[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sean: [QB] Well, the Saratoga is speculatred to be a science ship. I think that SF started to "soften" between ST VI, and TNG, thus somewhat explaining the carpeted floors and relative comfort observed in TNG. The Cardassian wars happened like 20+ years eariler, the Klingons were subdued by the Khitomer Accords, and the Romulans were no where to be seen. THe borg had yet to be encountered, no one knew of the Dominion. It was a time of extreme peace ( for the Federation at least) and prosperity, like Pax Romana. So, Starfleet added a lot of luxury to their designs. And, crews were supposed to spend lots of time onboard their ships ( 5 yr+ missions) so they have to have some sort of luxury, or morale would drop pretty fast. The standard tour opf duty in most Navies is what, 6 months to a year? ( I'm sure someone will know exact numbers) The Saratoga class looks like it has no where near the amount of luxuries that a Galaxy class has. Mostlikely because they were sent on shorter missions. As technology improves to allow longer missions, and crews were out in space for longer and longer periods of time, the crews required more luxuries to maintain morale and stay effective. And the Galaxy class was like the "big experiment" with families en masse, wasn't it? I'm sure thart a few people on long durartion missions would be allowed to bring their families, and then, I'm sure that there would be a rank requirment, like leiutenant or hightr to be able to have family. THe family would also be going onboard at the understanding that they were risking their lives to do it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
