[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb]Still, for all we know, something like the superconvoys may in fact be at work in Trek. The transports we've seen are laughably small for hauling low-buck-per-pound bulk stuff such as "ore", which nevertheless is being hauled somehow. Few of the TNG or DS9 storylines would have touched upon the superconvoys, really.[/qb][/QUOTE]The problem with that is if you are hauling bulk you're going to haul it in the bulkiest way possible... thus the reason why supertankers haul oil instead of smaller vessels. It's economical. When you come up with this explanation you have to take that into account that such things should normally be hauled in the largest vessel possible. [/QB][/QUOTE]
