DS9: Bad Writing?

I don't think the Defiant was supposed to take down the Bork singlehandedly. More like a mass produced flying array of bigass guns that wouldn't normally get attached to a craft of that size. So instead of making one hugeass galaxy class ship that's just a sitting duck to a borg cube, you make 20 independently flying mini-crafts that have as much firepower as a much larger vessel.

yea it's lazy writing but w/e

>decimate 40+ warships
That would mean they only blew up 4 ships.

They also talk about how the threat f the Borg decreased, so they discontinued the development as it had a fair few issues.

But I dont see what's wrong here, it reduces unnecessary crew (and especially family members), you arent wasting tech like holosuites, and it can fly in fast and deal as much damage as possible.

build 20 instead of 1 Galaxy class ship for the same "cost" and come at a cube from every side simultaneously.

I dont know why they dont just have bombs though. Borg cube is easy target... so just blow it up in one huge blast

haha, well I get it. But language evolves: as the common use changes, so too does the meaning.

They're called photon/quantum torpedoes.

They were also basically glass cannons. It was referenced multiple times in the show that the engines/weapons were too strong for a ship of it's size. It was designed to blow it's load and then run before the enemy can land as successful counterattack
