[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a [i]Miranda[/i]-class [i]U.S.S. Intrepid[/i]. I don't agree that its a demotion going from a [i]Constitution[/i]-class to a [i]Miranda[/i]-class. Although I haven't calculated the total square footage, it appears that the [i]Miranda[/i]-class has the same internal volume as the refit [i]Constitution[/i]-class and it probably has more hangar space, although this cannot be confirmed. The [i]Reliant[/i] also gave the [i]Enterprise[/i] a good thrashing, so the two vessels are similar in combat capabilities. Would an experienced starship captain have defeated Kirk in the opening exchange? And who can say that the vessel is under-armed with the two forward-facing pulse phaser cannons and an extra two photo torpedo tubes. Certainly there were enough intervening years to have a [i]Miranda[/i]-class [i]Intrepid[/i] and then have an [i]Excelsior[/i]-class [i]Intrepid[/i] NCC-38907 as her replacement and then have the lead ship of the [i]Intrepid[/i]-class. Which isn't a demotion either because the [i]Intrepid[/i] is one tough little ship. It probably would have given the refit [i]Lakota[/i] a run for its money. So if the [i]Yorktown[/i] was repainted [i]Enterprise[/i] NCC-1701-A, does that mean that the solar sail failed and the east Indian captain, portrayed by tennis pro Vijay Amitraj, perished along with his crew? Starfleet just needed enough time to tow back the starship to space dock, clean out the dead bodies and throw in some air freshener, and repaint the interior and exterior of the ship? Virtually instant replacement [i]Enterprise[/i] NCC-1701-A. :D Or do people think that the [i]Ti Ho[/i] was floating around space dock for a while, and then repainted as NCC-1701-A? There seemed to be plenty of interior space in Space Dock, so there could be many more vessels inside it that we didn't see during [i]Star Trek IV[/i]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
