[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The aft view of the Steamrunner seems to confirm what I suspected - the ship has a GIGANTIC shuttlebay, with a single superwide door. Perhaps this vessel is inherently vulnerable because it is analogous to an aircraft carrier? Large numbers of small craft and their fuel and ammo stacked inside, big cavities that compromise the structural integrity... I've long fantasized that this is a "Marine" ship, a planetary assault vessel of sorts - it's not supposed to stand its ground in space battle at all, but only to disgorge large numbers of troops. Like some current USN amphibious warfare ships, it's built to "commercial" instead of "military" standards to avoid unnecessary expenses. Its only major forte in space combat is that big phaser at the bow, seen firing into the spot designated by Picard - perhaps a limited-application planetary bombardment weapon? Do these ships have photon torpedo armament? That is, have they been shown firing torps? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
