[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] I'd still prefer the Redneck Prometheus . . . Just take a Saber and hook two more behind it in a train via tow straps. As for what possible value the ship could have, given the aforementioned tripling that would make the total ship a hopelessly massive mess compared to a single-vessel design, I think great warp speed or endurance would have to be the assumption . . . as also suggested in the episode. Much as Intrepids were built as troubleshooters with speed and combat performance in mind, this would presumably be the next level . . . a rapid-response ship that could also be a fleet unto itself. The name gives no real clues. Prometheus is known for creating man, stealing fire to give to him, and then eternal torment by an eagle while chained to a rock. Unless the ship was built for odd heists or going against eagles, I get nothing. On the other hand, there is another reference to Greek that Voyager is known for . . . Omega. Starfleet's experiments were in the 23rd Century, IIRC, so any one section would likely be a match for such ships in speed and armament, while getting onsite quickly enough . . . per Janeway, the directive specified that there would be a special team sent under normal circumstances. Certainly a vessel like Prometheus would be useful. But, that's a helluva stretch, connection-wise. [/QB][/QUOTE]
