What are some baller ship designs that have featured in games? Can be any ship from any period in history or setting. If it can fit a person in it, it's a ship.

My pick, the Durandal from Xenosaga

The R-9A Arrowhead. Compact, manoeuvrable, great cockpit, wide range of optional extras. That huge glass canopy makes it a treat to fly. While the base model is a little sluggish, your dealer can fit upgrades that make it, if anything, too fast.

The Normandy SR-2 in Mass Effect 2 and 3 are really sharp looking. I personally prefer the paint job of the cerberus ship, but both are great.
The engine design and overall shape of the ship are great. It's not the most daring or off-the-wall design, but it sure appeals to me.

Piloting it isn't exactly the most fun thing to do in the games, but you take what you can get.

Destiny 1 and 2 have some great ships, too many to show but just look up exotic ships for either game and you'll see some cool designs.

I actually prefer the SR-1 because it's more proportional with the landing gears running the length of the ship.

Kinda more of a cute-toy feeling, but I've always liked the SS Dolphin from Pikmin.

When I was a kid, I wanted to have a model of it. With disassembling pieces.

Hoping that one above is from Eve Online otherwise I am not sure how it could be the GOAT if we don't know where it is from.

Elite Dangerous has some very interesting, even if relatively simple designs. I am partial to the Python, Anaconda and Imperial Clipper. Most are somewhat grounded designs, which are able to immediately communicate the main roles of a specific ship.
My explorer Anaconda:

I also found the Thargoid (alien species) to be extremely well designed. They look mysterious, organic, yet somehow credible.

Powerful, simple, yet elegant.

I've always thought the Tiger's Claw from Wing Commander was cool.

Can't find a better picture of it quickly though, and I don't really feel like installing it and taking a better screenshot.
