[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] I think it's safe to ignore sizing discrepancies in the Tac-Fighter's appearances; after all, no-one is saying there are 3 (or 4) different ship classes which are all [i]Defiant[/i]-shaped. But what size are we saying they are, if 15-20m is too cramped and 25-32m is too large? The mere fact the fighters have wings suggests they're intended to be able to operate in atmosphere. Makes sense - groud troops would need close-in air support, they couldn't depend solely on starship-mounted phaser banks for fire missions. Can someone remind me what other references there are which counter-indicate the Chakotaymobile being an [i]Antares[/i]-class? I was thinking. . . The large raider is obviously intended to be a ship available to civilians, and might have a different name as such. Like the Bell JetRanger helicopter is called (I think) the Kiowa by the US military. Hummer, Humvee. . . [/QB][/QUOTE]
