Hey Captain, was wondering, how big are you going to make your Defiant in the game? I understand that you are going to make Pulse Phasers something that only the Defiant (and maybe a couple of other types of hulls) can install on its hull, but how big are you going to make this "Tough little ship" for the game? Actually, I can't even get an exact Dimension size for it. I've heard people say its about 270 meters to as small as 100 meters in lenght. I'm not exactly sure what that would translate to KT's in the game. I've read in the DS9 Tech Manual (and I question many concepts in that manual to say that least) it places the Tonnage of the vessel at 355,000 Metric Tons. does that mean you are going to make the Defiant 355 KT? What about the Enterprise-D and E? The Ent-D seems to be much more massive then the E, yet its obvious the E has much more powerful Weapon systems on board. In my SFB mode I had planned, I was thinking in just keeping a relative Tonnage for all races (at least that would be balanced).

Also, what about Quantum Torpedoes? Suicide Junkie and I had a long discussion about Quantums once and we both agreed that the DS9's Tech Manual theories about how they work (among a few weird theories from Trekkies) seem a bit silly. Just wondering what was your theories about this weapon system.
