"There's always one more bug"

#2 I had assumed the next generation ship would be basiclly disposable. Make it of plastic, low in the water, with a minimal crew that are expected to evacaute rather than worry about damage control. Load it up with missiles and build an awful lot of them.

At some point such a ship could even become unmanned.
