OMG. that is crazy! is that even canon? very silly, but i like the design of it.
i would argue for the emperor to have some sort of special star destroyer, just to add variety, he has the royal guard, why not a royal destroyer? makes sense though as you pointed out to begin the concepts with what we already have. when vader flies in at the start, he could fly through the drydock when the star destroyers are there, to ready establish the scale, in order to reach the smaller dock which we see him in
No need really. The difference between Darth Vader and the Emperor is that Darth Vader is a Thug, he is imponent and with a phisical powerful look. The great design of the emperor is that he looks weak and old, he is imponent because of his mind and his power as a political figure.
The Emperor doesnt need a Star Destroyer, he can go around with a shuttle and everytime he goes to a place EVERYONE gets mobilized. Im looking more for the dramatic symbolic effect more than what would actually make sense in an empire.
