They were named "Station Runabout" just in case somebody wants to search if they are in the foundry ;P

    Well, it's a Starfleet ship, as were most of the Maquis ships. The Maquis was made up of a majority of formerly Starfleet colonists after all.

    :cool:

    Wasn't this commonly known as the 'Peregrine Class Attack Fighter'? I could be confusing this with the ships the Maqui used, but I was under the impression they were one and the same.

    Actually, it's a civilian Peregrine-class Courier, manufactured and in use by the Federation - which is how the Maquis came into their possession. During the Dominion War, Starfleet simply did what the Maquis had done before and slapped a couple weapons onto them to use these ships as makeshift "attack fighters" for their all-or-nothing assault on DS9.

    That being said, I think someone in Cryptic forgot to rename the mob you encountered. Until about a month ago, the Peregrines used to be Danube-class Runabouts, and in this instance it seems as if the spawn kept its old name. If you can still remember where you encountered these, you can file a bug report. :)

    I believe the correct name is now "Peregrine Attack Fighter" or something ... they're in the SB24 Fleet Action, too.

    actually the thing is so tiny if you would slap it on an intrepid class to make the yager class it would have to be upscaled by 10 or so...

    anyway THIS is the official Ma'Quis Raider....

    That link 404'd on me.
    But I assume you mean the Ju'day-class Raider as compared to the Peregrine Courier. Quite a lot of people confuse the two as they look very similar (and were both used by the Maquis), only differing in size and the aft section. Their models probably use a lot of identical parts.

    Yeah, they are in the game, but like the Runabout's there are scaled too @#$ big. It really irritates the heck out of me.

    Is there going to be a flyable version, even if it's a tier 1 ship similar in use to the bird-of-prey I don't care lol
    I remember seeing them in Sacrifice of Angels I think, they looked pretty nippy.

    If it ever was added as a playable ship it would be more like the Danube Class Runabout you can buy at DS9, not a full size starship.

    You know, considering we have a purchaseable Runabout ...

    Why the Gre'thor not. It's another moneysink and a pretty ship. I could even imagine player-made PvP matches between fighter squadrons. :p

    That being said: I'd also like to fly the type-VI shuttlecraft, while we're at it. :D

    The Delta Flyer is unique - I'm not sure I would want to see it "cheapened" by having thousands of copies. The type-IX shuttlecraft on the other hand ... Very sleek and sexy. :cool:

    I must admit I mixed my shuttles up, for some reason I thought the type-IX was the bulky one that I won't name..... cus I can't.

    Yay to the Type-IX tho:o:D

    Problem is, that's not proven anywhere. The Peregine Courier could have been any of three ships in DS9.

    See the article here.. DS9 wasn't very consistent in their ship usage.

    The ship shown in the OP is the Peregine-class light fighter model, whether or not it's a "civillian" model is up for debate. The only known appearances of that ship (whwere it's known for CERTAIN what it is) are as a Federation fightercraft.

    If those are the Peregrine fighters, they snuck into the game, around November 12th (I knew they were in the patch notes, just had to figure out which one).
    General

    •Cardassian and Dominion fleets have added the Cardassian Hideki Frigate and the Dominion Heavy Escort to their roster.
    •Federation and Mirror Universe Federation fleets have added the Peregrine Fighter to their roster.
    •Information for the new Klingon ships has been added to the database in Qo’noS.
    •Lieutenant Marrien now has eyes.
    •Added improvements to game stability.
    •Audio has been updated for "Fire at Will" and "Beam Overload" when using Original Series-era ship phasers.

    Not quite. The "attack fighter" model did appear in the DS9 episode "The Maquis" and was described there as a civilian courier (also mentioned in the article you linked). Given that the very same description was also applied to the unseen Peregrine in "Heart of Stone", I'm prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt and say they're the same.

    Wouldn't change much about the actual ship, anyways, as according to hard canon it'd be a civilian model in both cases. The only thing that's not 100% proven but only suggested is the "Peregrine"-name.

    Um, I don't know where you get that from, as that design has seen action as a Federation fighter not only in too many Dominion War episodes of DS9 to count, but also in TNG:"Preemptive Strike", where ist is a FEDERATION FIGHTER. Not a civillian ship - and it's unknown in hard canon whether or not there's a civillian version - that's kinda one of the whole points of the article I linked to.

    I told you. They call it a civilian courier on-screen. Watch the episode if you don't believe me.

    When was the last time you watched that? The only faction using these "fighters" there is the Maquis.

    No. Read it again - the point of the article is that the term "Peregrine" is only mentioned once but never connected to the different visual designs. The article even flat out states that the only thing consistent in every instance is the courier-aspect.

    I'm just glad they used the least "grebbled" version of the raider/fighter/civilian courier.

    The other ones always gave me a sense of meh, but the clean and sleek version looks good.

    I wouldn't mind seeing the ship as a higher tier ship as oppposed to the Lt? level Runabout that you can buy on DS9.

    Now all we need is a Fed carrier to balance out those Klink carriers. As it stands now I wont even go into faction verses faction pvp because there isn't a Fed one. So here's a note to self. Don't complain about Klink carriers in PVP, just don't join Fed v's Kilnk matches, stick with Fed v's Fed until they balance it.:D
