Still would need to build an exceptionally strong structural system for the ship.

Indeed, as the main source of strain wouldn't come from underneath In Universe, but from the impulse engines. Not to mention the lack of a structural integrity field in real life.

Well I was talking about building a replica ship in real life even if does nothing but sit there.

Maybe Bill Gates and the King should collaborate together on this, as it would be exceptionally expensive.

Yes, as was I. :lol:


I still would rather build the Enterprise A if possible.


As to the structural issue, I don't know about the scale, but couldn't the bottom of the engineering hull be possibly big enough so that the curvature wouldn't matter as much?


[Obviously this would NOT be the Abramsverse Enterprise. :lol: ]

I'd be happy building a Defiant and be done with it.

I'd be more happy to buy a few f-14s from the US and use them as my personal jets. But that is just me.
