[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dhunter: [QB] Not all ships spend a year in testing but such large ships like Sovs and Galaxies take time to get used to , also most Captains and Engineers like to configure their ships differantly so I imagine that would take some time and then a couple of months of contenues warp travel to test out the drive then a month of testing the sensors and the like its basicly the same as what the US Navy puts its ships through Recently i watched a documentery on the construction of the USS Harry Truman , the US's newest Aircraft Carrier , they said that when the Carrier was seaworthy , not complete but sea worthy they would send it on sea trials for 2 months to test out all its systems and finish some of the intallations at sea , maybe that is what SF does , they send out the ship with all it needs to Fly to test out its core systems that way if theres a problem they can catch it before they pour more time and resources into the other systems then if that went off right they install the rest of the stuff and then test that , then as the last step they send her out for a final test and to give a chance for the crew to get used to the ship. this might take 7-8 months , the other 4 months would probley have the ship showing itself off on Earth and Stuff then it would receive its first orders. Case in point , the USS Enterprise-B left spacedock incomplete , maybe it was going to start its teasting mission after it droped off Kirk and the rest at the end of its christening. Also id like to say that The Vorlon does have a point , their could be more Sovereigns by now but not 10 maybe 3 - 4 at the most if anything the Dominion War might have slowed production of the Sovereign , Sovs are very valnarble to a large fleet of small fighter types , for example if you walk through a bunch a Gnats (Those little bugs that get stuck on your windsheild) they annoy the hell out of you some get in your mouth, others your nose , now imagine those Gnats as Ships with Phasers and your the Sov , sure you could smack some off but the remaining ones would have already caused the damage , The way i think of it Starfleet would have slowed production of the Sov and opted to use those resources to build more defiants and other small ships like that to fight the Jem Hadar Attack ships. ======================================================= "I am First Omet'iklan, and I am dead. As of this moment, we are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly, for we are Jem'Hadar.
