[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Just coming into this thread in the middle... quite literally I started reading and am posting my reply at the end of the second page... 1. D'Deridex and type A/B Warbirds. I've been giving this explanation for a long time - and it sorta fits so here tis again... The D'Deridex is the 'smaller' of the two types of Warbird as dubbed the 'B-type'. I believe this to be the most common type of Warbird we see through the rest of TNG. The A-type, I reckon is the much bigger (almost twice the size?) Warbird from "The Neutral Zone". It would make sense to send the biggest ship they've got to investigate a threat that could 'scoop' their bases out of the ground. Also it would be PERFECT for meeting the Federation again after so many years of isolation. I feel there aren't many - maybe only 1 or 2 of these big babies. The rest of the time we have seen type B's... i.e. in Tin Man when we get a very nice size comparison between the E-D and the warbirds. Also reguarding the Romulans in Message in a Bottle, I've always felt that the Romulans shouldn't have been the 'force' behind the capture of the Prometheus. I feel it would have made much more sense for Rogue Ferengi - or just Ferengi... to be stealing the ship. (It wouldn't have been their first time). It would have made much more sense - the Doctor's "I don't care attitude" towards the healing of the injured patient. The fact that the ship was being stolen and there were no 'repercussions'. That the enemy ship was destroyed (relatively easy). Also that it would have been nice to see some Marauders doing some nasty work - seeing as they are nearly as powerful as a Galaxy class... and this sort of 'picking off starships' is more of a Ferengi thing - than full scale attack. ALSO the Ferengi would have used such a ship to strip it down and sell of its secrets for a great profit. ANNNDDDDD that the whole paranoia thing with the Captain would have worked better coming from a Ferengi - especially one pulling of such a dangerous thing as stealing a Fed starship... [/QB][/QUOTE]
