There's several brackets to vote in. Some are pretty slanted one way or the other and, in many cases the pairings are ludicrous. Like, how the heck can you even compare the SS Normandy from Mass Effect to an X-Wing? That's just dumb. Anyway, here's the link. I'm curious to see which Star Wars ship takes it all.
http://science.howstuffworks.com/coolest-spacecraft-bracket-game.htm
Naturally, Star Wars and Star Trek will win everything just because people are voting as fans rather than on he actual coolnees of the ships. I'd just like to add, how the hell can you have "cool" and "spaceship" together and not have the Millennium Falcon nowhere in sight?

Enterprise and Star Destroyer square off in the semi-finals, winner of that series takes it all. Nothing even remotely interesting in the bottom conference.
EDIT: Also, no Event Horizon? No Death Star?

They were wrong about spaceships not coming more gothic or full of hostile aliens than the Aliens derelict. A Space Hulk would be more gothic, and more hostile.  Automatically Appended Next Post: It should be the Normandy VS the Millennium Falcon. Those ships are more comparable.

Didn't care about TARDIS or Heart of Gold so w/e
Galactica
The Alien Derelict (didn't care much about this one either)
They lose points though for not having the Slave 1, Klingon Bird of Prey, or the Prometheus (SG1). Oh, or Whitebase!

Well my pick is the SDF-1 Macross. I mean it's a mile long ship with a gun that destroys EVERYTHING in its path, that launches F-14 Tomcats that turn into robots AND it turns into a robot itself with aircraft carriers for arms.
But it's up against the Star Destroyer so it'll lose.
Maybe I'll start a survivor game with better options.

Nice show, but coolest star ship EVAH?
Not even close.
The Defiant which is armed to the teeth, can turn matter into energy, travel through time and turn invisible is the only one I'd rank even close to the SDF-1.

Chosen ships.
Enteprise, simply because it'd class not only the original but all enteprises presumably.
The serenity, just cause I hate the planet express ship....lame.
X-wing over the normandy because I don't like ME
ISD over macross.
moya over the warbird.
Heart of gold over the tardis
Martian war machine easily over the Galactica. Thats impervious to NUKES
Finally, the discovery, because we can make it.

My vote would be the Omega class destroyer.

Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

I liked the human spaceship in that Larry Niven book about a bunch of aliens that invade the earth.
It was cobbled together from spare parts off old navy battleships and powered by nuclear pulse drive.
