You mean with today's technology or if can ever be done?

With today's tech...
We lack the physics for making warp drive, as well as gravity control. We have yet to make large quantities of antimatter, as well as a means to store it.
The closest thing we have to phasers are, of course, lasers. The closest we have to photon torpedoes (which use antimatter as well) are nuclear warheads.
We don't even know how we'd achieve the use of a transporter.

If the Enterprise is really built, it may be similar to what we see on screen, with some exceptions:
No central computer core. Even today's tech is getting away from that. Computers will become much smaller. We may even surpass what we see in 'Star Trek'.
As discussed in this thread, the main bridge will most likely be in the center of the saucer section, where the auxillery bridge is depicted in the series. This is mostly for proctection in case of hostile action. It's also safer in terms of space hazards, like radiation, meteoroids, ect.

All I can think of for now on this.

I noticed on the Enterprise A diagram in the technical manual that there is a fundamentally flawed design in the cutaway of the ship. For instance, in the following diagram:



The highlight section indicates where the turbolift is located. But you'll also see that the warp core is in between the path of the turboshaft and the secondary hull. The problem is, there is no way for crew members to go to engineering or anywhere in the secondary hull because the warp core blocks the path of the turbolift.

Now, in the next diagram, I scaled down the warp core and provided a path for the turbolift to have access to the secondary hull in the following diagram:



Am I the only one who noticed that there is an error in the initial design of the Enterprise cutaway?

we cant access those pictures, please upload them to a file host like photobucket please.

Okay, try them now:



Let me know if you're still having trouble seeing the links.

dude you cant link files on your hardrive to the forums. go to www.photobucket.com make an account and then upload the pictures. from there browse the new "album" you made and post the urls to the pictures.

Hey, thanks for your recommendation! I didn't know about photobucket until now, its cool. Okay, are are the links:

How do we know that the shaft isn't side-by-side the intermix core? Hard to tell with the given viewpoint, you know.
