[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] Frank: "Show me a scene where the Defiant isn't 120m, or that the 170m length has ever been used by anyone on the show." I'm still looking for that pic where the runabout is tractored by the Defiant, and the Defiant is 7 times as long as the runabout in front of it. I also have the impression that the Defiant is about the length of the Miranda main body in SofA. I'm not so fond about the Defiant comparison anyway, so I might reconsider or replace it sooner or later. "Well, if the Akira is a warship, it might have smaller decks." I disagree. Firstly, we can't know if the Akira was really supposed to be a "warship", this would make the Defiant much less radical and also much less powerful than always stated. I think the Akira is a normal explorationcruiserthing with unusually strong armament. Even if the Akira is a warship, who tells us the decks have to be less than 3.5m? There has never been such a ship, and the 120m Defiant (warship) has even decks of 4m or so. I will include your argument to the page, though (I already wanted, but just forgot it). "But, we have no reason to think that either the escape pods or the bridges are similar (although realistically the Akira bridge should be about the same size as the Sovereign's, if not smaller)." The escape pods are an additional hint pointing to 440m, I wouldn't exclude they are actually of different sizes. I can imagine a larger bridge module was chosen for the Akira for aesthetical reasons. The ship has much more pronounced components than other designs, and the large bridge counterpoises the catamaran hulls. [/QB][/QUOTE]
