The star furies are about the only ships I can readily think of that don't just operate as "fighter jets, but in space". Actually taking the physics into account was pretty damn cool.
The harvester from independence day 2 really makes me wish that movie had done better so we'd get a third. Something that size would pretty well fuck up the earth's entire balance of everything.
/Side topic, The ball deciding humans could finally take the fight back to the aliens could have been really cool to explore. Having humanity go from war of the worlds to XCOM to leading the rebel alliance would have had a ton of potential stories. Heck I'd probably watch a season of "the continuing adventures of warlord and accountant man" as some kind of sg1 like guerrilla unit.
