promie class

How many decks is the promie class and it's varrant? Does it have 3 warp cores?
 
^

Is this a trick question?

:vulcan:

no trick...

the promie class is typically 15 decks... i want to know how many less decks would a variant be? in other words, a promie class variant would be how many decks?
 
Given a variant can be anything, let's say...

Ten gazillion decks. Each deck being ten metres high, except on Sundays when they are compressed into a metaphysical nutshell and the whole ship becomes negative ten gazillion decks high.

I fully concur.

Anyone want to play fizzbin?
 
As I desipher your sarcasism, you are saying that it can be anything? There is no specifics? If so you could have just told me plainly w/o the sarcasism....
 
I think you might be under the wrong impression as to what the term 'variant' means, Sho. It does not actually denote a specific alternate configuration, merely that the type varies in some way from the basic planform of what an example is a variant of.

For example,in most markets the Volkswagen group appends the term 'Variant' to their estate cars, or station wagons as they are known in the US, not because the term implies any specific variation from the saloons they are based upon, but because there is variation from the base design in the first place.

Is there a particular variant you're referring to? I only know of the Prometheus as seen on the show. I have seen fanfic and online variants to it though. Were one of those what you were interested in?
 
thats what my ship is now, but someone told me that a promie variant would suit me better..... that is why i asked
 
^ As we said though I'm afraid, officially, there aren't any. There used to be something called a Titan/Ares Class that was a fan creation that was sort of a scaled down Prometheus. It may fit the bill of what you're after.
 
The 170 meter version of the Defiant would still have fewer than 10 decks as well.
