[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] [Sorry folks, Sector Gamma will have to wait until my thesis is put to bed, some time next month. But in the meantime...] They're never gonna do it, but what if they did? The Defiant was always an experimental and extreme design, and despite the fact that she ended up doing just about everything a regular starship was supposed to do, she wasn't designed for it. But the Dominion threat the Defiant was assigned to face doesn't exist anymore, or at least it is no longer a priority. So, let's say that Starfleet wants to replace the Defiant with a ship more suited to a modified pre-Dominion mission parameter for the station - that is, local sector defense, troubleshooting, and exploration duties. What ship would you assign to DS9? And why? It would have to be small and relatively short-range, have a relatively small crew, but probably mount a larger capacity for science and exploration duties. In terms of firepower, it probably would not be as much a priority, or at least any more than it would be for standard Federation missions. Non-canon designs can apply, if you can link to a design online or otherwise provide specs for it. Thoughts? Or do you think the Defiant-class is as ideally suited to DS9 as the writers of the show would have you think? Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
