[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [qb]And, BTW, I hate the Excelsior class as well, not to mention the Miranda Class. [/qb][/QUOTE]Blasphemy! I'm quite fond of both designs. The Miranda class' compact design makes more sense to me than the primary hull-secondary hull setup of just about ever other Star Trek starship. As for their use in TNG and DS9, I don't have much of a problem with the use of the Excelsior class since it was at least a prototypical design in Star Trek III. The Miranda, on the other hand, seems like much too old of a design. The use of those classes decades after their introduction isn't too far from reality, though. The B-52 prototype flew in 1952 and current USAF plans are to have the plane in service until at least 2040. That's 88 years of service! With the Excelsior prototype being tested in 2285 and being used at least until the end of the Dominion War in 2375, the design would have been in service for 90 years. With respect to the long life of a particular vessel, the USS Midway (CV-41) saw front-line service for 47 years (1945 to 1992). [/QB][/QUOTE]
