Revive the 130th

Revive the USNDF

Build a 1:1 scale USS Enterprise from the most recient film (note it is like x1.5 larger than Enterprise-A)

The abramsverse Enterprise was only enlarged after the computer model was made and Abrams changed the sizing to make it seem "grander". If you base it's size using points of reference on the hull (not including the visual evidence of the shuttle bay at the beginning where it would be larger than stated) with your references being viewports on the hull, the new Enterprise comes out at about the same size as the prime Constitution class refit, a little longer at 366m based on info from the modelers at ILM. If you do accept the notion that the new version is in fact larger, then you must deal with explaining why there are viewports only on every other deck, and why there aren't viewports in quantities similar to the Galaxy class. The films are good don't get me wrong, but there are things we must ignore from the people who made it, just like I ignore the events of Star Trek V, which is little more than fan fiction from Shatner.

Some of the information comes from http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org and http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Portal:Main the rest is from my own observations.

Also an interesting side note is that if we were to take Abrams scale info at face value, the USS Vengeance would be roughly a mile long, a size that seems bot ridiculous for 23rd century federation tech to produce, and too big to cover up, someone's going to notice the massive pulling of resources and manpower to build such an over the top vessel. Though if we use the original size of the Enterprise, Vengeance comes in at the size of a Galaxy of Sovereign class (ironic since I saw the desk model as looking like an evil Sovereign or Excelsior class) which is slightly more reasonable.

On to the WYR

1. I would revive the 130th to distract Prometheus allowing the AIF time to recover.

WYR:

A. Play a BSCN based RTS game

B. Play a Wot based game of chess (not sure how that would work)

C. Play Dungeons n Dragons using RP characters from this wiki.
