Talk:List of fictional spaceships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Those obscure comic starships (what is gundam seed, after all) overdominate this page. Somebody should trim those down to the most important two or three and put the rest into an own section (as is done with the Star Trek ships).

Furthermore I'd like to remark that Gundam Seed is utterly obscure and doesn't capture a more general imagination the way Star Wars, Star Trek or some of the other mentioned ships do. I mean, what is next, deceptecons, or mighty morphin power rangers ? hero turtles ?

Last but not least, the gundam seed entries do describe ship classes not individual ships, and therefore do not fit into this article's theme. I'm leaving them alone right now, but somebody should do something about that, preferably the contributor of those entries. Wefa 01:47, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The Gundam Seed ones could be moved to: Starship class

[edit] Organization

I'm trying to make this page a little more organized. I would have put them by size class, but that seemed too complicated so I went for "purpose" instead. Unfortunately, I don't know every single one of these works so for the time being, most of the ships sit in "Military & Exploration" right now (I put those two purposes together since things like Star Trek combine the two anyway).

I also took out the Star Wars stuff for now since it seemed redundant. I have nothing against Star Wars - it's just that those ships fit into different categories and I didn't know whether I should be separating them right now. Additionally, I took out any "types" of ships that were listed, since this is supposed to be "named" ships only (like I removed the White Stars from B5, since they are actually a whole type of ship, the only named one I ever saw was Maria (White Star 27) in season 5). - Lampbane

I agree with the cleanup, although I have restored three entries that definitely warrant inclusion here. The Enterprise needs an entry here given that it has been a part of the sci-fi world for four decades. Trek's Voyager is the namesake for a series, and the Millennium Falcon is an icon of the Star Wars films. --Ckatzchatspy 05:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I also agree with the decision, yet on that note, shouldn't the list then include the Death Stars 1 & 2? And what of Slave 1, Boba Fett's ship?
Should we get this on a vote? And/or should we list them better - with links to the lists of SW/ST ships?

[edit] Videogames

What's the stance on famous video-game ships? I'd like to see the High Charity, the Autumn, and In Amber Clad from the Halo series listed here. -Westerly

For Starcraft, you could include the Nagglfar, Sarengo, Reagan and Argo; they were the four original ships that brought the Terran to the sector.


  • How about the Von Braun and the Rickenbacker from System Shock 2? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.201.1.85 (talk) 15:28, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Transformers

Forgot Nemesis, The Ark, Darkside and Axalon. Shame. Oh, and Omega Delta (Autobot shuttle that crashed into bridge of Nemesis at the end of Beast Wars).

Stasis pods sounds like a good idea too.

[edit] Comics

While his character isn't originally a spaceship, Ultimate Galactus is actually represented by a fleet of spaceships collectively known as Gah Lak Tus.


[edit] First Ark to Alpha Centauri by A. Ahad

Article needs to include the first human colony ark to New Earth, an as yet undiscovered planet of Alpha Centauri B depicted in A. Ahad's famous novel series First Ark to Alpha Centauri (2005):

[edit] Removed Star Wars/Star Trek listings

I'm not sure these made it to the appropriate lists, but they weren't suppossed to be on this list:
