In any event when the Defiant fire on the Negh' Var, We never saw the shields being activated. Then that does not astonish me that the Federation always wins.
I`m sure that the D`deridex and the Negh'Var will blow the Defiant very easly!!!

uh, ok, what the heck are you talking about?

Anyway, we know all that in Startrek the principal actors never dies, even if the situation would kill them 1000 times. Then forgets the Defiant, this ship is not so special...

I did a double take when I saw this thread was from this time last year! I remember posting my posts, like they were yesterday.
Anyway... I'm not sitting well with this whole little ships are better than big ships... There would have been a power come along well before this using smaller ships... I assume that the big arsed ships like the Enterprises and the Galors etc would have just swatted them down like flies. What bugs me (excuse the pun) is that Trek doesn't show REALLY what the ships can do... I would love to see a real starshipVstarship battle within a planetry system... with the crew using tactical strategies and the (powerful) phasers/disruptors arcing out across thousands of kms - just like they really do... and the torps - well they can reach warp speeds... I'd like to see them travelling halfway across an entire system!

Moreover I add that Romulans have already and will increase and add new classes of Bird of Prey who is the equivalent of the Federation Escort Class like Defiant in other. The first of the kind in the revival will be Vithrel-Class swift bird of prey envisaged into 2376 thus it is already made.

Really? I thought the Romulans, in 2379, were going to construct a new Romulan Dreadnought called the 'Fnbyz'sck' Class, or translated into Federation Standard, roughly, "Those who are without knowledge should be beaten into a pulp". Sounds good to me.
Anyway, I KNOW FOR SURE that this class is going to be 8000 Meters long, and have a crew consisting of 20,000. It will also have a phase cloak, pulse-driver-inverted-tetryon-beam-flagstaff-poleron-beam-duty-free Torpedo Pulse launchers, more powerful than 90 Ticobalt Torpedoes combined (Those are the most powerful Federation torpedoes. Only carried by Sovereigns. And Voyager, because it has Seven. And she makes my Tri cobalt. If you know what I mean.

No no no Ultra Magnus, you've got it all wrong.
The Romulans are changing there design the match Federation saucer designs. There latest ships will be 24km wide saucers called the Vris'Be class. The main gun is a huge laser beam located on the bottom at the exact center of the ship.
They are also planning to create a giant saucer dropship.

Regarding the issues of the size and features of the Romulan Warbird, I spoke to Andy Probert about the ship one day, and he told me exactly what was what on the design.
a) beam weapons -- the round 'eyes' on either side of the ship's head are weapons. There are four other pairs of these on the ship. Two of them are on either side of the vertical portion at the back of the ship, and there's one pair each on the top and bottom of the ship along the trailing edge of the "wings" (near the center). There's also a paiur in an indented area on the top of the ship just aft of the root of the neck
b) torpedo launcher -- an opening on the top of the ship, at the root of the neck (just forward of the indention with the beam weapons)
c) navigational deflector -- the traingular "mouth" on the front of the head...no it's not a weapon as seen on the show
d) impulse engines -- the ship hasn't any! Andy said the ship was the last one he designed and he had very little time...he never got around to drawing the back, and the modelmakers never thought to add them. There are supposed to be a pair of stacked impulse exhausts at the very back of the ship.

P.S. The Ferengi Marauder has no navigational deflector...when I asked Andy where it was he said, "I forgot it!"
