[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Cardassian page: The ship that premiered as the rather puny Pakled vessel was seen in Cardassian hands in "The Wounded". There, it was a far larger freighter, perhaps 300-400m long. The model also made an appearance in that size range in DS9, as a Rigelian freighter in "Vortex". Since the model was a regular "guest ship" throughout TNG, the Cardassians could have purchased it from the wide interstellar market. However, it's IMHO good to note that the triangular shape is VERY remniscent of the other two triangle ships seen in Cardassian hands, and in that same tan coloration. Perhaps the triangular design motif is native to Cardassians? Bajorans would probably have access to the two triangle-ship types only because the Cardassians left some behind after the occupation, and the Bajoran design style would be closer to the graceful winged interceptors... As for the cargo holds in the "spiny" freighter being separable pods, they sure didn't look like that from inside in "Return to Grace". I'd love to see a "container ship" fly with an empty container berth or two even once, or with differently colored containers or something... (The DY-100 does seem to lack the top two or three containers, but then again, that ship is never seen with a full set!) And re: the shuttle/ship in "Profit and Loss". I seem to remember it docked on the ring, not on the pylons. It was the Hideki model, in its first appearance ever, and the scale vs. DS9 suggested there was roughly commensurate with the big military Hidekis that later were seen attacking the station. One shouldn't forget a reference to a "Cardassian frigate" in VOY (I think "Dreadnought" was the episode, but I'll check). Is that the Hideki, or an unseen type? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
