[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] If the interceptor-thing is 15 meters long and carries a crew of two shoulder-to-shoulder, then it makes even less sense to call her a "courier" than it did when she was 30+ meters long. Sure, a courier could be a tiny craft designed to carry coded isolinear chips in a fist-sized neutronium safe. But it would be much more satisfactory to assign the courier designation to a vessel that could plausibly carry bulkier priority shipments, VIP passengers and the like. The lower size range would be the craft flown by Lieutenant Ro in "Preemptive Strike" - with a roomy multicompartment cabin redressed from the TNG "alien shuttle" set. In fact, this design would be a perfect choice for the Peregrine class, since she looks as if she could be flown solo, could land on class M planets, and is a known Maquis vehicle that looks like ex-Starfleet hardware (by virtue of looking like the Ju'day, which has Starfleetish interiors). Of course, Bernd is going to have a fit if I insist that she's smaller than the Ju'day class despite sharing most of the hull shape. Still, the window-matching trick would support this two-size theory, even though the VFX is so ambiguous that no size difference can be inferred from there. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
