Adonis, what part of
(and I don't want to start up that flame war again either)
did you not understand? Jesus, I don't even dislike the Defiant, I think that--for the mission the Defiant was designed for--the model we got is probably better than the more "traditional" designs that were kicked about (which I would give some sort of link to if I could get to the site that has them

). My point was, that model wasn't picked
because it was better for the mission, it was picked because it looked cooler, and that was the beginning of the problem...
