It could be quite an interesting setting. And the obvious challenges of trying to coax decent performance out of the supposedly weak powerplant.

The Lakota is a refit-Excelsior - she had exactly the same hull extensions and extra impulse engines as the E-B.

Same here, to be honest. After looking at pics of them both, though, I can see what they mean.

I just looked around DITL. Didn't find anything like the Refit model on the Lakota. Could someone put up a screen shot?

Memory Alpha has got some screen shots. You can see the beefed up impulse engines in the shot with the Defiant.

Well thats interesting. I guess I didn't notice without the failing hull and the fact that unlike the other refit we've seen the Lakota was ARMED.

OOU, apparently the Excelsior, the E-B and the Lakota were all the same studio model, and once they stuck all the extra stuff on, they were unable to take it off without damaging the model.
