[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I'm just going to chip in with my $0.02 regarding the Galaxy at Wolf 359... There are many examples of ships that are supposed to be grand, superior designs, that end up performing much less successfully than heralded. The Titanic is an extreme example, for instance. I agree that the Galaxy-class is definitely one of the best... but in being the jack-of-all-trades, it falls slightly behind in the combat arena, since so many of its systems are devoted to scientific and civilian systems. Therefore, when the ships are thrown into all-out combat, they might be a little disadvantaged. Also, consider that the Galaxy-class is hampered by the fact that there are very few (or relatively few) ships of the class in operation. Therefore, ANY lost ship becomes a Big Deal. However, you have to consider the circumstances. Losing a Galaxy-class starship at Wolf 359 is not a mark of "shame" on the design... merely a sad addendum to the already tragic losses of the battle. ____________________ I've got a question that no one else apparently mentioned before: [b]We know that the [i]Defiant[/i]-class project was started in reaction to the Enterprise's news about the Borg. The [i]Defiant[/i] was supposed to be a "Borg Buster" starship... so where was it during the BOBW crisis? Most likely the design/prototype was not completed or ready for service when the Borg cube appeared... but was there some attempt to launch the uncompleted ship and take on the cube?[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
