King of the Vagabonds
It's called the 20hurts, and it's essentially a huge subwoofer with a small control module welded on the top that cruises round the universe killing bad guys with unimaginable basslines.
It has an exhaust the size of the blackwall tunnel and one of those natty strips of neon on the underside.

I will have the liberator from blakes seven.

a genuine importer of owls
Also an EVE player, and can be found in an Apocalypse called War Bastard.

Actually, might as well flounce.
Whatever reasonably-sized family spaceship is most popular for intergalactic reps - they rack up the miles, so I trust their judgement - and holds its value well. And of course I wouldn't name it, unless its registration plate spelled something amusing by chance.

We haven't had 'Design your own all-new Star Trek series yet'...
Star Trek: The Blank Generation. In which we follow the adventures of several washed out Star Fleet Academy cadets as they spiral down into a mess of apathy, drug addiction, prostitution, and casual violence. Starring Will Wheaton as Wesley Crusher, and some people who can genuinely act.

Don't swallow the cap
The good ship Scuttlefish is a scuzzy little rustbucket rendered invulnerable to any attack or collision by the simple fact that if it could be destroyed it would have been long ago, what with all the shit it's been through. Top speed is limited only by the amount of toxic engine exhaust you feel able to inhale whilst piloting it. The sound system remains the only thing in the universe you can hear from across several light years of total vacuum and comes fully stocked with one CD; the very best of T-Rex 
It is dark grey, black in the various places where it's been fried by plasma cannons and gridfire. It features not one, not two but three yellow stripes; one of which has fallen off.

While we are on Nerdgasm day, name your ship and outline it's capability and class

Deus Ex Machina
An old re-fitted lighthugger with a jury-rigged electronics system over the organic layer that has since gone autistic. Anti-matter Engines are useless as they are controlled by the defunct organic layer.
One railgun that escaped demilitarisation.
A limping mean old man with a hidden punch to take out fiesty upstarts
Oh Cool Thread!
I feel like it's my birthday.The Holiday of Fate.
A dangerousley experimental void needle three killometers wide and black as absolute zero. A criminal to the laws of physics with a fetish for penetrating of G-types, no pilot, a human passenger and billions of tonnes of planck-tec production power to make friends and influence... er, stuff with.

So many particulars. So many questions.
You cannot even see my starship because I am hacking your cortex

Not a house elf a tiger
The lovely Angel .Ugly old space tug lots of guns and sheilds needs them as its captain and crew are too stupid to run away from a fight .Not as cool as serenity but not as smeggy as red dwarf.

Outwardly rather small and insignificant but in reality a fuck off fast spaceship with bad ass matter transmuting weapons

I am Noodle's bitch.
I'll just bring these bad boys to any interstellar battles that I might find myself in:
And, just for the lolz, I'll have my Vogon Constructor fleet controlled by a single central computer:
And, if the combination of the mighty Vogons and the dreaded HAL9000 isn't enough deterrent, I'll broadcast Vogon poetry at Volume 11 on all frequencies.
*Grins malevolently, and proceeds to go postal throughout the entire Solar System*

'Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits
On a lurgid bee
That mordiously hath bitled out
Its earted jurtles
Into a rancid festering [drowned out by moaning and screaming]
Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles
Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts
And living glupules frart and slipulate
Like jowling meated liverslime
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes
And hooptiously drangle me
With crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon
See if I don't. '
And that's just for starters.

in space no one can hear your bass
Bit fucked on the top end as well.
I think I would have to go for a medium sized ship.
There are fitting i would consider essential.
Lots of flashing lights and shit so the UFO anoraks could say "I told you so".
Plasma based weapons for shooting Robert Mugabe and scaring the fuck out of the Israeli government.
Transporter systems so I could raid banks and not give a arsehole about their security systems.
Also handy to sneak into ladies bedrooms.
Extreme viewing technology for watching the aforementioned ladies in the shower. Also handy for new cinema releases.
Replicators for food and whatever.
Wireless hot spot
Spare bedroom for child maid - I'm fucked if I'm cleaning the bastard thing.

humm let me think
Name: Kyuubi
i'm thinking long sleek triangular shape not unlike that of a speed boat of luxury yacht ... not that the hydrodynamics of that shape are important in space... it just looks cool and it's always good to have a pointy bit in front
colour: dark dark grey, just off black however it does have a stylised nine tailed fox design on one side to act as a name plate
The ship is alive although it's nature of existence is slightly unknown as it does not directly communicate with the outside world
the crew are bio engineered cyborgs given birth to by the ship itself these crew although possessing individuality also share a certain level of connection both to each other and the ship if the ship can be seen as the mother then the captain can be seen as the father as the nature of the crew is also determined by the captains personality... (the addition of fox ears and tails to the crew being an example)
primary power system: sealed gravitational well
primary defence: AT field generated by a crew member synchronising with the ship
primary drive system: dimensional displacement, move form a to d via え
Fighting: done up close and personal, while the formidable defensive system soak up the attack a small group of crew are displaced other to the other ship whereby the other crew discover it is quite hard to command a battle when you have a cute but somewhat psychopathic girl making friends with the other members of your crew, this also has the secondary benefit of killing people while leaving the ship relatively unharmed
the captain is kept in the heart of the ship hooked up directly to the ship, however the captain gets around by taking over either a blank body grown by the ship or by co-habiting the body of another crew member
the ship is quite luxuriously laid out with the primary emthisis of having fun
the ship is not aligned with any other organisation and is somewhat amoral exploiting people and even playing god to some primitive species, however it must be said that given that the ship and it's crew are just out to have fun the worst that can be said is that instead of a particular society labouring thousands to death to build a golden temple to their sun god greytath they instead laboured thousands to death to build a golden temple to maid outfits... a more enlighted crew might have tried to minimise the death but the kyuubi crew decided that a visitation from a maid goddess would mean at least the religious wars would be more intresting

I find your use of metaphysical imagery and interesting rythmic structures quite fascinating.
