[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] You forget the Raven at 90m (if you count it as a Starfleet ship). It, too, was both a science ship and a proud member of the go-too-far-and-get-killed category. The missions of the Daedaluses were more risky than that of the NX-01, considering that in both cases mentioned thus far, radio contact had been lost for a while. The Essex seems to have lost communications with Starfleet quite some time before it disappeareed, otherwise Starfleet would've known which moon they crashed on, or at least the general area. This is also supported by the "weak subspace beacon" that wasn't detected until the Enterprise arrived. Maybe that's why the Horizon used conventional radio, rather than subspace radio to send its message. The crew of 229 in such a small volume also suggest the kind of a spartan atmosphere that the NCC-1701 would feature later on. Maybe the NX-01 never really went *that* far (which will be supported by the TNG-era conception of speed and distances), and spent most of its time in the immediate neighborhood. You don't send out your best ships on such risky assignments -- the NX-01 has a great political value, being the first ship to defy the Vulcans' domination and all that. Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
