Poll

if the iceni is 944 meters and does not have a fighter bay, then how could the uss voyager from star trek (344 meters) hold shuttle craft, which are smaller than normal fighters?

Fix and modify so that large ships (corvetts to super juggernauts) are bigger so most can hold fighter bays

fix it by subtracting length and width

true the Borg lost their mystery but they were an enemy worth exploring imho.

Fair enough, let's just say I thought the direction they took them in made the Borg less menacing

Voyager gave us the Borg in the form of Jeri Ryan in a catsuit.  That gets a massive :yes: from me.

Well, the Iceni DOES have a "fighter bay", and I think we can all agree that it probably has an escape pod bay for emergency purpose.

Also, to "fix" it, I suggest making the Iceni 30 kilometers long so that it can duel with the Gargant and hold destroyer-sized Myrmidons.
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

No.
Not in model shape, not in subsystem set up.
Not even a little bit.
Not even a little one.
Not even a hint.

It was used in the multi missions pack, and I think it may have been used in the demo campaign as well.

I realize I'm way late...  But if Voyager is only 344 meters, methinks that the crew of 280 people is quite cramped...

I've been watching Star Trek quite a bit lately, and I think they actually have the scales worse than Freespace...  Especially as you move from one series to another.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

You have no sense of scale. A Nimitz class aircraft carrier is about the same length, and carries 5000 people.
