It's worth noting that all the ships lacking the full deflector are single-hulled. It may be that the small-scale deflectors have a very limited area of effectiveness - not enough to cover the various pylons and necks of the larger designs.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.
Anyone else think the nacelle on that Nova kinda looks like a American flag?
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.

That, and Rochey's comment, are pretty much what I was driving at - although I didn't notice the pattern that Seafort did.

Why not? The deflector dish on the Defiant was a nav deflector, probe launcher, torp launcher, and automatic drip coffee pot.
I can't stand nothing dull
I got the high gloss luster
I'll massacre your ass as fast
as Bull offed Custer

if a ship has no facts we use deductive cannon facts and screen play to make accurate stats, we're aboca and beyond.
So who want's to take the time to prove or disprove that the Integra is a nova with 2 more nacells?
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
