[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Well, 'em big guns and armor is a problem all by itself, yes. But people seem to be forgetting the other problem the "Endgame" solution created. Namely, the two Janeways managed to piss off the Borg worse than ever before. It would make sense for the Borg to now see the Feds as a real threat. No more pussyfooting around with single cubes on intricate missions of reconaissance or time-tampering. A good solid invasion with, oh, a dozen cubes should finish off Starfleet and its allies easily enough. The Feds cannot discount that possibility, not when Janeway can stand witness to such assaults and their success against civilizations more advanced than the 2370s UFP. I'm pretty sure that even the most enlightened UFP decisionmakers would happily waive all temporal protection laws (And most of the civil rights [Heck, they could even accept a salary decrease! Or perhaps I shouldn't exaggerate.]) in order to have the one and only Borg-proof technology installed on a greater number of Starfleet ships. Whether the known time-traveling agencies would interfere is another matter, but it's pretty much clear that if they do, then Earth gets assimilated. And Braxton's timecop organization and Daniels' folks both seem to be associated with Earth somehow, so they wouldn't want to take away Starfleet's new toys. Frankly, I don't want to watch what happens next in the TNG era. I want to jump forward a couple of decades or centuries to check if the Feds are guerilla-fighting desperadoes without a homeworld, or an almighty galactic superpower with allies and adversaries on a wholly new level.
