[QUOTE]Originally posted by Trinculo: [QB] The parts from a ship that has been retired can be modified, even upgraded. This is how you can see Douglass DC-3s and other old planes in operation. Starfleet took the weapon structure, modified the weapon structure to 2373 standards, and applied them to the DS9 station. This doesn't prove the existence of operating Soyuz Class starships. Let's look at the Qualar II surplus depot. There were modern starships intact, severly damaged starships, and ancient starships. The procedure is to strip the ships of useable parts, transport them to a waiting starship which then ferries the parts to a storage yard. The starship is a starship that is no longer in active, but in reserve duty operated by a civilian crew. (This disproves what the Encyclopedias say about the USS Tripoli. A decomissioned ship would not have warp capabilty. The USS Tripoli, which comes at a set time, would pick up the parts and then ferry the parts to an assigned location. If you don't believe me, watch the episode again.) The parts are then stored and modified when used. Isn't this the argument for those kit bashed ships? Are you going to tell me there are operating Constitution Class starships in the 2360's and the 2370's? The reason for the oddity is that some of the parts of the ships were already scrapped-necks, saucers, etc. And from I understand of these ships-they are flying weapons platforms designed for short operating lifetimes. I have heard in history of militaries doing similar kinds of activities. A military gets caught short-handed, so they improvise. Let's see-I have useable parts from decommissioned ships and ships lost in action. Let's combine the parts and create a ship that has a limited mission. Quick, effective, and ready to use. I am afraid in that mass of jungled matter that is a kit-bashed ship may be the USS Enterprise or the USS Kongo. [/QB][/QUOTE]
