Split[]

Shouldn't the larger ship have it's own article? I know they are both referred to as cell ships, but they are clearly different types. - Archduk3 09:17, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Not sure about that - unless there's much more information than what is currently in the article. We don't seem to have different names for the two ship types, or an image of the larger one - and the only description for that one is "it's bigger and has a tractor beam). At the moment, I couldn't even tell whether that one is proper information or just speculation - has there been a direct statement addressing different ship sizes? Has it been stated that one is equipped with a tractor beam while the other is not? Or is all of that just speculation (perhaps even based on a "post-production ship resize issue" as has happened several times in Trek)? Citing the "2nd type information" would help. -- Cid Highwind 18:24, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

The image on the page shows the larger type in the lower left hand side. The tractor beam info may just be based on what was seen in the Shockwave episodes, but I would have to check that. - Archduk3 02:45, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Based on the info Sennim found at the Drex Files, it would seem that the tractor beam info is from "Shockwave, Part II", and these definitely are different designs. As for what to do with this if it is split, I would suggest that this page become a disambiguation, with some sort of qualifier used as the disambig for the two types. Speculation would suggest that the larger version might be the unseen Suliban transport, but both versions were clearly referred to as cell ships. - Archduk3 09:12, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
