Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the design of an ideal starship, specifically referencing the NX-01 from Star Trek. Participants concluded that a cruiser of similar size and complexity could be feasible, but highlighted significant challenges regarding gravity generation, warp drive, impulse drive, and transporter technology. The conversation also touches on the differences between this forum and others, emphasizing the unique perspectives of its members.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of starship design principles
  • Familiarity with warp drive and impulse drive concepts
  • Knowledge of gravity generation technologies
  • Awareness of transporter mechanics in science fiction
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced propulsion systems for spacecraft
  • Explore theoretical models of artificial gravity generation
  • Study the physics behind warp drive technology
  • Investigate the feasibility of teleportation and transporter technology
USEFUL FOR

Science fiction enthusiasts, aerospace engineers, and anyone interested in theoretical starship design and propulsion technologies.

If you could build a starship here and now what would it look like, what would drive it, and would it have gravity yes/no?

There was a http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5017 about this on SFN a while back.

what is your point?
 
I want to hear the opinions members of this site have.
 
what is the difference between members of this site and members of SFN. many are members of both.
 
Why are we arguing (I am) about this?
 
i don't know why you are arguing about it.
 
it feels like an argument to me

Science Forum??

Dang y'all. Like I needed ANOTHER science forum on my daily list... I'm never going to get any work done...

it was a pretty cool thread, iirc. we found out how different systems would work. we determined that a cruiser the size and complexity of the NX-01 would be possible with the notable exceptions of gravity, warp and impulse drives, and transporter.
