BTW, i found the Starfleet fighter i was looking for.. since we accept that Peregrines (or whatever Fed Fighters from DS9 were called) dont fit many in a standard bay, but the Valkyrie from Activision's Star Trek Invasion fits the bill, coming in under 20m, and having short hop warp capability (and NCCs to match). Not canon I realize, but when you say Starfleet fighter i dont see why everyone assumes that the Peregrinoid ships from DS9 are the only ones possible.

What's a Valkyrie? I've seen that name mentioned from time to time, but I've never seen one.

From Activision's Invasion game.. two seater, so im assuming the cockpit is a little bigger than a workbee, so the length might come out roughly even with a medium to large size shuttle. because it has a warp drive, it gets a NCC number (i figure), and the height looks appropriate for placing them in the shuttlebay of your favorite starship that you think might be a good carrier. Im not saying that its smart to use fighters in the Trek-verse, just saying that its possible to have a small one. i read about the design process, they said they tried to cross delta flyer with the defiant, and a fighterplane.. looks pretty cool tho..

No visible warp field grills, I don't think it's warp capable. Looks more like a trans-atmospheric fighter, since it looks like it's got functional wings and ramjet engines.

But I agree, it looks more like a STL fighter designed for planetary operations. And it looks way too small to be an effective fighter against large ships.
