[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ace: [QB] Because it's cute that way. No, seriously. Anyway, I've also had the notion that the Sovereign wasn't built to replace the Galaxy class (as fanboys and Starship Spotter, unfortunately, state). A class like the Galaxy with a huge design timeframe is replaced when not even one ship has reached it's designed max. life of 100 years? I don't think the USS [i]Galaxy[/i] herself was even 20 years old when the [i]Enterprise[/i]-E arrived on the scene. In TNG, the [i]Enterprise[/i]-D didn't do as much "seeking out new life, exploring strange new worlds, and going boldy where none have gone before" as one would think an "Explorer" type ship would do. In fact, she did quite a bit of ferrying, defensive patrolling, and just running back and forth within the Federation. So... Perhaps this is what the Sovereign was meant to do? Take on the tasks of ferrying (she's got the speed), defensive patrolling (she's got the teeth), and just running back and forth (she lacks the resources to go out on an 8 year mission). And, while people always like to criticize the Galaxy class for having families, would anyone with a loved one want to go out for 8 years by themselves? With the exception of Picard's senior staff, I doubt every Starfleet officer who wants to see the unknown is single (and yes, I know about certain $spoilers$ for Nemesis). So, now that Starfleet has their new Sovereign, the Galaxy class ships go back out like they were designed to do in the first place and explore the far reaches of, how fitting, the galaxy.
