The only thing i don´t like about the danube is that it is too slow, at least acording to this web site. Could you make a trip from DS9 to Earth on one of those? how log would it take?

We saw that the romulans also have a similar ship, maybe others too.

Handle stressful situations as a dog would: if you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and get out of there!!!

The Romulan Shuttle as seen in "DS9: In The Pale Moonlight" or the Scoutship from "TNG: The Defector"? A small ship with half decent range and a cloaking device would be perfect for an antisocial git like me.

It went approximately as fast as the NX-01, which was limited to Warp 5 for short bursts but somehow made it to Q'oNos in 4 days. That is, it had a top end of .95 x the speed of plot.

The Danube was always one of my favourites simply because of the fact that it seemed to handle itself so well for its size.
