Why become an Android when you can become a gigantic spaceship?

Brings visions of Moya from Farascape. Always thought that would be an interesting to be a living ship, having other creatures walking around inside you (and doing other things).

Matter of fact, if you are able to gradually replace each tiny part of your brain for a robotic one (so you don't lose your "self" in the process), then there's no limits. From an Android to a spaceship, with enough time and resources you could eventually become a whole planetary computer like those in Stellaris.

Can't even imagine what that level of conscious awareness would include with such a cognitive expansion.
