[QUOTE]Originally posted by The First One: [QB] It's been a long day: I'm tired, I'm bored, and I've been banging on about this too much. I keep having this feeling I've not put my case, my own theories, across well enough. Look at any naval ship: you can always tell what it's meant to be. You can't with a Starfleet ship. There's hardly any two classes that you can put next to each other and say "these two are meant to do the same thing." Starfleet isn't about a giant interstellar game of Battleships. When I got into this subject, it was through the original Utopia Planitia. That incredibly non-canon conjectural stuff that said "Starfleet saw the need for a new ship that did this, this, this and this, while doing this" - not "Starfleet decided to build another type of Frigate." They're generalists. They don't DO specifics. One gets the impression that they'd never built a ship quite as specific as the [i]Defiant[/i] before. Admiral Hanson said of Lt. Cdr. Shelby "she got us thinking in different ways" - was this what he meant? [/QB][/QUOTE]
