Two battered old freighters that have been highly modified and are used for illegal activiites by outlaws: Which is your favourite?

Millenium Falcon, won by the charismatic Han Solo after winning a bet against Lando Calrissian is the fastest ship in the galaxy, having won the Kessel Run in record time. It has hidden weapons and secret smuggling compartment and all it needs is a faithful first mate like Chewbacca to run. Can be extremely temperamental and unreliable though but is highly maneuverable in navigating the ins and outs of Death Stars and outsmarting Darth Vader.

Scorpio, hijacked by the charismatic Avon from Dorian, is hte fastest ship in the galax due to its experimental star drive. It has a teleport function and all it needs is a slavishly obedient Slave computer to run. Can be extremely temperamental and unreliable and is not too good in battle but comes with a lovely Xenon base to bolt to, including much free wine and a pet gestalt monster down in the basement.

Your choice.

Damn! It's really hard to choose between those two!

Have gone for the Scorpio, have always had a soft spot for her.

Scorpio.

I preferred the Imperial ships in Star Wars, especially the Tie Fighters. They were cool.

They're both great hunks of junk, but I grew up with The Falcon.

I've decided I'm going for the Millenium Falcon coz it's got much better handling... it got through a whole field of asteroids without a scratch, and Scorpio couldn't even cope with ONE asteroid without crashing into it...

And the Falcon's got a hyerpdrive

It even works sometimes, too...

Tough choice but I voted for Scorpio.
Scorpio's teleport system will get me out of a tight situation.

Scorpio - gotta love the sleek look and the chunky streamlining.

When it comes to Star Wars ships, I prefer the fighters - X and Y wings and the TIE interceptors from Return of the Jedi.

Scorpio because if it ever entered the atmosphere it could fly.

It has to be Scorpio, the Falcon is great but the Scorpio is my fave ship out of any sci-fi ever...even VS the Lib.

But the Falcon has got that holographic "battle chess" game too!

First prize is getting your arms pulled out of the sockets by the ship's co-pilot!

What could be cooler than that?

(as a spectator sport I mean)
