[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] I'm of the opinion that the Defiant, cloak and all, wouldn't have fared any better had it been int he same position as the Odyssey. This is proven in "The Search", where three attack ships handily trounced the Defiant while losing only one ship. Had they not been there to capture the crew, they could have easily destroyed her - it was clear that the Defiant was dead in space even before the Jem'Hadar beamed aboard. After a battle in which the Odyssey was bashed about for an arguably longer amount of time (discounting the runabouts, which were pretty useless anyway), she was still intact and reparable to the point of being able to get away. She may not have been able to fight back, but as we saw later on in the series that wasn't so much of an issue anymore. If I'm going to go tooling around unexplored space, I'm not going to go in a Defiant. The Galaxy is still handily capable of exploring space. A Defiant may have more advanced (but not necessarily superior) firepower, and the Sovereign may have hefty amounts of both, but on the whole when you need to explore space you need scientists, diplomats, explorers and the like - something a Galaxy can support far more than either of the other classes can. Exploration isn't done at the point of a spear! But this is something to be discussed over in the tech forum, no? Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
