   Not to mention the propulsion systems, namely the impulse subsystem.  You   
   still must deal with inertia in space and with the mass of a 3km ship behind   
   you impulse movements, unless the impulse deck is absolutely massive with   
   outputs we have not quite seen in Star Trek canon, will be lackadaisical to   
   say the least.  I do not believe the thrusters as sized adequately for the   
   mass.
