hi, i just got galactic civilizations ii yesterday and have played a couple of games, but I am wondering if it is possible to designate a different ship as your flagship, since i decomissioned mine.

Nope, you only get the one and there is no way to designate another.

The only real option is to build a ship and name it as a flagship, but it just won't be the same.

Does the flagship have any specific purpose, excepting the psycho-drama of being your first ship ?

It has capabilities that you may not have until you research certain techs, like the survey module.

Some of the anomolies give bonuses to the ship that finds it, so you can upgrade it later to a better designed ship of the Medium category and take better advantage of those bonuses.

Other than that, I don't think so.

And of course, the 'psycho-drama' of your first ship, which is suspiciously similar to the Enterprise - Star Trek's flagship.

The flagship is just a survey ship named 'Flagship'--after you advance your technology, you'll be able to build new survey ships (or better, and sooner, just research Sensors I and design your own with the survey module).

You can name any ship you like 'Flagship' though, as that name on your starting survey ship doesn't give it any special status. It's just a name.
