[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] Nope, nope. The DS9 show is about a station with support vehicles, initially runabouts, then replaced by the Defiant because you couldn't do action scenes in them, and because they needed the ship to fight the Dominion. Even if the Defiant were as important as the DS9 station, I'll compare it to Enterprise only if you can show me that Braga's budget sank to the DS9 level. DS9 was the forgotten child -- Voyager was always the major show that was more important to the network. If it could have well-designed, original *ships of the week*, the new Braga show shouldn't have sunk to the level of modifying the Akira for its lead ship. The Defiant ended up the way it did because Rick Sternbach was busy designing Voyager. That's almost certain -- he's one of the very few people who can draw blueprints, and the only person who knows exactly what goes into a starship. Had he but a little time to take Jim Martin's sketches, refine the details and draw the blueprints, we would've never argued about its size and layout. I assume he would've fixed up the Enterprise as well if he were working there, but maybe the producers spent too much money on new sets and uniforms and couldn't afford a good ship design.
