firepower.

Now if you figure high end the Falcon might carry gigaton range but the Maru can carry Roseanne

Which is all irrelevant, as the contest is based on looks, and the Maru looks rather like a rusty dildo.

Am I the only one who thinks the Falcon doesn't look that junky?
I think it's rather graceful... it certainly shouldn't be compared to a garbage scow like the Maru at least...

Oh, and the coolest pile of junk ever is the Red Dwarf.
That's one huge junker.

Okay I know what the Falcon looks like. But what about the other 2. Does anyone have a site for them ?

But at the moment my vote goes to the Falcon with second going to Red Dwarf.

GO the Dwarf (amusing name for something 6 miles long). It also wins award for most dysfunctional crew.
