[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] The Defiant is about the same size as a Miranda-class vessel. Hahahahahahahaha! Oh, that's good! Hee hee! Wow, I haven't had such a good laugh in months! Oh, my. Do you REALLY think that the Defiant has the same amount of deckspace as a Miranda? If you do, then I seriously suggest a review of the general deckplans of both, regardless of their canonicity. The Miranda clearly has at least four if not five times as much volume as a Defiant does. The length of the Miranda is 277.76m and the beam is 173.98m according to the DS9:TM. The length of the Defiant according to the same source is 170.68m. The Miranda is about 11 decks thick whereas the Defiant is 4 decks thick. And the fourth deck of the Defiant holds almost nothing. In a Miranda, according to the interpretations I've seen, almost all of the space given is occupied by something. Now, the Defiant fits 150 people maximum. It's standard complement is 40. I understand that it's small enough to require relatively few people to run it. So, if the standard complement of a Defiant-class starship, one of the most modern and AUTOMATED starships in creation, is 40 people, and it is five times as small as a Miranda, then according to our extremely imprecise calculations, a Miranda should be staffed by about 200 crew. This is relatively close to the 220 that is accepted as the full complement. [/QB][/QUOTE]
