This is a link post Top 75 Spaceships
I intended to go to bed at about 11, but I've been buried in this for the last couple of hours. Yes its subjective and misses some obvious ones, but it is stunningly researched and he's got to talk to the original creators on a surprising number of them.

This is a normal post loads missing
and Starbug and the Tardis? ffs... one was designed to look shit, and the other isn't even a spaceship.

and where is the one that looks like a set of boobs? forget the movie's name... pretty sure it was flown by John Boy Walton though... anyone?

This is a normal post I don't get how
a spaceship that looks like a pair of boobs (however I don't think it shot from the nips, might be wrong...) fails to get into the top 75

This is a normal post Tardis must stand for Time And Relative Dimensions In Swansea then.
And if you'll notice its approaching each of the ships very much from a design aspect then I'd say Starbug is very successful. It was intended to look shit and does. Job done.

This is a normal post Like I said
Missing some obvious ones.

I could understand not including the Omega Destroyers as they're very similar design to the Leonov which is in there. No love for the Vorlons, Shadows or Minbari Cruisers seems a bit odd though.

Defiant? Well its pretty similar to the Enterprise variants which are covered in the Enterprise bit to be honest.
