[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] I have no idea why anyone thinks the Peregrine is the only type of fighter ever devised by Starfleet. I'm sure they have shuttle size or smaller fightercraft, but the nature of most starship wars just dont necessitate their use. Now if you were invovled in a ground war or planetary bombardment.... Looking outside of canon for a moment: The 1701 shuttlebay had many unidentifiable shuttle type vehicles in TAS that could have been some type of fighters Kirk could scramble if he needed to. "Dreadnought" depicted rather small one and two person Arco-class and Tycho-class attack sleds. The newer video games feature the Valkyrie fighter. None of these vessels have standing room so they are likely to be about half the height of a shuttle and they lack warp drives, which eliminates the engine size of a shuttle and makes them fairly easy to store i assume. These are the kind of craft i belive a Starfleet carrier would bring. Kind of the difference between a long range bomber and a small fighter in our current military. Bombing runs can be launched from our territory, do their business and return home. Fighters are carried to the location because they have a shorter range. [/QB][/QUOTE]
