Author Topic: Defiant - Carries a runabout? J Active Member Member # 608 posted                       What about the episode where the runabout gets shrunk... "Little Ship" or something like that. Wasn't that a runabout and wasn't it aboard the Defiant? -------------------- Later, J _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ The Last Person to post in the late Voyager Forum.

Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir. Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then. Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

It would make more sense to use a shuttle then have a Runabout follow along after all Registered: Mar 2004  |  IP: Logged deadcujo Spectator Member # 13 posted                       They may have needed the runabout to evacuate the hundred or so people on the Defiant if something went wrong with their experiments in transwarp. -------------------- Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week?

Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged Malnurtured Snay Blogger Member # 411 posted                       Well, the Runabout in "Little Ship" wasn't shrunk until it entered the anomaly. My guess is it and the Defiant traveled seperately to the anomaly, or that the Defiant tractored the Runabout through warp space. Like a big tow truck and a tiny little bike or something. -------------------- www.malnurturedsnay.net Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged Captain Boh Senior Member Member # 1282 posted                       why not just use the Defiant's shuttle pod though? Registered: Mar 2004  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       The Runabout's sensors would be far superior to a tiny shuttlepod and the Defiant herself might have been to large to manuver into the anomaly. At a guess, anyway. Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Guardian 2000 Senior Member Member # 743 posted                       As long as we're at it, let's enlarge the Galaxy Class main shuttlebay so we can park a Defiant in it. And then let's squeeze a runabout into the Defiant. And let's have the runabout aft cabin rebuilt into a mini-shuttlebay carrying a shuttlepod. A shuttlepod with an escape pod in it. Roga Danar would wet himself. -------------------- . . . ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam. G2k's ST v.

The Defiant has no landing feet, has it? I've never seen it land on any surface, I thought it was designed as a spacefaring-only vessel. Though your hypothesis is very desirable. Registered: Aug 1999  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       The runabout in "Little Ship" didn't have the pod on it, did it? I think it was shown or stated somewhere that the Defiant does have landing feet. But only for docking bays and such as it has no atmospheric capabilities. Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Aban Rune Former ascended being Member # 226 posted                       I think the Defiant's MSD shows landing feet. The reproduction shown in the DS9 Tech Man definitely shows landing feet. Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged
