    Didnt they state that the only reason they gave the defiant to DS9 is because it was so poorly designed it couldnt be in real service?

      Poorly designed because “it was too powerful”. With engines at full power the entire ship nearly shoot apart. It was also considered “over-gunned”.

      Basically it was “too good to be in service” while every single part of the thing is an engineering nightmare and doesn’t make sense in any capacity. Worthless frisbie.
