[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dax: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [qb]Dax: That's assuming that the size relationships you mention are correct. Given the fact that the Defiant can even change shape, how do I know that even the structural details have been portrayed correctly?[/qb][/QUOTE]But surely we can accept the structure of the physical studio miniature as the baseline.[qb] [QUOTE]I could just as well assume that the Ent-E/Defiant, Runabout/Defiant or the Galor/Defiant size comparisons are correct likewise, yielding a 60m-90m Defiant. Is there anything to swing me over to the other end other than the intentions?[/qb][/QUOTE]Agreed. No argument here.[qb] [QUOTE]The range of uncertainty in the visuals is simply too great for any definite conclusions. The interior graphics, on the other hand, are fairly definite on the subject AND a source that has to be accurate within the portrayed reality of the story. We really don't know what goes on between the camera and the various fields surrounding the ship.[/qb][/QUOTE]But the interior detail isn't consistent either. We still have anomalies such as the turbolift Okudagram, Sisko firing down a long vertical Jefferies tube in "Adversary", the [i]three[/i] separate accounts of Deck 5, and your own suggestion that engineering is lower than deck 2.[qb] [QUOTE]Of course, we'll never know 100% sure -- I'm just trying to find out what's most likely to be correct based on what an observant viewer lacking any behind-the-scenes info would know.[/qb][/QUOTE]The problem is that we're too close to the subject and know too much to be objective (IMO). I honestly don't think the Defiant size argument will ever be satisfactorily resolved unless a future movie specifically mentions the length (like the "nearly 700m long" of FC). [/QB][/QUOTE]
