You don't mean Gom'tu do you?
Both the feds and rommies were interested in this sentient ship.
Circa 5th season TNG.
On the other hands, the Dominion Shapeshifter Laars, (DS9 6-7 season) was capable of shifting into a ftl living organism/ship which was a we bit larger then a runabout.

No actually I was thinking of the first two episodes "Encounter at Farpoint" where the one alien was forced to become the starpart and its mate came in shape of a ship.Originally posted by SIR SIG

Though the Gom'tu is another example of what I was talking about.

And on the lighter side...
...there's the holoship idea from Red Dwarf.
The cream of Starfleet Command, hologrammized into something that's not much bigger than a photon torpedo, but heavily-shielded (and possibly armed) going around the cosmos looking down their noses at everyone.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Another idea/thought...
You could also make a ship out of nanites/nano-bots (if these things had replication ability, imagine a fight. The enemy: "We've struck their hull, and...WHAT THE..."
As for Transformers, I think I already posted that, but oh, well:

...and that's about the time it hit the fan...
Truisms I know:
1) Marvel is NOT better than DC (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘ULTIMITED’),
2) D20 is NOT the best gaming system out there (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘crammed’ into it),
3) And No matter how ‘THEY’ dress it up, Regardless of how ‘THEY’ title it, and even if ‘THEY’ say “BASED ON…”; “ENTERPRISE” IS NOT STAR TREK!!!
4) 'Reality' T.V. ain't 'Real'

Starfleet know ships with some transforming capabilities!!
As I´m right there was a German Book called "Die Kinder von Hamlin" there were Aliens with ships made of different size globes.
They escaped the Enterprise Tractorbeam by rearranging the globes!!
They were called Choraii!!

My German is a bit rusty - does that translate as "The Children of Hamlin"? If so, is it a Pied Piper reference? Sounds interesting...

Yes. It was released over here under that title, as the second or third TNG novel. It's been so long that I barely remember the plot, but kidnapped children were involved. I don't know whether it appeared here or in Germany first, though.Originally posted by Capt.Hunter
