Author Topic: Defiant/Akira Aethelwer Frank G Member # 36 posted December 15, 2006 10:05 AM                       So, did anyone ever figure out how long the Defiant and Akira really are?

I hauled that joke out at someone on IM yesterday. -------------------- "The French have a saying: 'mise en place'—keep everything in its fucking place!"

Did I ever reveal the secret scene where the Defiant is 170m?

And, no I'm not talking about the length of the Defiant... Registered: Jun 2000  |  IP: Logged Aethelwer Frank G Member # 36 posted December 15, 2006 11:02 AM                       Eh, here and there. Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Charles Capps We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid. Member # 9 posted December 15, 2006 12:07 PM                       At least I at least post more than Frank does. Sometimes. Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Aethelwer Frank G Member # 36 posted December 15, 2006 12:53 PM                       The scary part is, I have posted more than once a day, every day, for the past 8 years, according to my post average.

Member # 393 posted December 16, 2006 12:04 AM                       I'm going to have to step in at this point, and put a stop to this line of questioning. You see, persisted enquiries as to Frank's whereabouts and activites in recent years will undoubtedly end in revelations that he's been off out and about, enjoying and indulging in his new-found hunkiness, and for those of us who're used to, and indeed comfortable with, the old toad-like Frank, it'll be just too much to stomach. Especially if, like me, you've just gotten over a tummy bug and are only now beginning to come to terms with the idea of normal and continued digestion of recently-consumed meals. Oh, if only I had one of those MiB flashy-things, I could nip this in the bud right now. As it is, I suspect I'm too late. -------------------- Never mind the Phlox - Here's the Phase Pistols Registered: Jul 2000  |  IP: Logged Mark Nguyen I'm a daddy now! Member # 469 posted December 16, 2006 12:24 AM                       All that, AND the scene where the Defiant is flying side by side with two Mirandas. The Miranda saucer is 170 meters long/wide. The Deifant was the length of that saucer in that shot. QED. Mark -------------------- "This is my timey-wimey detector.

Also, the Miranda's main hull is longer than it is wide.

Sweep that line through 360� and there's your saucer boundaries. Simple. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Shik Starship database: completed; History of Starfleet: done; website: probably never Member # 343 posted December 17, 2006 05:43 AM                       Or turn it upside-down & look at the rim.
