I just think it has the best design of all ships. + it can actually fly as proven in some RC video.
In search of great justice, sailing on a sea of stars.

Red ship from Dodonpachi is mai waifu

Vic Viper is always great.

The Image Fight ship is great, especially how it transforms for speed ups

Flame Zapper Kotsujin ship is pretty metal.

I quite like the plane from Fire Shark, though that's not strictly a spaceship (although we're all in space to some extent, so every craft is in some way a spaceship)

Mosquito 2 from Mars Matrix is pretty boss

Solvalou is pretty cool

Has to be a ship? Gee, they are all so distinct and memorable. How about the red one from DDP... Or actually the blue one, yeah, definitely the blue. Wait... What?

R-9E "Midnight Eye"

I loves me some AWACS!

The R-9E2 "Owl Light" is pretty sweet as well, although I never cared for the later radome models.

Nothing is sexier than the Silver-Hawk as far as I'm concerned. And I say that as a very moderate Darius fan.

The ships from Radiant Silvergun have a nice, iconic look. Really, there aren't a whole lot of truly distinctive and memorable ship designs out there. This one is up there with Tie Fighters and the Enterprise in my book.

More traditional (read: generic), but Ginga Force has a really nice looking ship. Very classic. It's the only game I can recall where unlocking a new color combo has gotten me psyched.
