[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] I always viewed Runabouts (as well as the Delta Flyer) at the top end of the 'shuttle scale', as in contrast to saying that the Oberth Class is at the bottum of the 'starship scale'. Despite being partially independant, Runabouts/Delta Flyer is still limited much more so than the 'standard starship'. They are probably created in mass production, unlike starships and morelike shuttles; they are limited to low warp, such as some of shuttles (ie Type-12) are; they are relatively lightly armed, as Captain Keogh seemed to imply that they were a joke in any sort of battle; and ultimately the name "runabout" itself implies something that is just 'not quite', for a lack of a better word, [i]full scale[/i]. Classic Runabout: A small motorboat. A light aircraft. A small, open automobile or carriage Trek Runabout: A small, warp-capable vessel used for short-range missions. So, if anything they could be viewed as a 'hybrid' as we have seen some shuttles with similar capabilities as runabouts, and runabouts with similiar capabilities as starships.... [/QB][/QUOTE]
