The question is whether the Daedalus Class should appear in Enterprise.
Pros, Cons, and General Info:
1. Needed Class-filling: The NX Class gives the appearance of being more advanced than what we have seen of the Daedalus Class, especially in reference to the hull geometry for warp-driven ships. The Daedalus would be a prime candidate for a slower, older ship type, since we know Starfleet has older, slower vessels.
2. Sentimental: We might get to learn more about some of the ships lost in the past whose fate wasn't known until TOS or TNG.
3. Continuity, Dammit: While we don't know quite when the Daedalus entered service, we know the last one left the service in 2196. We also know that the Essex was in service in 2167. The only problem would be the registries, such as NCC-173 for the Essex, but one could always say that was a late-model Daedalus.
******************
On a slightly different topic . . . now that we know about the NX Class, what do you think about the conjectural assignment of the Horizon and Archon as Daedalus Class ships?

Only if Enterprise lasts for at least 15 seasons or a season is longer than a year....
I've long held the Daedalus as the first Federation design [whether it was entirely built by humans or not is not an issue. With or without alien influence, I simply believe that the ship was the first to be built under Federation authority (however it would be extremely nice if there were some advances through cooperation in this design)].
BTW, where are the Bolians?

My thought exactly, Honorable Templar Pimp. If at all, it should be outfitted with some sort of experimental weapon or sensor, just enough to outpiss those Klingens.

Yes.
They could be old ships of Earth or Earth and another planet that got commissioned in Starfleet at different times, hence NCC-173.

Nope, we've just seen a design that could be a Daedalus. Unless there is an obscure okudagram about this, we don't have a canon design for the Daedalus class (although the Horizon's registry was pretty close to the Essex's).

I want 'enterprise' to last at max 3 seasons. I want one of these senarios to happen. 1. Enterprise blows up. 2. Crew dies one by one over the season. 3. Start a war, (ie romular war)

Yes. The more TOS in Enterprise, the better.

i think a Daedalus class ship should show up and accidentally run over the Enterprise. The captain of the Daedalus would look over his shoulder, shrug, and say "whoops". that would be pretty rad.

Why do you say this, Spikey? It's so incredibly ridiculous. Jein and Okuda built the fucking thing to be the Daedalus. To say it's not, just because it's never been said explicitly onscreen, is just ignoring the facts and is really pig-headed of you.
Wow. I just blasted Spikey. I'm sorry.
