building the enterprise is a nice idea, but unfortunately with have no warp drives.. and transporter tech sucks too<br>
<br>
what about building some big octaedron in space, about the size of the pyramids? each one in every lagrange point of moon orbit? sound like a similar project :D<br>

The Miranda class indeed sounds like a better candidate :) While it is<br>
smaller, it could also serve as a testbed for the eventual enterprise.<br>
<br>
I'll contact the site and ask them to see if it's possible to look into<br>
the Miranda class.<br>

I did consider the Phoenix and if the BTE project had a warp (or even<br>
jump) drive I would probably agree. A Miranda class would allow many<br>
of the design conceptualizations at<br>
