I was one little late to save the high concept ship story, so let's look for other little ones and
"VALIANT"
is my next save; another underrated gem from Ronald D Moore where a tenet of "The Arsenal of Freedom" is taken and expanded on in a huge way (e.g. jumping into command during an unsavory situation and trying to hold yourself together along with everyone else, but in DS9's case also being dumb enough to go all "David vs Goliath" under the most obvious circumstances and yet you still feel bad for them instead of appreciating Nelson Muntz that much more for all those times he pointed and laughed. )
True, you have to roll with the contrived setup that managed to get all the kiddie cadets to actually take over, but it does try to address a lot of ideas during its 43 minutes, as well as having a few very suspsensful moments adding much.
The biggest non-battle moment being promoted to captain when not ready and now you're huffin' and puffin' drugs. Or was he sniffling, not sniffing? I don't fully remember.
True, this is another Defiant-class starship, but wasn't that single prototype ship design scrapped because of a massive design flaw that caused it to fly apart at higher warp speeds? Well, true, a few episodes after that big reveal and now they're crankin' warp 9 and I don't recall any indication where O'Brien singlehandedly redesigned the thing, added more support struts and bits of used chewing gum to hold it together better... and for a prototype, they made more... so, fair enough, they worked out the bugs without the need to show extra rows of bolts along the edges and now they have a handful of them. True, headcanon can work, but the reasons for Sisko getting a ship were pretty dour to begin with and with a big list of issues, so now it's all magically improved. Please correct me where I'm wrong on the Defiant class history, especially if there was an eppy where O'Brien fixed all the problems and yet Starfleet didn't haul his heiney home to be the chiefiest chief that every chiefed the shipyards.
And in DS9 style, so you can guess what goes boom-boom at the end. At least this episode wasn't a Galaxy class starship where they raise families so it's not the other kind of "boom-boom", but anyway...
Also, Red Kangs' the best... I mean Police Squad (in color!)... I mean Red Squad (in color!).
^^ there you go, Nelsonpalooza. No time to snooza...
What's left:
"SONS AND DAUGHTERS"
"YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED"
"STATISTICAL PROBABILITIES"
"HONOR AMONG THIEVES"
"CHANGE OF HEART"
"WRONGS DARKER THAN DEATH OR NIGHT"
