    Grant's got a point. So - Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (Scottish), Kirk (Scottish descent), Spock (mother Amanda Grayson - Scottish descent) - U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701 ("No bloody A, B, C, D, or E!") always wins because they have the Scots.

    Off topic but if you enter the engine room of any ship anywhere in the world and yell "Hey Mac" you will get a reply!

    He didn't cheat! He improvised.

Beat that!
    Not when Kirk has been distracted by Lapis Lazuli and Lorelei Lee (wearing what they usually wear at home on Tertius) on his viewscreen! Always know your enemy's weakness.

    Seriously though, I'm surprised that with as much as Roddenberry stole Heinlein's stuff, he never thought to use some of the more fun ideas. Like the whole n-space navigational problems that crop up in several of Heinlein's novels.

    I'd still back any ship with a Burroughs continua device. I mean c'mon, Gay Deceiver managed to elude the entire Galactic Patrol when they were in that universe. And don't underestimate Hilda. Any woman who can intimidate Lazarus Long is obviously a force to be reckoned with.

    I can see DeVito as Cyrano, maybe Ronny Cox as the Comm.

    But to taint the Honorable D'Har Master Koloth w/ the likes of a petaq' like richard dean anderson...That is unspeakable!!! anderson is a Romulan at best, or a Vorta, BUT HE IS NO KLINGON!!!

    I posted this clever remark earlier today in a different thread. I went back over there to lift it and put it here where it belongs, In yer ear.

    Now, as for the fight b'tween a Starship an' anothr ship carrying far superior armaments, I can say this,
    "Gentlemen, y'd be on yer best mindset to go at it aganst m' own Captain James Tiberius Kirk. Regardless of yer ship's class an' tonnage."
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    What?! None of you have mentioned the Defiant?! The only warship the Federation made. You're slacking.

    The Prometheus was a warship, too, and the New Orleans class was a frigate, so probably primarily a warship.

    If you want to get really picky, there's also the TOS Saladin class destroyer and Federation class dreadnought, Franz Joseph's old designs from the 70s which gained technical canonocity when they appeared on readouts on the bridge of the Enterprise in "The Wrath of Kahn."
