[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sean: [QB] And you also have to think about production runs. The mirandas and excelsiors ( for the most part) could be from the later production runs of their class. Old design, but technically a new(er) ship. i don't think we'll see any of the B-52's from the early production runs in the 50's and 60's in 2040. Another example would be the Colt M1911 .45 cal pistol. Standard issue pistol of the US armed services from 1911 untill 1985, and the design is still in use and just as popular as it was when it originally came out. In fact, some military personell still carry .45's that were made in the Vietnam era, or earlier(that still function perfectly), instead of the Beretta M9 9mm. Sure we have newer and better pistols, with better accuracy and magazine capacity ( the .45 only holds 7 rounds ), but the good old 45 still has admirable qualities. It is simple to use, has excellent stopping power, it's durable. Just like Excelsiors, and to a lesser extent, Mirandas ( they would be like Colt Peacemakers). There are faster, more heavily armed ships available, but there seem to be so many Excelsiors and Mirandas out there, and they can still get the job done. As to why we saw Excelsiors being used as flagships, most of the Admirals were old, and probably served on ships like them, and find them suitable for their purpose. And they both blow up nicely in battle. :D Wow, I just REALLY over explained this... [/QB][/QUOTE]
