A seperable last ditch missle. It's loaded with warheads and does have a control room and small impulse drive (probably a one shot type of thing).<P>Remember in First Contact? Worf aboard the Defiant tells the conn officer to prepare to ram the ship into the cube. Now, it's true that Riker almost did the same thing with the E-D, but a war head in this location of the Defiant would make a kamikazee attack particularly effective. If the ship's engines are disabled, you shoot the thing off and use an impulse pulse to fire it into the cube (The Defiant was designed to fight the Borg).<P>------------------<BR>"You don't tug on Superman's cape.<BR> You don't spit into the wind.<BR> You don't pull the mask off the ole' Lone Ranger<BR> And you don't mess around with Jim."<BR>Aban's Illustration <A HREF="http://www.alanfore.com" TARGET=_blank>www.alanfore.com<BR></A> <P> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Dax</b> <br /><small>Member # 191</small> </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(2001,1,3,3,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">February 03, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">03:50 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> One significant problem is that the "warhead" impulse engines would be floating in outer space if they're where the DS9TM depicts them to be.
