[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Remember also that one of the big limitations on gun battles in the past was the horizon - you simply can't fire on anything over the horzon you couldn't see, regardless of the actual range of your guns. The aircraft carrier's traditional role was to break down that barrier by being able to, in essence, fire over the horizon with its aircraft. In space, there's no such limitation, which is why I believe that the big battleships theory has come back into play in Trek. Thus, a carrier's traditional role to stay out of the fighting and simply stick to fighter ops is a whole lot less valid. I submit that a carrier's role in Trek would depend on the op; what that is is up to debate, as we've simply not seen that happen yet in any capacity. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
