The best ship for never undocking.

So I'm just about done grinding standings, and am ready to forever plant my butt in a station from which to manipulate the galaxy through financial power.

I'm wondering what ship other traders have to sit forever in station with. Last time I used a gallente shuttle because I liked the look and price. I guess a truly committed trader would use a rookie ship, but I splurged a little and went with the shuttle.

Considering it's what you stare at for the short periods you are actually tabbed into the eve client, what ship do you dock with?

I switch between a Gurista's shuttle & a Zephyr, was thinking of buying a Saram Magnate tho for kicks. Somtimes im in my captains quarters, at the end looking at my ship, Zephyr looks good from there. Bear

also have my Trusty Cargo Magnate on standby incase i buy some crap from a different station to 4-4 :)

I used to sit on a Providence I undocked maybe once per week now I finally got rid of it and sit on a Prorator I think I undocked a whole 10 times.

With this character I never left my Ibis, not a single time. And my only space travel was to Jita. One ship to rule them all.

The Succubus is my favourite hanger ship. I actually undock it every few months to set up regional orders.

Any colour you like.

Any of the Amarr ships made of pure gold will do, and most traders report they are sitting on an unused personal freighter, so a Providence is fine.

For the ultimate market pvp status symbol, though, I recommend the Ark, a jump freighter design that combines both a golden hull and the dried blood of your victims.

(I admit I am not yet confined to station, and have been flying around in a Rifter.)
