Why are Starships in the Star Trek universe so small? I mean what with structural integrity fields and inertia dampeners what's stopping them being bigger? Don't get me wrong I love Star Trek,I'm just wondering.--[[User:James1314|James1314]] 18:16, May 7, 2010 (UTC){{

Well, if you want big ships, look at Star Wars. Some of the ships there are best measured in miles. Somehow, they are still able to land (unlike Starfleet's big ships which are smaller). <!--[[User:Where/sigContract]];Will Pittenger-->[[User:Will Pittenger|Will]] <small>([[User talk:Will Pittenger|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Will Pittenger|contribs]])</small><!--ESC:Will Pittenger--> 19:20, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
