Well, the "better than anything in space" aspect (and if you look at the stats, the Prommie has the same offense and shields as the Sovereign... just much less chance to survive anything that does get through and absorb casualties) would pretty assuredly be lost - it's about having something with a matching outline, still doing the three-in-one-thing, and fitting actual useable space in wherever you can manage it to get some kind of use out of the thing, and most likely is 'wave over sanded and primed wood, or even a wood frame with a canvas skin. That WOULD also make it DAMN light and hence possibly have a chance at preserving the title of fastest thing its size in space, but also means it's very fragile indeed unless they can get one of Mr. Morden's force field units - and I expect that very thing would be a goal near and dear to their hearts. Mainly, thouhg, what I need is an AI that Wave Convoy had an excuse to meet just about as soon as he went into space, and I already put him in contct with the Trekkies. AIs are not generally a Trek thing up until then, but there was one in the TOS novels (The ones with Harb Tanzer as the Rec Deck chief - either Diane Carey or Diane Duane wrote them) who was pretty cool, and I intend to base the one I need on my semidistant memories of her.SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
