Runabouts For Fed Scouts

lol whatcha babblin bout phaser? I think the Sovern looks less like a Fed design then the Venture. It really dosen't matter, the Runabout is basically a courier vessel like the Lambda shuttle in star wars, not a scout or combat vessel.

Mabey if we had seen more of the venture in insurrection (that is the only place I have seen it) then it whould have been more convincing ships like the raven or the Orbeth are accutaly in my opinon the best fed scouts. They come into the sytem if they don't get destroyed than it is a perfectly good system to start setting up a new home

Yeah but Oberth isn't a scout I don't think. It's a science vessel that does experiments and investigates stuff and also assists in first contacts with new worlds.

the obirth is also one of those ships that are retired along ago. it was a scout and research vessel.

the oberth is ugly and should be distroyed. lol i like the idea of the raven though.

oberth was beautifull, it was used for scouting and research and avoided combat since it had onle 2 phaser banks and 2 torpedo bays and low shields,

however the point is that the runabouts are multi purpose shuttle's the venture...well...what the hell is the venture, a shuttle of a sovereign class?

No, it basically is...a scoutship. Small and used for...scouting.

no, the runabout has two micro-quantum torpedo launchers and a couple of phaserbanks. what does the venture have? only two pulse phasers

I just don't see the federation or any species except mabey the Noxter having the use of a small shuttlecraft like scout. That is somewhat foolish. A poor defenceless shuttle which looked from the scene with the shuttles dancing in inssurrection cramped I don't see 10 people ever fitting in the venture the Runabout on the other hand is a bit larger there is even a little mess hull (episode with frozen warbird and Enterprise) and besides the admiral considered it a mission scout ship mabey it was because they couldn't get a large federation ship in the briar patch for long without damage to the ship

lol when did the runabout get microquantums? Seems like it was just Phasers last time I checked, maybe some Photons.

my idea was to leave the venture as the scout ship (it has some tradition since armada1 ) and make runabouts as better armored scouts as derelicts
