[QUOTE]Originally posted by Toadkiller: [QB] "Toadkiller: the warhead wasn't designed for ramming. It detaches from the main body with several torpedoes inside, and is only to be used in an emergency." Begs the question why Worf didn't use it thus in First Contact though, huh? I would assume that he'd not care about the production costs for the filmmakers! :) :) If that is what it is for then it must render the ship less capable in some way or it would be used right away, while you still could. Also - is that in some way more dangerous than simply firing the torps normally? If it just a chunk-o-antimatter in the front, then you'd best fire that puppy right away before the bad guy shoots it. It would have made more sense to have it be an escape pod allowing you to "fire" the rest of the ship into the cube and still get away. Maybe it can easily be filled with anti-matter if you get to the point that you need to use it - sort of the fire ship idea. "The Defiant could explore in the sense of making first contact with potentially dangerous civilizations." Not a very Star Trek/UFP approach however to conduct diplomatic meetings with custom built warships. Picard would never approve.... What I was going for in my first point was that if I were making an anti-Borg ship long term use would not be a primary concern of mine as I would figure that it/they would either all be assimilated or we would succeed and we'd have to come up with a new idea anyhow to fend off the next wave. I don't think "winning" was the design objective - just survival. [/QB][/QUOTE]
