The only one that would make sense would be The Normandy, but the others, they were once offs and not really anything great. I mean the Nostramo was just a normal cargo ship, the Event Horizon was just a ship used for a horror movie. We don't really see them doing anything great or epic.
Yeah, it depends on what your definition of great is. Does is mean "great" in terms of the universe they were in, or do is it mean great as in "iconic" in terms of the world of Sci-fi.
Forgot about Discovery, good one!
Well iconic, something where it's probably more about the ship and the crew vs it just being a "vessel" for the story to take place.
but not really the ship. 
Yes, lots of philistines out there....Well iconic, something where it's probably more about the ship and the crew vs it just being a "vessel" for the story to take place.
I mean Alien could take place on a shuttle ;-). Event Horizon a house, the setting is just the ship, the ship isn't a character in the story.
Like you say Mass Effect, you think of Shepard, the crew and the Normandy, you think of Star Trek you think of Kirk, crew and Enterprise. You say Alien, you think of Ripley getting out the cryo in that skimpy outfit, the cat, the droid, the alien
That would be an iconic ship, not just one in a story, a lot of people wouldn't even know the name of the ship in Alien, nor even in 2001, as that isn't really the focus. Nerd though...
It is, the story isn't about the ship, it's Ripley and the alien really.
Sacrilege!
Macross or Robotech?
The ship, in all it's grimy, lived in detail is as much a character in the movie as any of the other characters, same with the Event Horizon.
Nah not really, I mean just look at the better sequel ;-). The setting isn't really as important it's just the ship. As I said in the other post for us nerds we know the name of the ship and Weyland and and
. But general people, hey that is some old ship oh my don't kill the cat . Event Horizon could just be a ship in Ghost Ship, it's there for the story to progress. as you would know it just by looking at it.
Robotech season1 = macross saga. So same same, no?
I think we will have to agree to disagree as the above arguments could literally be applied to any ship in this thread.Nah not really, I mean just look at the better sequel ;-).

I think iconic means when the ship basically is a character in the movie,series,game,book
Sort of yeah, some change ups here or there.
That is the difference between iconic and just a ship. Though Andromeda being on there? I mean how many people would even remember Romy? It's like having Lexx or Moya on it.
Well ascktrually..."That's no moon. It's a space station!"
Neither is it a space ship... tsk tsk.
And space stations are traditionally stationary, that is, in orbit around a moon or planet so it definitely doesn't fit that definition.
