[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Well what we saw of the war were mostly offensive actions, which is where you're going to want the bulk of your big guns (hence all the Galaxies.) Next to those beasts and going up against Galors and Dominion Cruisers Mirandas are more useful as escorts and destroyers, whereas Connies (that is if there are many left in active service) would have been relegated to the home systems. Indeed there could in theory have been some guarding Betazed when it fell, Odo (or was it Worf?) did say the defence system was outdated and the main fleet was off on manoeuvres. This would also be consistent with the Connie that was at Wolf 359 as I imagine most of that fleet was scrambled from the surrounding systems. As for the Miranda question, remember that most of the Mirandas we've seen in TNG and beyond are in the NCC-2xxxx ish range, so clearly the design was given a second lease on life at some point in the early 24th century, possibly because they are easier to build and more adaptable to new technologies and multiple roles. Though there are probably a few stragglers from the old NCC-18xx runs they would be few and far between and mostly on milk run duties. The Connies on the other hand were simply superseded by the Excelsiors and didn't receive a new production run, so those that were left from Kirk's era would become rarer and rarer as time went on. By the 2370's I'd be surprised if there were more than a dozen left in all of Starfleet and most of them wouldn't be up to going toe to toe with a Jem'Hadar figher. [/QB][/QUOTE]
