[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] I believe that it isn't a kitbash as described in the "Deep Space Nine Technical Manual" because of the reading that I have done about the development of aircraft, ships, and weapons systems. These systems are usually in development for ten or more years during which time they are tested and thoroughly debugged. Now if you were to just weld components together as Sternback describes, extensive testing and system debugging would need to occur before the starship was combat ready. Can the structural integrity field generators keep the starship together or are they too powerful for the revised spaceframe, do the fire control and navigation systems work properly, does the warp core eject when instructed to do so? You don't want to send 115 officers and crew to their deaths without doing extensive testing of the ship's systems. Further, I have never seen a military power weld surplus parts of weapons system together to have more armament in the field. Regarding the fan refits of the [i]Saladin[/i] and [i]Hermes[/i] so they resemble the refit [i]Enterprise[/i], I think that the thin single warp engine looks rather silly. Its like a shoe that ends in a single stiletto heel. The addition of the second warp engine and the little struts give the design a lot more balance and make it look much less frail. [/QB][/QUOTE]
