[QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [QB] To have an entire fleet of Defiant class ships even for war makes the fleet horribly out of balance. For a full fledge war like the Dominion war, you need troop transports, flagships, supply ships, escorts, smaller ships for less noteworhty duties. The Defiant is overpowered to be a mere escort for a few freighters that's on the other side of the Galaxy. I can understand where most would get the idea to have a really large fleet of Defiants. I once figured out that a perfect fleet (single fleet like the 9th fleet) would have been a few lagre ships like the Galaxy class, a single flagship type like the Sovereign, with escorts surrounding theose large ships, like the Defiant class, and possibly the Miranda class. Here's an example: 1 Sovereign (Lead ship, in the center of the fleet) 9 Galaxy class (Surrounding the Sovereign class, also flagships for 9 smaller fleets within the main fleet) 36 Akira class (4 per Galaxy wing) 180 Defiant class (10 per Galaxy wing) 270 Sabre class (15 per Galaxy wing) Tagging along in the back somwhere would be a mass of secondary ships composed of transports, freighters, science ships to support the main fleet. Possibly even a carrier or two for fighter support. Just an example. When you look at the DS9 battles, there's no real formation except that the largest ships would be in the center. I'm sure there is, but the real world answer is basically the SFX guys have no clue what they're doing in fleet formations. I'll admit neither do I, but I am basing it all off the US Navy fleet formations. All based around the carriers. [/QB][/QUOTE]
