4. Then you wouldn't choose Tiderian
Since the Empire didn't design them with high enough ceilings.

10. Jupiter II
Well, I was going to pick the MF, I mean how cool and a built in means to make a living.

But the Jupiter II just looks so nice and comfortable, I mean if this is going to be a private yatch to get away from it all that's the way to go I think. :)

6. I picked Voyager for the holodeck
I don't think the Defiant had a holodeck, but it did cloak.

7. It had a holocommunicator...
bet I could rig that to produce some 'interesting' holograms. ;)


Voyager would be too much to maintain and a pain in the assometric photons to park.

12. That's a bad call Ripley. Bad call!
Actually, with some carpeting, it could look good, but don't eat the corn bread. We could also play Rock 'em Sock 'em robots with the load lifters. Jettison the screaming girl out the airlock though.:evilgrin:

13. "Get away from her, you BITCH!"
Oh, no wait. Aside from the cool, scary comments (i.e., "They mostly come out at night. Mostly" and "It won't make any difference") that shriek did make my fillings itch.

Out the airlock she goes. ;) hee hee

14. none of the above, but how about
the racing yacht used by Lorq van Ray in Samuel Delany's Nova(can't remember the name). One of my all time favorites. More coolness than is fair in a short novel.

15. Give me the DEFIANT any day!
Since it's just going to be my yacht. It's a sexy, tough little ship. Nice and safe.

31. 2nd.
I love the style of that show. All of the spaceships being modeled after seagoing ships. The double-decker aircraft carriers were especially cool. Warm up that wave-motion gun.

17. I have to go with the one that has the best holodeck.
Therefore, I chose the Voyager.

How come the Red Dwarf wasn't included?

18. Can I have The Lexx?
As long as I can take aboard a lifetime supply of food? I wouldn't want to use The Lexx's food processor.

23. I don't think so.
Quantum Torpedoes, Cloaking Device, Ablative Armor = Crispy Fried Voyager.
