Pick your own spaceship

Post by OmegaGuy »

If you could own your own spaceship, what kind would you pick? You can pick any kind from any published work.

I would pick an SJ Sathanas from FS2. Though it's not the most powerful ship around, it has style.

Either a Culture ship for the conversations and endless posibilities, or failing that the Heart of gold for adventure.
(Although I'd much rather prefer a culture ship for all the fun things I could do with all that tech, while insuring my safety).
Failing those, a TARDIS would be fun, preferably a modern one (The Doctor's was dug out of a junkyard).

1-Culture ship of any kind (Including meatfucker/Grey area).
2- Heart of Gold. (If I could do the calculations).
3- A Tardis

Been done.

And I'd take an Executor. Not too big, not too small. Hell, considering some of the wankships out there, it's just the right size! :P

A Tardis. The inside is whatever I want it to be, it can travel through time, space and dimesnions, and is virtually invincible. Plus it's easy to park :)

While I would go with a TARDIS simply because of the Functionality of it, (endless internal space, quick travel, Stylish Interiors) I would also have to put in a vote for a Highly tricked out and beefed up Marauder Corvette which makes a perfect cruz-Mobile. Not too big, nice firepower, able to land on a planet, very sleek.

My ship would have to have a personality, and be female. And not go crazy like Hal 9000 and be fun to talk to.

I'll be a wuss and say i'll take the Millennium Falcon cause it's cool.

While it lacks the power of a TARDIS or Culture GSVs the Falcon is cooler and looks more like a flying disk. I would use it to extort money from the governments of the world.

Either, yes, the TARDIS or... hmm. Culture ships are always fun, but you can't really 'own' one.

A Kushan Carrier could be quite nice. Fairly stylish lines, big ship, decent FTL and the support craft of your choice.

I'd probably go with the Enterprise-E. It has replicators, transporters, and a holodeck. What more could you want?

While its not that powerful, it still has enough in it to blackmail most of planet earth, and it looks cool too.

That being said, I couldn't say no to a star destroyer.

If you are referring to the Avenger, it was a BB class ship. :? Moreover it is relatively easy to design more powerful ships in that game.

I think I'll have to go wit hthe Tardis myself. Something about having a ship with a re-configurable interior at will with an insane amount of space, yet can park in an alleyway with ease and travel the universe is appealing.
