Oh, there's two simple reasons 1. in movie plot the Defiant was already in full combat against the Borg, system damage must've occurred, and 2. The producers didn't want any ship upstaging it's main superstar, that ugly looking Enterprise.Whenever I watch the battle scene at the beginning of First Contact I'm always a little disappointed with the Defiant. In DS9, her pulse-phasers are fierce bursts of energy that just overpowers its target, yet in the film when the ship fires it seems very wishy-washy (which for a ship doing what it was designed to do is a shame).
Why did the special effects team not copy what we saw on the small screen?

They all had holiday booked for that week. Deep Space 9 was being run by Quark and Odo.I still refuse to believe Sisko let Worf take the Defiant to fight the Borg at Earth without him. Or Dax, O’Brien, Bashier, etc...
Shenanigans I say.
...well, it's happened before...
Ira Behr has confirmed that line is intended to be a reference to First Contact.Of course, Sisko already mentions "the recent Borg attack" several episodes earlier, in "Purgatory's Shadow". But that episode has a pre-movie stardate, or at least its other half, "By Inferno's Light", does. And it makes no mention of damage to the Defiant.

intent is interesting, but it need not be relevant.
Intent is not canon.![]()
I dunno, having the Defiant show up in the MCU might be a bit confusing to most people.Having the Defiant in First Contact was a nice little tie in with the tv series I thought. If only the MCU would do that.
