Hi there I’m writing a story of playing around the logistics of the biblical ark. A lot of the measurements and talk felt like it would be space ship, but I also think about megastructures such as the Death Star but it basically a star carrier. I’m curious of y’all take depending on size and resources would a Space Bibical Ark would be classified as Space Carrier or megastructures( artificial ecosystem)

But basically:
- You can print DNA. If you want to be effective you'll want data copies
- This applies even if you take along live animals
- The difference between megastructure and space ship isn't so much size as drive capacity. A megastructure just has steering thrusters whereas a ship (no matter how large) is designed to move itself
- If you wanted to do this purely with live animals you'll want to have several ships rather than one big one. For starters it lets you make sure invasive species are removed and don't randomly migrate (migrating inside a tin can with mild weather is far easier than migrating across long stretches of empty desert)
Ark Ship is a term that exists. I'd say go with that.
Feel free to ask further questions. I'm cooking a bunch of things in that general area myself.
