[pp.int.general] Pirates In Space? [Was: Build the enterprise]

[Juan Irache]

This sounds awesome. It would be a nice stunt for engaging media attention
during an election campaign.

Is there an expected release date? If ready for the European elections, it
should not be difficult to join efforts and pay those $325 to play and
experiment for 3 days. But I reckon we should decide that now.

Is someone working on this?
