What are your favorite spaceships from science fiction shows, movies, games, comics, anime or anything?
The Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop is probably my top favorite. I like the idea of small compact ships meant for a single person and going fast.
For that same reason I love the Razorback from The Expanse. Except the engine to ship ratio in this universe probably makes more sense realistically. The cockpit 360 swivel system is also really clever.
The Outlaw Star from.. Outlaw Star is not a small ship. I just like it because it looks cool despite its goofy unrealistic grapple arms that hold weapons.
I wish more sci-fi would come up with ships where the direction of thrust is perpendicular to the decks. There's not many of them and most of them are ugly. The design space is criminally under explored.
Even if you have artificial gravity, for a spaceship that never lands, it makes no sense to have to cancel out the g-forces produced by the thrust, then expend additional energy to reorient gravity to deck plates.
