I was also talking design. Space is a 3D plus time enviroment and the Star Destroyer is designed to function in that type setting. Even if you scale it down to more realistic sizes its design concepts are superior to the enterprise or the other offered designs.

perhaps the only design that would be superior would be a cone like ship.

1- You can design it to focus 75% of its fire in any one direction and 100% forward and rear- you can' flank it or cross it's T

2- You can hide the vitals in the widest part of the vessel so that the ships spaces act like baffles and the cone lends it self to thrust gravity becuase you can stack the decks so that the narrowest part of the cone is up for the crew.

3- You can roll the hull to rotate in fresh armor/hull and weapons towards the enemies bearing.
