I can´t decide between millenium falcon, emperor-class battleship,space marine battle barge, covenant cruiser and executor-class command ship.

A Galaxy-Class Starship. Park it over Earth and open it as a 7-star hotel. People will pay a fortune for the facilities my ship can provide.

did we mention that the Escher can pre-observe and choose anything that's unknown. (not only did your railguns all have overloads, but your missiles are loaded with pepsi.

Except, unlike the other examples, insufficient training, (which, yes, would be an impediment) the Imprimateur is a defence mechanism designed to stop us lesser races using TARDISes. There would also be serious problems using say, a leviathan, or a puddle jumper, which also have built in blocks to normal humans using them.

Did you fail to see the obviously deliberatly-designed hull opening that allowed the Master Chief and the bomb to float right into the reactor chamber?

Indeed, that pissed me off. The only logical reason for that extremely thin ridge of armor to have been like that is if it had somehow had taken a glancing hit from a SMAC round or something. Normally, Covenant ships simply aren't that flimsy (heck, in TFor, a frigate gets bisected two or three times by MACs and keeps on fighting.) The huge, empty core area was also kind of weird, although considering that the Unyielding Heriophant also had a similar core, I suppose the Covenant reactor system might necesitate such a design.

The Enterprise, I think. Or maybe an ISD.
BTW, the Paradigm class cruiser looks great. Nice work Antares.

A GSV would be the first choice. Although you couldn't be said to "own" it, the populations can range up to planetary scale, they're self sufficient, and the Culture probably has enough technologcical cabability to build or simulate any other ship you might desire.

Either that or Macross 7. Again, it's a cityship with a million or so citizens, so you wouldn't be lonely, but this time it comes with it's own flight wing of variable fighters, which are at least five entirely different kinds of cool.

Would need modification for true self sufficiency though, it currently relies on an agriship.

Does the Delorian count?

If not, the new Galactica.

Nyrath · Post by **Nyrath** » 2006-03-05 11:16pm

I'd take a WarpShip of my own design, of course.

Failing that, I'd settle for the Galactic Cruiser Leif Ericson.

I'd go with the Executor. You really can't go wrong with it. It's not weak, but it isn't exactly wanked out either(though some may disagree, but that's what broadsides are for...).

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2006-03-05 11:51pm

I would either take a Mercury class Battlestar or the Galactica. Those babies can take a beating and keep on dishing out ass kicking.

Dang, those are sweet. I've tried my hand at 3D modeling before, but could never get the hang of it. Awesome work. I really like the wing design on the second one.

I'll take the Sith Infiltrator. I don't need anything huge, just something I can crew by myself, and maybe take some friends a trip or two.

Faram · Post by **Faram** » 2006-03-06 02:09am

The Liberator.

I just loved Blakes 7 when it aired in at the cable chanels in the 80's

Vanas · Post by **Vanas** » 2006-03-06 01:29pm

Actually, I'll change my vote to the Somtaaw Shaman carrier.

Much the same, but with a spare frigate bay and doors. I'm torn wether to use the spare bay to build destroyer pieces, build extras for the ship or just convert it into a giant swimming pool.

why do I see this in my message box and think that somehow pick should be getting a starship full of bishonen?

Heh, With our Queen of Bishy, the word "pick" shal lfoever have a double meaning.. Indeed "Pick, your own Starship" could mean something else... I wonder if she can make a starship sexy, as everything else she draws is

Post by **NecronLord** » 2006-03-06 05:51pm

Anyway... I'll take a late-period starfleet vessel, Sovreign class perhaps. Something that has replicators, a good computer archive, and can be powered under non-warp conditions by hydrogen.

I would pick a romulan ship, so I could cloak it, but that would render its displays and remedial learning programs unreadable to me. Instead, I'd just hide it behind the moon.

Mayhem · Post by **Mayhem** » 2006-03-06 06:21pm

hm.... YF-19 from Macross plus for sheer style and fun, but retrofitted with SW power systems, engines, inertial dampners, weaponry, and sheilds if there is room for 'em.

Of course I then spend a couple days or weeks screwing with the air-forces of every major country on earth.

CaptJodan · Post by **CaptJodan** » 2006-03-06 06:38pm

I'd take a Culture ship, preferably one large enough to have some space, but not too large to be considered greedy.

It's not for the reasons of galactic conquest or dick waving either. I just want to have the option of seeing everything but at the same time not having to work for it or do anything. I can sit back, be on a mind altering drug, or just shoot rapids or do whatever the fuck I want until we come across something interesting, and then participate and go back to life. If I wanted to help with whatever scientific readings came about, I could, but I wouldn't have to. I'd have no interest in galactic domination (I know, I'm on the wrong board), I'd just want to travel around and be left alone (but have at least SOME ability to kick ass if someone was pushy).

Keeping a YT up and running, let alone a Star Destroyer is just too much WORK.
