Greatest Ship Tournament

[The Signal]

Was going to open this yesterday, but with the Christmas songs one (courtesy of GG and aintright) just finishing then, I thought I'd give you guys a little break.

So, the theme is simple, which spaceship, timeship, Pirate ship, whatever ship you want is the greatest in sci-fi and fantasy? Well, seeing as this is the nth time I've done this sort of thing, you know the drill, but for any new players, heres what we do:

Stage One: Round Zero, vote for your favorite ships from sci-fi or fantasy and any ships that get 3 or more votes gets through into the next stage.

Stage Two: Vote off one ship per day until we have a winner.


Got it? Good

For round zero you get EIGHT votes each to use over the next 4 days, voting will close Friday night, I will finalise the lists, and on Saturday, we will go on to Stage Two. Have fun

Please, when you vote for something please not if you are the 1st, second or third person to vote for it, and where that ship comes from. So an ideal vote would be:

USS Voyager - Star Trek: Voyager (1st Vote)

I could go on, but White Star is by far coolest (IMO) of all ships... all others are way lower and there is too many of them to choose... White Star simply shines over them.. like a true star.
