[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] I dunno about that. Typically on Star Trek, whether a ship is more or less powerful than the main starship is almost always dependent on whether the ship is larger or smaller than the main starship. Ever notice that nearly ALL the guest ships voyager encountered were smaller than her, and she could kick the snot out of nearly all of them? Then there are races like the Borg, the Voth, the Krenim, etc. Guess what - their ships are as large or larger than Voyager! Exceptions include the Timeship Aeon and Species 8472, but that's generally for dramatic effect. Of course, this is normalized by the dramatic effect of similar-sized ships duking it out. In Trek, almost every time one ship is about to blow another to pieces, we see it in a "higher" posititon relative to the doomed vessel. This is usually done to make the winning ship look bigger and dramatically more plausible than the other one. Where am I going with this? Well, the Vulcans are GOOD guys, and thus by the rule of Trek they *have* to make the Pre-E look better. Ergo, they have to be smaller than her. I guess we'll see in a couple weeks...
