[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] Defiant vibe: Yes Warp Leftovers: Doubt it Judging by the looks of her, there isn't really that much ship involved, per se. Sure, there's the four or five deck tall spine structure, but a ship of this era making a nine year journey is mostly going to be composed of fuel and cargo for arrival. I'd like to think also that she was a sleeper ship for at least most of the colonists, but I don't think that was made clear. In any case, I'd imagine that the spine was the main habitable volume, with the Defiant nacelles on the side being cargo or deuterium. As for construction, I'd imagine they could've boosted the spine to orbit in completed form, and the nacelles as well. On the other hand, given Rain Robinson's DY-100 model, they could very well have boosted almost the entire ship, funky non-aerodynamic sections and all. A fairly good median of these two ideas would be that they boosted the main section mostly complete, presumably with some sort of temporary covering to help out the aerodynamics of the Defiant pods. They fueled her in orbit, attached the warp engines (also built on the ground), and loaded the folks, cargo, and minutiae. Alternately, she was a hydrogen-collection vessel anyway, and they simply built some warp engines and made some modifications after 2063. Anything would be a job for Earth's crippled infrastructure, but like the 1930's WPA it might've been just a boost we needed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
