The Prometheus was the one that could split into three linked ships, wasn't it? If you can justify three ships (which shouldn't be hard, says the guy who justified an entire space station), you can justify the Prometheus. I believe it was designed to be better than anything else in the fleet, including the old Reliant class...
As for the holograph, as long as he or she can't leave the ship, I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just a special effect of "the ship's computer is everywhere in the computer", after all. (Yes, I know Noah has autonomous AIs. But that's my character's "special", much like coilguns are Katz' "special" and the spindizzy is Bob's "special".)
