[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Yeah...I forgot it on purpose! Fuck that little useless thing (what the hell is it anyway?!?) ;) Mabye that was supposed to serve as a deflector or something on the original? It makes the ship look dippy from the sides. [QUOTE]The idea of the Freedom being a transport or passenger liner seems highly unlikely, because of the miniscule internal volume. The saucer is practically all the ship's got for all the equipment and quarters, and everything else. [/QUOTE]I'm going with the ship being 430 meters in length, so it would be plenty big enough for all of that, while still being relatively small by TNG/DS9 standards. [QUOTE] I think I like the "Coast Guard" option the best. Although it's definitely part of the regular Starfleet, the Freedom could still be a kind of ship meant for local patrol. Of course, in this case "local patrol" means close to Sector 001, and if those are the ships intended to guard Earth, then it's no wonder that aliens like to paint a big bulls-eye on it every few years. These ships could operate in two or three ship groups in a sector for fast response to threats and even a Warbird would be pressed to take on three opponents at once. [/QUOTE]"Local patrol" could be any disputed system or area where pirate raids or interspecies disputes might occur as well as patrolling the ever boring Romulan Neutral Zone. ;) I also dig these as a better armed alternative to the Oberth "floating target" class of starship for follow-up science missions that the big explorers (Galaxy, Soverign, Nebula) don't hae time to stay for months at a time and conduct.
