[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]And it also means the next major class would be coming along around 2405.[/QUOTE]The Enterprise-F...? [QUOTE]The Sovereign class, to me, is a bad choice for an Enterprise. It's a placeholder, a new Heavy Cruiser that Picard takes out to explore because tht's who he is. The class only came along five years or so after the Galaxy class entered service, and -- I feel -- was a rush job to complete in order to have it available to fight the Borg.[/QUOTE]I think it was bad, too, but that's just because I don't like anything that John Eaves designed. As for your hypothesis about the Borg... [QUOTE]Yes, I still stubbornly cling to the belief that the Akira, Saber, StReamrunner, and Norway classes are recent but old enough to be cheaply made/refit -- more cheaply than another New Orleans or Springfield, say. And not to the same standard as the newer Intrepid or Prometheus classes (why they all have the same "unfinished" look as the Sovereign).[/QUOTE]Yes, but would you feel the same way if those FC ships had registries of 77XXX or 8XXXX? Probably not. They all had the same design attributes that the Enterprise-D, the Enterprise-E, and the Defiant had, which in my mind makes them newbuilds. Although I agree with you that the Sovereign class probably came about so soon because of Wolf 359, I think the other FC ships did as well, regardless of what their registries are. I certainly don't think they're refits of older designs. If that was the case, then why didn't Starfleet refit all the Excelsiors, Mirandas and Oberths to look more modern? (and I don't consider making the warp grilles on the Miranda's engines glow blue to be a refit.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
