[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: Me, I'm convinced the Federation fighter is between 15 and 20 meters of length (scaling from the cockpit window)... That would allow it to be packed aboard an Akira in some quantity![/QUOTE]Unfortunately, that would make it too cramped for what we see in Maquis2. [QUOTE]A "courier" should indeed be fast, but we don't really have any reason to think that the fighters or the Peregrines would be especially fast. I mean, the Peregrine couldn't even outrun a Runabout![/QUOTE]Correct. While the old Peregrine courier could not outrun a runabout despite heavily modified engines (which apparently limits it to the warp five range), we know that state-of-the-art Type-9 shuttles are capable of warp four ("Resolutions"[VOY2]). Call me crazy, but I'd like to think that the Federation fighter, being all engine, would be swift as all hell. [QUOTE]P.S. "Quantum" torpedoes in the script? Is this where the term really originates? [/QUOTE]Originates? No, SoA was after FC. [/QB][/QUOTE]
