[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] I thought I'd look over these pages also while we're at it, for the sake of completeness. Hope you don't mind! Danube Their maximum speed is given as Warp 4.7 in the DS9 bible, supported by an exchange in "Dax" where Kira is specifically asked to search for ships faster than runabouts, and replies by listing ships that meet or exceed Warp 5. The only contradiction is Jake's "warp eight" order in "The Jem'Hadar", which we didn't see executed because he lacked proper authorizations. If runabouts could do Warp 8 from the planet to the wormhole, why not for the short time it would take to catch Dax's kidnappers? Why not worry about ships capable of Warp 9 or more? Defiant Why didn't the Defiant land onscreen? Ron D. Moore: "The Defiant can land?" <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" /> The poster who mentioned this to him quoted Captain's Chair. Ron then questioned that source, not knowing that the Captain's Chair actually has the canon cutaway. That's one reason why the Defiant didn't land onscreen, there may be others. The crew complement was alternately given as 47 ("The Adversary"), 49 ("Children of Time"), 50 ("Paradise Lost"). The bible also gives a crew of fifty, so I'd accept this number as the theoretical crew size. I'm sure the Defiant can reach Warp 9.8 (DS9 bible) for very short periods, though you'd have to reroute energy from the weapons to achieve even Warp 9.5 (as mentioned in "The Sound of Her Voice"). The regular maximum speed is only Warp 9 according to the episode -- I'd use this number. Excelsior There is the third variant from "Star Trek VI" which has a smaller bridge (to account for the reused Ent-A bridge instead of the original sets from Star Trek III), two impulse deflection crystals and an extra row of windows in the aft shuttlebay area. It was recreated as a smaller model by Greg Jein for "Flashback", and almost certainly used as reference for the CGI model now in use by Foundation and Eden. No differences are visible in a side view, though. Intrepid The standard complement quoted by Rick Sternbach is 150. Voyager started out with 141 before they added on the Maquis and lost some crew due to Caretaker. Miranda The registry of the Majestic is actually NCC-31060, as seen in the text of "Starship Spotter" and also the CGI model shown there. Nebula In "Second Sight", O'Brien modifies the Prometheus' engines so they can do "Warp 9.6 in a pinch, but I wouldn't take it any faster". Dax says she thought the theoretical maximum was Warp 9.5. O'Brien: "It was." This dialogue is certainly in the episode, and I'd set the Nebula's maximum speed to Warp 9.5, the theoretical limit. Also, in "Interface" (TNG), we learn that there were 300 people aboard the Hera. Prometheus Its length is exactly, not approximately, 1360 feet or 414.528m. There are 16 decks. Both pieces of info come from Rick's blueprints -- he posted the numbers on startrek.expertforum.ricksternbach. The size was confirmed in a rare view in the Magazine of Eden FX's bookleet that keeps track of ship lengths -- unfortunately, no other numbers were visible. It's maximum speed is also given in the episode as Warp 9.99. Yellowstone Seems to be same length (23.1m) as the regular runabouts, if nothing else. Chakotay's raider David Stipes mentioned in an old Voyager or TNG magazine article (don't have the exact name but I did see it) that the raider was 1/5th the length of Voyager. However, the interior sets are those of a runabout and can be matched with the exterior model. In this case, I got a size of only 40m or so. Have you tried this? [/QB][/QUOTE]
