[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] I think the success of the Miranda over the Connie is twofold: Firstly, the Miranda seems more modular- and more readliy adaptable for specific uses: we've seen several variants and mission-profiles (freighter, destroyer, cruiser). Secondly, I think the Connie's unique shape would require a larger crew than practical for downgraded vessels. The Miranda in freighter mode can operare for missions with as few as 12 crewmembers (assuming the freighter configuration with minimal weapons) whereas I cant imaging the Connie really working for long without a much larger crew (yes, we saw the ship half-ass manned by Kirk's gang a few times, but I'm talking about missions lasting for months- possibly even years). An aside, the Connie has some serious blind-spots regarding weapon-coverage that the Miranda (rollbar equiped) does not- making the Miranda a better destroyer for the Dominion War fleet actions. The notion of the Connie serving in "home fleets" is a good one- they possibly act as trainers, patrol ships and even starliners. I can easily see a Connie refitted as civillian transport- possibly adding a secondary shuttlebay where the torpedo launcher is. [/QB][/QUOTE]
