    Here's my thought...

     

    Starfleet started as an extension of a joint Earth Space Program. The reason Enterprise carried weapons is because they are going into the unknown. I don't know how many people, even explorers or diplomats, would sail into the waters off Somalia without some kind of protection. The same could be said for Enterprise.

     

    However...

     

    As time goes on, Earth, and later the Federation, realises that while Earth is paradise, very few other places even come close. The Galaxy is a rough place. So Starfleet evolves. Enterprise carries relatively few weapons for a ship her size. Two guns, two missile/torpedo launchers, on a ship the size of an Iowa Class Battleship. By the time of Kirk's Enterprise, The need for armed ships was more obvious. Kirk's vessel was more combat ready. We didn't see a while lot in the Original Series, but in the movies, the fact that the Enterprise and Enterprise A both have at least a half-dozen twin mounts for phasers, but still only two torpedo tubes. If you look at Excelsior, she is even more heavily armed, with 9 or 10 twin mounts on the saucer alone! Then we get to the Next Generation. The Galaxy class has ten of the most powerful phasers ever fitted to a starship, and three total torpedo tubes <One is only usable when the saucer seperates>. Voyager, a ship 1/4 the size of the Galaxy class, has a dozen of the same phaser arrays, and four torpedo tubes ready to go. Defiant has at least four phaser cannons, possibly a dorsal phaser array, and aft torpedo capabilities on a ship significantly smaller than the NX-01. And then there's the Enterprise E. 6-7 Torpedo tubes, and 12-15 phaser arrays. Starfleet sure got the hint that not everyone is out there to play nice. It took them a while, but they did evolve from being explorers with weapons for defense to being a capable military force. I also think, in the aftermath of the Dominion War, Starfleet would establish a permanent Strategic and Tactical Command, with purpose-built warships maintained at the ready. You just never know when you've only explored 20% of your home galaxy...

    *shifty eyes* oh ok not dominos pizza

     

    a robe

     

     

    Well, if you HAVE to work for a pizza place, might as well be the best. Gary used to be a GM, but got turned down for a franchise. Now he's an Assistant Manager, and quite the capable all-around guy. He's probably the best all-around employee in the area. There ain't a damned thing he can't do.

    History

     

    The Tomcat-class Starfighter, who's official Starfleet nomenclature is Starfighter, Aerospace Superiority, Mk. IV, 2384, was developed in the late 2370's following the end of the Dominion War. It got it's name because the design was in essence a redo of a late 20th/early 21st century United States Navy Intercepter, the F-14 Tomcat. The reasoning behind the design was simple. The fighter was large enough to carry a heavy weapons load, could be made compact enough to deploy in squadrons aboard starships larger than 500 meters, and it had demonstrably good atmospheric handling charactoristics, the latter requirement because part of it's intended mission is support of ground troops, strategically, tactically, or in close.

     

    It's primary weapons system is the Mk. 15 Pulse Phaser cannon. This is the same weapon mounded aboard the Peregrine class which preceeded it. the six phasers, mounted in the leading edge of the wing gloves, can be fired sequentially, in pairs, in triplets, or as one. A well placed volley can badly damage a Jem Hadar Attack Ship. Secondarily, the ship carries the Mk. 19 Phaser cannon. Developed for use on the Mk. III Fighter, which was basically a combat-equipped academy trainer, the phaser cannon is designed to give extra punch to smaller craft. the cannon can fire powerful phaser energy beams that can inflict heavy damage on many military craft with defenses that are not as resiliant as those of a Defiant Class Starship.

     

    The craft has twin microtorpedo tubes, mounted low on the nose, above the phaser cannon and forward of the cockpit. each tube has 45 rounds each, and they can fire at a rate of 90 RPM. Also integral to the Tomcat is it's torpedo tubes. Each tube has a 3-weapon magazine, for a total of six. They tend not to carry mixed loads, as the torpedoes cannot be rearranged once loaded into the magazine.

     

    External weapons are numerous. Starfleet developed dozens of weapons for use with the Mk. II (Peregrine) and Mk. III Fighters which are still deployable aboard Tomcat. For dogfighting and exo-atmospheric strike missions, it can carry an impressive load of Anti-fighter and Anti-Ship Missiles, Booster-equiped Torpedoes, and rocket launchers. For the ground support/strike mission, it can carry torpedoes, Rockets, and various types of bombs, including cluster bombs and incindiary bombs.

     

    The Tomcat has two warp nacelles fitted under the outboard engine/weapons pods. These are fitted on retractable pylons that extend for warp flight, and bring the nacelles close in to the hull during atmospheric and sublight space travel. this is especially useful in starfighter combat, as it reduces the number of appendages hanging off the ship.

     

    Weapons hangers can be mounted under the hull (four), under the wing gloves (six, three per side) and under the wings (Three per side.) The Underwing hardpoints move with the wingsweep, always keeping the weapons pointed parallel to the ship's flight path.

     

    The Swing-Wings have several settings. In normal flight mode, the wings are in the 'Closed' possition, at 62 degrees of sweep. During combat and slower atmospheric flight, the wings open to 20 degrees. For landing and storage, the wings 'oversweep' to 75 degrees, making it more compact. In an atmosphere, the wings automatically adjust to provide the optimum performance.

     

    The Swing Wing design makes the Starfighter the most agile craft in an atmosphere, capable of out meneuvering any ship, Starfleet or otherwise.

    They made it to the game, but forgot to actually show up. Happens, though, when you play against Payton Manning. I'm a Packers fan, so I am obliged to think the Bears suck...This, of course, is the team that had Jim McMahon, not even Porky Pig was quite so big a ham...

    They really really really really really really suck

    For cripes sake they only won one lousy Super Bowl

    They make fun of Wisconsin, but we don't get upset

    Where do you think that they're all headed every chance they get

     

    We don't really hold a grudge 'cause this is all in fun

    As far as football rivalries we're both number one

    Still we wouldn't mind seeing Ditka run over by a truck

    Here is a possibility. O'Brien entered the Academy to be an Officer, but after his first year decided for some reason that the Academy wasn't for him. Happens alot, in the real world. The Academy wasn't for him, but he still wanted to serve, so he went to a recruiting office and enlisted as a Crewman. Traditionally, Officers are generalists, who tend to focus more on being leaders than on their specialty. Enlisted personnel are specialists. O'Brien presumably was in a tactical field at first, then at some point "Cross-rated", or switched jobs, to Engineering before he was assigned to the Enterprise. Typically, as you advance, you learn more. By the time you reach the Chief ranks, you have been doing your job for many years, and as a result of the requirements of working on ships, you learn not just your own specialty, but other similar specialties. This, too, is common place. Most Navy ships have a large number of enlisted "specialists", but relatively few (maybe 1 for every ten) chiefs. Chiefs tend to serve in capacities similar to officers at that point, albiet with more technical training and more experience, which is why Miles, as a Senior Chief, could serve basically, as the chief engineer for DS9
