Nice find though, with all of its flaws. Though you can only find flaws if its about peoples opinions..
Whoever compiled that list needs to fix that oversight. Still, many of those designs are familiar to me. That said, I may have some catching up to do with those that aren't. My all-time favourite is still the Odyssey (and the Enterprise, of course) which I first saw as a kid.
I agree with the comments posted. My apologies to Dr. Who fans, but the Dradis phone booth has no business being in that list.
Odd since Star Trek and Star Wars give him a hardon, since he stacked his list of 75 with what, 15 ships from ST/SW?
I do agree with some of his choices, the Nostromo and Sulaco, Discovery, the EVA-POD, the Dropship... some of those are badass ships. hell even the Roger Young rocked.
Notice how non-alien these ships are, you can see them all serving the Earth Alliance, but not anybody else.
The one thing I'd love to see in a TV/Movie is a deep space vessal that truely respects the laws of physics. The Discovery is a close as yet been seen and that was designed 30 years ago.
On the other hand, for a single passenger, limited distance vessal, the Starfury got as close to obeying the laws of physics as you can get without be strictly tied to current tech.

But you are right, seeing ships that do obey true laws is always nice. and very infrequent.
I suspect that a large scale spacefaring vessel that is designed to the constraints of physics would look very foregin to most. Or at the very least lack much of the granduer that movie ships are designed to convey.
Jake
Nearly half of them are those "includes every clichee - never mind about physics or usefulness" types!
Considering that there should have been plenty of space for at least Omega destroyer, Shadow Battlecrab and Starfury.

Neither there would be much space availability problems restricting them to compact solid objects so putting any potentially hazardous systems farther from crew area etc. would be surely considered during design.
