[QUOTE]Originally posted by Toadkiller: [QB] I don't have any trouble with your list, in fact haven't gone through the whole thing yet. But some thoughts in general. A "major" class showing up every ten years is probably pretty reasonable, and might even be a goal. The major cost (in time and resources if not cash) is in making the first unit of something and getting it to work right. Even for Star Fleet this is going to be true. After that it gets easier and easier as your construction team gets more efficient at their job. So it might actually make sense to stick with a hull form for a long time, especially if it was initially designed to have a great deal of growth potential, as described in the tech manual. Of course post-TNG sort of messes this up with new classes popping up right and left but we can probably "fix" most of those. Galaxy as a Ambassador replacement and the Sov's as Excellsior replacements or something like that. That said I'm not sure I'd count Jenolan as a "major" ship type though. Aside-- really does make you wonder what happened to 1701-B, doesn't it? [/QB][/QUOTE]
