My ship would be called "Sagan's Legacy" or something similar and it would be designed around function rather than form. It would be brimming with scientific instruments and built to allow lengthy scientific/exploratory missions to distant, yet-unseen regions of space. It's crew would consist of intelligent, well-educated and open-minded people from all over the world.

So I used to write a lot of bad sci-fi and came up with the idea a long time ago of taking a Midway [http://www.wcnews.com/newestshots/full/original-midway.jpg] class megacarrier (designed to be a one ship fleet already, fitted with science and marine quarters, anti-Capship weapons as well as anti-fighter weapons and its fighter and bomber compliments) and super-sizing it.

The design I ended up with was bigger than a planet (to give you some idea of size a ringworld [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworld#Ringworld_engineering] is 997,000 miles wide, I came up with a story arc in which one of my ships was modified with creation engines [contained nanobots, able to take a handfull of dust and produce a pistol, or the contents of a solar system and...] to build ringworlds by circling a sun, tug boats and mining ships slicing up and towing the mass to the ship provide the supply.)

I named the flagship the Tuatha De Danaan. The ships were outfitted with various experimental technologies, multiple halo style ship-board AI's and worked as a sort of inter-galactic peace keeping force (later calling themselves 'the order') on behalf of the confederation.

So, yeah, I choose my vast super-midway ship called the Tuatha De Danaan.

Well, I think that - mostly because of Dave - I will call it the "No, Don't Put That There!", and give it the false ID of 'Sally Forth' to mislead the authorities. Heh, good times...
