It appears that most of us preferred to take the Overlord.
In order to take it, first, the Dynasty Path.

Executive Summary For her class, average speed, a bit harder to manoeuver, but still manageable, and once we'll have money to get Augmented Retrothrusters, she'll sail as swiftly as a frigate.We can try navigate more easily in dangerous part of space, we can do some stealth, and go through faster than average through the Warp. And it is comparatively safer there for us.
We have a very tough ship, with ship-of-the-line firepower. With Prow+dorsal, we can reinforce either side if needed, or get an equivalent to a full broadside volley on front. We have some aircraft to cover our stern, and help us explore/conquer worlds as well.
She can help us for any kind of endeavour. It is a War ship, no lie, but we can trade, we can convert heathen and chart the unknown. We have room to upgrade the ship as our dynasty grow.
I do consider my job done
we must still choose the name , we've got two among the list I've proposed left, so those who didn't said anything about it, pray tell which one you prefer.
I do agree with Ship roles : of course, in that case, I'll be the Navis Primaris/Warp Guide.
EDITED : launch bays contents corrected.
