Same here. When it comes to the Prommie, as far as i know wedges are very structurally sound shapes which would probably help structural integraty. And helps in ramming actions 8)

The thing does look like it could be a high tech missile, doesn't it?

Building a ship with ramming in mind isnt that smart since you only really do it once, and then you are sacrificing a ship.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

On the other hand, filling those old Miranda class ships with explosives and running them into starbases and planets would have been a decent idea. It's not like they lasted that long in open combat.

I did not mean to suggest it was designed to ram things, I apologize if I made that Impression. however, the structure lends itself quite well in the last stand situation, no?

Hey, if I were designing a warship, I'd stick a big mean prow on it just in case it has to ram something. The extra mass and resources couldn't be that prohibitive.
