Venator. I just love it. At least out of the four choices.

I gotta show some love for the X-Wing.. it looked lonely. :) I like it because it seems a bit like the Tomcat, the go anywhere, do whatever is needed and survive fighter. Or maybe even the Corsair, after the kinks were worked out, it became a fantastic all-around aircraft.

I would love to have a VenStar packed with X-wings and B-wings.

ARC-170, B-Wing and TIE Defender not necessarily in that order.

Let us not forget the precursor to the X-Wing

Looks like the Millennium Falcon is winning. While its a nice ship, I can't place it as the best of SW.

I rather suspect it is being chosen as best for sentimental reasons alone.

I like both Star Destroyer options but they're very conventional in their design. They're great designs for a warship, one of the best I've seen in Sci-Fi but they don't have the wow factor to me of the B-wing's design. In an era where we're still designing star fighters that look like conventional fighters today it's a stand out.

The ISD doesn't have a "wow factor"?
You did see the start of ANH, right? :P

Yes I did, and it's iconic. However the design of the ship itself, what's at question here, is excellent but nothing that's really revolutionary.

It's not the topic here but i like that fighter from Lost in Space with the vertical orientation and distribution of weapons similar to the B-wing but with spherical cocpit in the middle and stand up pilot wich reminds me the Starfury from B5.

That was one of the upsides to Lost in Space, the other being Lacey Chabert.
