In a fight to death between space ships which one will survive in the end?
Your votes please!(NOTE: Because we all know that Lexx can destroy any spaceship whit a simple “Whoooommmp!”…
You can´t vote Lexx but you can vote any other space ship from any Sci-Fi serie or movie)

I’d probably vote for the USS Relativity from the 29th century. 500 years more advanced than either Voyager or the Enterprise, and it can travel through time. If it gets into a fight it could travel back a few minutes and warn itself that they should clear off sharpish.
I was also going to say the TARDIS from Dr Who but its not very reliable. (and it doesn’t have phasers/quantum torpedo’s/shields etc.)——————

The monoliths, however, are not space ships.

Just switch on the infinite improbability drive and you’re liable to escape any dangerous situation.

i vote for one of the klingon vessels with a cloaking device….second choice would be “fully armed and operational death star”, with complete complement of fighters

But the Death Star is a mobile star battle station so it don´t count like ship…

The ones observed in the Great Dark Spot by the [i]Leonov[/i] behaved like living things. TMA-2 was a stargate, capable of opening up a wormhole to its creators’ home. Sort of like the T.A.R.D.I.S., which is essenially a flying quantum singularity given a shape by the chameleon circuit.

life dont talk to me about life – HHGTTG20th April 2001 at 7:24 am #41837AnonymousGuestI wonder how a Borg Cube would fare against the Death Star. Could it adapt to the huge planet-busting laser fast enough? It’d be pretty funny if at the end it is down to the Borg Queen and the Emperor screaming at each other over the comm, “Sphere is better!”, “No! Cube is better”, “Sphere!”, “Cube!”, etc…

Ah, but you’d be a perfectly _safe_ penguin…I think I’d prefer that to being an about-to-be-dead human.
Hmm, no real preference when it comes to ships…so many of them kick ass…I just couldn’t resist responding to the penguin reference…it’s one of my favorite lines in the whole book. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]——————

I couldn’t agree with you more tolandria. It is “the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy”. Anything from Star Wars has to be the best ship! Oh, but I’m also inclined to say a Klingon Bird of Prey since they had that cloking device thing.
