Sneaky Defiant! Took me a moment.

That the Defiant is as big as the entire saucer on the Constitution class is wild. I thought it was much much smaller

Just goes to show how much bigger all of the ships got after TOS.

I always forget just how large the defiant is. I feel like there is rarely anything close enough in the camera shots to get a good idea of scale. Other than DS9 I mean.

Everything looks tiny when compared to ds9

Basilisk ,

Although when they created DS9 in Star Trek Online, they had to massively scale it up because otherwise it would have gotten lost among all the players’ ships, both by sheer volume and because so many ships in the game are absurdly large.

Same thing happened to Bookers ship from Discovery Season 3 and 4. It can fit in the cargo bay (barely) of the Discovery and yet in the game it’s like a third the size of said Discovery.

I think the shot we see of it against the Enterprise E in “First Contact” doesn’t help with the perception of the scale of the ship.

It’s even funnier when you hear the Sisko’s initial description of the defiant.

It’s a warship, nothing more, nothing less.

And also

No families, no science labs, no luxuries of any kind…

Meanwhile it’s almost as big as the OG Enterprise which did in fact have a regulation size bowling alley inside.

So all that space, basically just for engines and guns on the Defiant.

It had a lot of engines and guns

It also had a Romulan cloaking device and ablative armor that would disintegrate when hit rather than rupture.

Tough little ship!
