Talk:Cardassian starships

message: Isn't the inclusion of the Hybrid from Bridge Commander a little... random? Bridge Commander is not canon, so the mention of the Hybrid seems a little irrelevant in an article about canon Cardassian warships. 195.188.221.191 (talk) 12:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree on this.  Other games also include other Cardassian ships that are not listed here (e.g. Star Trek: Armada and Star Trek: Armada II).  This page should only include ship types appearing on screen in shows or movies.  John Darrow (talk) 01:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

message: How can the article even suggest that the Vetar was destroyed in the Badlands in "Caretaker"? Tuvok clearly said after it was hit by the plasma storm that the Vetar was "sending out a distress call on all Cardassian frequencies". Not quite the work of a destroyed ship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.129.63 (talk • contribs) 
:The article notes that "The Vetar was either heavily damaged, disabled, or destroyed by a plasma storm ", which seems fairly accurate.  We know from dialogue that it sustained a "hit on its port blade", after which they "sen[t] out a distress signal on all Cardassian frequencies".  We also know from dialogue that ships of the Vetar's size don't tend to enter the plasma storms, Chakotay noting that "Gul Evek must feel daring today".  We know they were damaged.  We know that they were sufficiently damaged they sent out a distress call on all Cardassian frequencies.  There is no direct evidence that it was destroyed, but we never again saw Evek, and in order to have survived, either another vessel must have entered the storm, or else Vetar must have made her own way out.  Neither of these are impossible, but the last VFX we saw of the Vetar had her listing badly, and we know that even at full strength, she had been unable to maneuver to avoid the plasma tendrils.  Therefore, with no conclusive proof either way, and a fairly dire situation for all on board the Vetar, stating the possibilities the way the article does seems the fairest thing to do.  It's also worth noting that in "The Voyager Conspiracy", Seven brought up the image of a Cardassian ship, allegedly the one that had been persuing the Maquis, and saying that the Caretaker had sent it home.  If that's the case, their chances of survival may be either better or worse, given that (1) it's possible he sent them back not inside a plasma storm, and (2) ships hit by the displacement wave were badly damaged, even when they were hit when they were at full strength.  All in all, we just don't know for sure.  --Mnemeson 16:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have suggested to split Dreadnought vessel in a different page as Cardassian Dreadnought. If nobody has problem with this, I will proceed this way in a few days. --Luca Mauri 11:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be a bad idea. Several of these ships used to have their own articles but were merged here -- for obvious reasons (e.g. not being able to sustain an individual article). As it stands not enough information is known (OOU or even for that matter in-universe) to warrant splitting the Dreadnought. These pages are presently in a bit of a state, you should concentrate your efforts on trying to clean them up, rather than splitting. Matthew 11:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
