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
 
i just asked a question.
 
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.
