[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Mainly because it seems unreasonable to assume that ALL the starships lost in that time period would be from a single class, let alone from the "Oberth class" of the day. This was a suspect choice originally, and all the more suspect now. Earlier we could claim that Starfleet lacked the resources to send anything more than their top designs to deep space, so only those ships would disappear. Now that we know that to be untrue, I think we should go for diversity wherever we can. And by making the Archon more akin to the Constitutions of the day than to an Oberth, we'd be continuing the TOS tradition of having mainly the best and biggest ships (Exeter, Defiant, Constellation) get into trouble or disappear. That would nicely separate the show from TNG, where the smallest and dinkiest ships were the ones to get into trouble (apart from the hero ship, of course). When Mike originally labeled all the old ships as Daedalus class, he was sorely lacking in alternatives - note he never tried to think up a fictional class for the USS Valiant, even if that strange NCC-1226 popped up from somewhere. Now that there are alternatives upcoming, I think he should rethink the decision and retcon the canonically unconfirmed parts. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
