Well, those (exept for the Defiant) are different, because, after all, there isn't a million Romulan (or Borg, or Klingon) designs floating around out there

what I meant by realism, was not its cannon status, rather its practical use as a systemwide scout. It is a smaller planatary design, and as for its relavence to armada tradition, Of all the ships that Activision could have chosen this was the one, despite the more obvious runabout.

My point is that we have no proof its even a scout, esspesialy a deep-space scout, and even if it is a deep space scout, its completely unsuited for the job

i'd say that it has the same range as the runabout, that and it looks cooler

. Still think it should be kept.

Actually, It doesn't have the same range. We got a look at the inside when Picard and Worf shut off Data, and there isn't any area other than the cockpit, so it can't hold people for a long-range journey like a runabout can

no as far as i can remember we saw the cockpit and nothing else, why do you suppose it dwarfed the shuttle picard & worf were in when they tried to "dock" with it. i'd say there is a seperate (if small) compartment for off duty hours ^_^ .

btw just a design question, i find it weird tot for instance for the federation that spreads 8000 lightyears it has in mayny site like only 50 akira's built or 100 galaxies, sounds pritty thin for such an area to defrend, so i guess venture patroll craft?

yea that does seem pritty thin yet i always get the inpression that the federation dosn't have that many ships. at least in the next generation, most of the ships that we saw then where TMP types, but that was because the enterprise D was the only Galexy Class star ship. however in DS9 we begin to get a vereation on the amount of ship types but i think that is why it was so important that they had an allience with the klingons. come to mention it it's didn't seem like the klingons had many ships eather.

well if im not mistaken isnt the Venture class the scoutship from Insurection and if so then it is cannon and should NOT be changed
