[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] The problem with the GCS, IMO, wasn't with the ratio of science equipment to defensive armament. In fact, we don't even know if this problem extended farther than the Enterprise. It seemed to me that the misuse of the Enterprise in particular had more to do with Starfleet Command, and may have had a great deal to do with the ship being the Flagship of the Fleet ... I mean, what better to send on a diplomatic crisis? "Hey, look, we're involved, we care, we sent our FLAGSHIP, what MORE do you want?!" I don't know if we ever saw a GCS doing what it was meant to do. The closest we saw was in TNG's "Pen Pals", an episode which took place over a period of months (might've been weeks), as the Enterprise was involved in detailed research of a star system. In the same vein, at the beginning of "Tin Man" ... however, in that case, the ship is merely doing more detailed research on a system already charted. I always imagined the typical, long-range mission of the Galaxy-Class as star-charting. Fly around, locate a system, do a detailed research assignment -- maybe a month or so, fly off, find another system, repeat for a period of years. [/QB][/QUOTE]
