Runabouts For Fed Scouts

posted on October 15th, 2004, 1:50 am

I was just wondering if Runabouts would make more sense than the current scouts to use runabouts.

i think they would cause DS9 used them for just about everythin, including attacking the Dominion.

Venture class is roughly the same size as a runabout, dosen't really matter/

Nice idea, but while the runabouts were multi-purpose vessels, the Venture is a designated scout and thus more likely to be used for scouting.

That said, sure, I'd like to see runabouts! They'd be fun as light escort vessels.

even though runabouts were sent to DS9 as an all-purpose vessel, they were mainly used to explore the Gamma Quadrant

i find runabouts just the bigger shuttles of the stations. you knwo, the transport ships for getting people on board of teh station

technicaly, the runabout is too large to be a shuttle and too small to be a full blown starship. it has its own NCC number, so i guess it is a semi-starship(almost a starship)

I personally never really like the venture any way, runabout sounds good

A venture is larger therefore better equiped to scout.

The venture never struck as a very federation design to begin with it is like someone at starfleet command got drunk one night and messed up a perfectly good drawing of a defiant. Besides the venture is speedy and judging from the federations over abundance of very slow orbeths as science ships it doesn't make sence for their scout to be fast the federation are more the patient type

venture looks more like a delta flyer
