[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [qb]The Defiant could explore in the sense of making first contact with potentially dangerous civilizations. [/qb][/QUOTE]You would send very small, over-gunned, under-manned, under-equipped, somewhat slow, short-ranged vessel to make first contact with "potentially" dangerous civilizations? :o Going back a bit, I've given some thoughts about the Defiant's speed being limited by her SIF. If O'Brian had to take power from the phasers to boost the SIF, doesn't it mean that she's already devoting most of her power to simply maintaining warp 9.5? She's over powered for her size, but no one said she had all the power she could ever use. Besides, most ships her size probably can't get up to the 9.5 range. The Defiant's a good ship, but she has her weaknesses. For one thing, she doesn't do well against ships that can get behind her and stay there. No one in their right mind would send a Fleet composed of a single class of ships against the Borg. The Borg would just adapt to one ship/the whole Fleet, and wipe everyone out. Diversity is one of the keys to defeating the Borg. The Intrepid project has already progressed for a number of years before Wolf 359. The Sovereign was designed and laid down simply to fight the Borg. [/QB][/QUOTE]
