[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daryus Aden: [QB] If you're talking about building a fleet with multi-role capability it would be more likely that they would veer towards building specific task warships and multi-role exploratory vessels. We can also consider a scenario such as: * Using fleet carriers to dispatch numerous 2-3 man craft with short ranges and high firepower. * The carriers themselves would be protected by their own weapons and a battle group(With large troops transport vessels, warships, medical & supply ships etc). I'd wager that starfleet would want to put some kind of advanced propulsion system into their ships (such as a quantum slipstream drive) as it would provide them with a significant military edge, as the fleet would be far more mobile than any of those involved in the last war. Also, you'd want to install large solar defense networks (for example like the one in the Chintoka system) so that so many fleets are not tied up on gaurd duty. These solar defense networks would need to be a combination of mines, weapons grids and -once again- high powered short range fighters. With more mobile fleets, lower numbers of troops needed (due to small fighters) and more specific training (ie. specific training as combat pilots) you'd lower the demand in resources and manpower considerably. As Timo & others mentioned above manning these vessels is a key issue. Industrial production may be able to produce a certain number of vessels, but how many can you actually maintain, deploy & how many personnel will you need to train? With the high level of technical expertise needed you'd have to say that manpower would be a (if not the) major constraint. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
