    there are two answers for me....

    dragon ball Z's frieza's spaceship
    idw wrecker's xantium

    yes, i know the survival rate is zip-to-none on these, but it'll be super cool!!!

    sode note, i thought this was about relation-shipping, and i wanted to see the weird outcomes people made...

    full-on! friend-ship!!

    Star Trek Into Darkness - Kirk's Death HD vs. Space Battleship Yamato OST - The Final Salute (2010 movie) by VJ why we slap | YouTube Doubler | Mashup Helper

    kirks death scene from star trek into darkness enahcned with the final salute from space battleship yamato

    given the legacy of their long lasting relationship over the decades the yamato music strikes me as sounding rather appropriate for a funeral dirge

    If have to go with somewhere between mass effects Normandy 2 or a ship from 29th century star trek so I could experience any time period I want. Temporal prime directive be damned

    SDF -1 for me as well, though I would keep Gloval around, that man managed to outdo me in vitriolic cynicism and if he was real, I would respect him.

    For practical reasons: The TARDIS.

    For cool factor: Something Macross class such as SDF-1, Battle Frontier or 7, Elysion or even the Quarter.

    See now I would like to say Normandy SR2 from Mass Effect, but for it to be fully functional I would also require a full galaxy wide Mass Relay network... would I get that? You may as well ask 'what universe would you like to live in.'

    The other problem, (and to me it is a SERIOUS problem) is aside from the Tardis (good choice by the way, except for the problem of it taking you where it wants you to go, as opposed to where you want to go) all y'alls choices require crew.

    Lots and lots of crew.

    Hundreds of them. In some cases thousands. Crew that need feeding, paying (depending on the Universe) and general morale BS. Sure you could always leave 'emotions' and 'feelings to a scantily clad Counsellor Troi figure (almost a reason FOR a crew!) the sad fact of the matter is if you have a large crew, you will be required to be a captain.

    I would much rather fly around space having adventures with a small group of people.. So what would I choose?

    Easy, once I thought about my criteria...

    It'd be the Odyssey from Ulysses 31. Why? The ship goddamn runs itself. I can have a crew... or I might not. The whole thing is automated, run by a kickass (and loyal) AI computer, Shirka!

    The Millenium Falcon was in the running for a bit, seeing as it can get by with just 2 crew, but... goddamn that thing breaks down a lot. And you have to repair it yourself? No. Thanks.

    Captain any ship.... from an anime?

    Damn, I need to watch more anime.
    The only one I can think of is the Archangel from Gundam SEED.

    .... otherwise it would be the Normandy from Mass Effect.
