This really could cause a problem or two with time to which, no doubt, the real Tardis will show up and you will have to deal with Dr Who yourself.
How many times has Dr Who taken out the Dialeks again?

About twenty or so, however I won't bother gloting. I'll just space him the moment he shows up

I choose the Heart of Gold

Its infinite probability drive gives the ship Q-like powers.

MWAHAHAHAHAA!!!

And the ship's not made up either.

I'll take a [i]Macross[/i]-class Border Fleet Battleship, thank you very much. Near-instantaneous jumps to 10 kiloparsecs, and a shield with a really nasty overload effect. Instead of collapsing like SW/ST shields, it expands outward as it stores extra energy in the "virtual structure of the field" until it causes an explosion outwards with "the force of a high-yield fusion bomb." That oughta discourage any Trekkie fanatics.[/img]

Well, as long as everyone else is gunning up I'll take the Excession. Extra universal travel and reaction speeds faster than a quantum instant.
Oh and galaxy destroying gridfire.

Well, for general yachting around space, Ill take the Space Yacht Dora, AFTER her quality meeting with the beloved Gay Deciever.

I think no matter WHAT im in, ill take Gay's drive as standard... the whole Number of the Beast universes thing is kinda handy.

For sheer belivable-but-unbeliveable blowshituppus, give me the Sleeper Service. The trouble with the Excessions is that im unlikely to still be me after being on it.

me, I'm going to have to go with some kind of temporal assult ship. maybe the Krenim Temporal warship. out of phase so it cant be attacked, creates temporal incursions to wipe things out of reality... my kind of starship.

While the SSD's are tempting I'm going to have opt for "other". All of the choices suffer from a few fatal flaws:
1. They require way too many crew members. I'd want a ship that is crewable by 1 person (namely me), I do not want to have to worry about mutiny from the crew when they realize they can rule as despots with me out of the way.
2. Something easily *refuelable*. ST ships run on antimatter, which costs something like a quadrillion a kilogram currently. SW ships run on hypermatter ... which I highly doubt you can order at BP (or out of of Oak Ridge or even CERN).
3. If it breaks you are SOL if it can't be fixed with what you have on board.

So I'll take a craft that is crewable by 1 person, the tech level is not hideously advanced (so in case something breaks it can be fixed), and runs off D fusion (heavy water is cheap). Weaponry and sheilds are a non-issue. So long as you have enough firepower to make a thorough mucking of the planet possible you can set up your despocracy. Sheilds are not an issue because you can always retreat to Io or wherever.

Home One is my choice, modified so that I can actually use its systems, of course.

There's my STGOD ships from the Star Kingdom of Serenity, but those are overkill (nevermind that HMS Silver Millennium and the proposed HMS Star Kingdom of Serenity would wipe the floor with Imperial Terra, but I digress).

The Home One is a good ship with lots of redundant systems. It can take a beating and keep on ticking of course that is at the expense of higher maitinence costs.

Assuming I could get the crew for it, I'd like to change my support from the Macross to a Honor Harrington-class Grayson Superdreadnought. Better acceleration and more range with weaponry, and capable of so much more.

Weren't those wiped out by Halite sometime during the Reset?
