I should probably post in this thread, considering it is my own.
For Laurentis, I've never seen him as the usual combat pilot and so to that end having a massive battleship or capital vessel would be ultimately inappropriate for his travel or 'flag' purposes, although of course if he needed to do any fighting and had the capabilities that wouldn't stop him using those larger ships.
Rather, I've used the 'political' image I have of him and have chosen a ship that looks like it could function as an EVE-inclined (as in, it's gonna have weapons because EVE) 'Air Force One' - and in that I have chosen the Algos class destroyer
Liesius.
It's got a nice aircraft sort of feel to it, it just happens to resemble the ISODE logo when you view it top down, and it's a drone-boat, which makes a lot of sense for a character who's not really the combat pilot. I'd love to see a larger version of that image which says what's actually in the thing, but I feel it's a safe enough choice.
To use another sci fi reference, some people have their Battlestars, other have their Colonial Ones.
It's not big, it's not destructive, it's not imposing. Rather, it's good looking, convenient, comfortable, and capable.
