I like Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Not much else.

*ALMOST COMPLETE*
Here is a list of the Goa'uld and Ori space craft.
I think I've forgotten one or two of them. If someone could tell me which, I'd appreciate it.


Death Glider
The death glider is a staple of the Goa'uld armada. Often used to aid ground forces during planetary invasions, the glider is capable of atmospheric and orbital combat, and can travel underwater for short periods of time. It's inability to enter hyperspace means that where ever you see gliders, there is sure to be a Ha'tak nearby. Armed with twin staff cannons, the death glider's primary role is a fighter.


Needle Threader
The Goa'uld equivalant of a gate ship, the needle threader did not have a very long production run. The act of flying into the gate was known as "Threading the Needle", which very few pilots could master. Teal'c and Hammond piloted one hidden by Master Bra'tac to rescue SG-1 from Hathor's main base on P3X-254.


Tel'Tak
Tel'Taks are primarily used as cargo ships, but can also be equipped with staff cannons to take on an offensive role. Their size also enables them to be outfitted with Goa'uld cloaks. Shielding, while not common on cargo ships, have been incorporated on Tel'taks in some instances. Aris Boch, a bounty hunter, piloted one in his search for Sokar's bounties.


Al'kesh Bomber
The Goa'uld was in need of a mid range bomber that could assist their ground forces during planetary invasions. An Al'kesh has the ability to travel at sub-light speeds, can enter hyperspace thanks to it's own hyperdrive engine, and even be used as a troop transport. It's offensive capabilities include dual staff cannons and plasma charges used during bombing runs.


Old Ha'tak
The mothership of the Goa'uld armada, these obsolete Ha'taks are still a formidable foe which can travel at sub-light speeds and enter hyperspace. Armed with 60 staff cannons that can be used for both orbital bombardment and ship to ship combat, a Ha'tak can fire 200 megaton shots from it's larger cannons. Ha'taks also house death gliders in a hanger at the base of the pyramid. It's shields have the ability to protect the crew from a blue star corona for ten hours.


Apophis' Mothership
Apophis' mothership was a new and improved Ha'tak. Changes to the original design include an improved hyperdrive and much stronger weapons. It has the ability to destroy a fully funtioning Ha'tak in just a few shots. Shielding has also been improved, but was ineffective against the Replicators. After being transported to another galaxy by a supernova, it was set to self destruct after being overrun by Replicators.


Anubis' Mothership
The strongest ship in the Goa'uld fleet, Anubis' mothership was built from a combination of Goa'uld and Ancient technology. Vastly superior to any ship commanded by the Tauri, it's shields could withstand the barrage of fire from an entire Goa'uld fleet. Weapons include turret based staff weaponry used for ship to ship combat and point defense fighter protection. It's super weapon, powered by the "Eye's of the Goa'uld", is capable of obliterating a planet such as Abydos.


Ori Fighter
One of only two ship types developed by the Ori, the fighter outclasses ships of similar size such as the Goa'uld death glider and Al'kesh. Their primary role is to search inhabited planets for an altar that symbolized the popuation embraced Origin. If no altar is present, the fighter woud provide cover for the invading Ori army until the population either embraced the religion or was wiped out.


Ori Mothership
The pride of the Ori fleet, the mothership is the only other ship produced by the Ori. Weaponry consists of a singular Ori energy beam that can destroy a Ha'tak in one shot or severely deplete an Asgard designed shield. Secondary pulse weapon emplacements line the entire ring of the ship, providing maximum protection from any angle. Shields of an Ori mothership can withstand a very large amount of damage, but it has been noted that the shield fluctuates when the primary weapon fires.
