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.

how can you say the Sovereign doesn't look like a fed ship? the Sovereign is the pinnacle of starship development...its design harks all the way back to the Enterprise/Enterprise-A Its the best looking Trek ship to come out of B&B EVER!!!!

Look at the Defiant class, I think with some wings and green paint that could be a new BoP design.

My Idea would be, that the Federation has 2 Scout Vessels (like the Romulans (btw: The Talon Refit should not be cloakable (because of Energy) and the other one should be called Talon Shi wich could mean spying Shadows (like Tal Shiar: probably means Spys in Shadows))).
The Venture has a Cloack Detection Ability, the Danube (Thats the name of the Runabout-Shipclass) doesn´t, but it is better armored, has stronger Phasers and Torpedos.

The question is: What is the use of the Danube? Maybe for a surprise Attack, because they can pass through a Asteroid Field (wich all scouts should, if possible)

The Raven is imo a single ship, wich was a special desing for the Hansens. The Prometheus, wich is my favorite, is not in FO, because of the same (logical) reason. But the Nova-Class would be a good addition to the Fed-Fleet.

BtW: Is or will the Prometheus be in the Game as a NPS? (either non- or only once-seperatable (twice seperateable is not possible without getting free ships (by seperating the saucer again and again), i already tried))

I think their throwing prommy in. I don't want scouts flying through asteroids, would ruin quite a bit for cloaking races, and the Runabout...again I feel it's not needed.

idea.....the runabout could be used for the shuttle traffic.
