I'm working on cleaning up a design idea to make it buildable. It's kind of Star Trek-ish, with some ideas shamelessly stolen from a couple of neil_w's designs.
Here's the starting point:
There's a lot of things that need work before building it, but first thing's first, it needs a name.
I'm thinking this is a small to medium sized research ship, testing out experimental propulsion technology. The kind of ship that suddenly goes radio silent at the beginning of the episode and is later found adrift with the crew dead and a mysterious portal to the Dimension of Evil in the engineering section.
I'm toying with mythological names, like Prometheus.
Does the Trek universe have a precedent for naming experimental craft (e.g. XSS Whatever instead of USS Whatever)?
