The attack fighters from SofA, which we're now assuming are Peregrines were definately warp capable, and were keeping up with the fleet just fine. However, in "Heart of Stone", the only time the name Peregrine appeared, it was called an "Interceptor" and was ran down quite easily by a Runabout, despite it having modified engines. Interceptors by definition are fast ships as well. IMHO the Peregrine is a fast ship, maybe not up on a par with the two weeks @ 9.9 bit, but for some reason in HoS it was severely slowed by a malfunction in the Plot Device Drive.<P>------------------<BR>"......"<br>�������������-The Breen at Internment Camp 371<p><p><p> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>The359</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,3,16,20,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 16, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:57 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I remember them saying Courier when they described the Peregrine, of course, this was about 4 months ago, but I remember it because it was the only mention of Peregrine.
