[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] In the tradition of "Hell, it might even be"... ...That Sisko was responsible for creating the Danubes himself. There is an amazing amount of customizing going on with starship auxiliaries - there are more mothership-specific designs than shared ones. The Danube could be a "pet project" out of hundreds or thousands of similar ones, something Sisko fancied doing, perhaps as a masterpiece during his apprenticeship. I'm not saying Sisko did all the work described in the DS9 TM by himself. I more suspect that he had the authority to order a "custom job", to a slightly greater degree than Picard had the authority to order customized bridges for his starships, or perhaps customized shuttles and land vehicles... And just like the Defiant, the Danube was a piece of work that was adequate for Sisko from the practical point of view, but very dear to him personally. Had Commander Benteen gotten the assignment, she would no doubt have ordered six Mount Kilauea class patrol boats instead of three Danube runabouts, with just as rational-sounding a request to Starfleet as the one Sisko submitted. Such personal indulgence would be perfectly within the realm of possible in the society of wealth Sisko and Picard live in. And in the best traditions of a no-money society, the brainchild of one man would be freely available to others as well, if they found the Danube to their liking. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
