Yes, AOk's Hype is named partly to irritate Havo, though she also greatly admired KM beforehand.

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.

The cramped conditions for destroyers is not for everyone. Moreover, as a destroyer only leaves dock with combat in mind, a very specific mindset is needed to live on one. As with frigates, only experienced or highly-trained crew are enlisted onto destroyers.

That doesn't take into account, however, that the Algos has two lovely patio decks where you can chill out with a beer, have a BBQ, spread out a few beat-up couches...

The TES Empress Jamyl is a more than five year old Armageddon. It was one of my luckiest geddons before Jamyl's coronation and I changed its name in honor of the event. It has been barely flown, because I don't have much use for a battleship in FW.

At first I lol'd, then I facepalmed, then I set my nitpicky lore-hound aside and laughed again. Well played.

I always did wonder why it had that fence on it... it's taller than any normal human by far. It's more like monkey bars, actually.

Variable based on her mood, but Reppy's private sanctum is the Talos-class Jagged Claw.  I use it to blitz level 3s, which is not a good way to make money, but is some of the most fun I've had running missions.  She doesn't let anybody aboard that thing without a damned good reason.  Everyone needs their special, private space.

Odelya doesn’t really has a flagship. The Vengeance Sakura/桜/Cherry Blossom is somewhat her standard fleet ship, but it gets destroyed so often that it is more of a symbol than a flagship.

On the other hand, soon Odelya will have all leadership skills on V and the brand new Damnation class (no name yet), might become important to her.

And when it comes to represent, she likes everything that is black and Khanid. Yet, she likes the socialising part more. Uniforms and cocktails.

The Gentility, an Anathema that I've managed to keep alive for 8+ months now despite frequent trips through bubble camps and low/null sec.

It is her lucky hull.

Most of my ships don't live for long.
Although for one characters candidates for flagship would be revelation, archon and nightmare.
For another - archon and bhaalgorn.
Other my characters don't pvp, so they won't have flagships  :lol:
Most expensive of these are - revelation and bhaalgorn. But revelation is kinda throwaway ship.
So, I think I will choose two archons as flagships. Or maybe I will buy me a chimera and do chimera as a flagship and archon just a "combat logi that is a bit more expensive than guardian"  :P
Currently both archons have names "CSS Da Choppa:roll: I think I need to make a new name, more suitable for a flagship  :roll:

Vince's flagship is a pimp fit Machariel named Domination Appoloin.

Appoloin ( spelling may vary upon translation) is the angel of destruction. he guards the opening to the pit of Hell in judeo-christian mythology.
