[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [qb]As for the Captain's Yacht...Picard would've been better off taking a shuttle or a runabout on his little voyage, especially if he thought there was a possibility of getting into a brawl. My guess is that he took the yacht to form the pretense that hisd defiance of orders was some sort fo Captain's holiday or something. Either that, or he realized that the fans had been dying to see a captain's yacht drop off the bottom of an Enterprise for about 10 years and it might be a good time to show it.... Nah...that couldn't be it.[/qb][/QUOTE] I figured that he used the Yacht because it is bigger than a standard shuttle, has a longer range, greater cargo capacity, presumably tougher sheilds and weapons. Plus the fact that its about the only new ship in that movie that they bothered to name ;-) I don't think some of you realise just how [URL=http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/schematics/shuttle-chart-980.jpg]big[/URL] the Captain's Yacht really is. Personally I like to think that the new shuttle was called Galileo, thats what it said on the design sketch...besides, its tradition! Now that I think about it, didn't someone say that Okuda named the Federation Scout Talon-Class? [/QB][/QUOTE]
