Yeah, the Scarrans were a bad idea, IMO.
That probably explains it. I clearly remember the accents.Syl wrote:Farscape was filmed in Australia with mostly Australian actors...

Soar, of course. 
Well, most of the really cool pictures from the Gap have been of Amnion ships. Check out the picture of Calm Horizons that Jay posted in the Gap forum awhile back - very cool and utterly alien.
Of more mainstream stuff, that's a hard choice. I'd probably go with Babylon 5 or Farscape. Some of the alien ships on B5 were just incredible.
That said, my first inclination was to choose Star Trek (Next Gen), mainly because it's what I grew up watching. Compared to the CGI ships in more recent shows they're nothing special, and as LM pointed out, the 'flat plane' travel was annoying (not to mention the sound effects).
And having said that, I'll admit that my Windows desktop background has almost consistently been the same Trek image for the last, uh, ten years or so.

But what a great picture... 
As for the flat plane, it's an excellent point, and one I'd never thougt of before Lore pointed it out.
However, in the spirit of argumentativeness, is space, the plane of travel/combat/whatever must appear flat from some perspective.
(Although it's less believeable in combat than in travel.)

I really liked the Naboo ships from the latest Star Wars flicks.....and that's about all I really enjoyed.

Haha, I was going to ask for a pic, 'cause I didn't know which ones you meant. They're pretty slick, that's for sure. Liked the Nubian from Ep.I as well, but don't think they're in the top echelons myself. Smooth and shiny is about all you can say for them.
