I was asked this on the main BF forum. My answer is included. Comments?
Quote from "some pointy ear" on Apr 30th, 2006, 3:02pm:I know that ST: Armada isn't cannon, but what I'm asking about occurs during the opening. Worf flyies a Defiant class warship through the hollow section of a D'deridex warbird, and destroys the ship from the inside.
What I'm wondering is, is it possible to fire between the "wings" and fly through them without destroying the ship. I'm asking because I want to make sure that it is possible to do this without accidentally destroying the warbird.
There are some that argue that the singularity is in the void. Its a cute idea but not supported (or really countered either) by canon. I'd say no to that because not all rommie ships have the void.
I do know if I was designing a rommie ship I'd put a gun in the middle because the idea of hiding in there is just too obvious and cliche. You are asking for it... so put a gun there when some cocky pilot tries it. But we haven't seen that either.
So, I would say first that if the shields were up you couldn't do it.. the shields would cover the gap. So if the sheilds are down, why bother. But technically, there is no reason that you can't sit in the and fire out.
I'd even suggest that the ship have shuttle docking bays on the inside. Maybe with coordination a cloaked rommie ship could get the shuttle to fly into the void, and then it could see the hull and dock while the big ship stayed docked. This would be a sneaky romulan kind of design to do.
