[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I don't find Graham's idea of a four-day battle incredible at all, if it indeed is a running battle (starts at Typhon, ends with the launch of the sphere and explosion of cube). I do think that 400 ships destroyed is a bit much - Starfleet would certainly be wiser now, and would know when to retreat. Saving the Earth simply isn't worth losing 400 ships over! [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] I'd also say the glimpse we got of the final sublight part of the battle aren't representative of the battle in general. We saw perhaps half a dozen ships get destroyed during that glimpse of perhaps five-six minutes. A ship per minute just isn't likely - Starfleet would rather give up than lose such numbers of ships on a lost cause. If a ship per minute is lost without causing more than the "heavy surface damage" Data observed, then there is no hope of saving Earth even with thousands of sacrificed ships. There would be good reasons to assume the battle got bloodier as Earth approached. The Cube was interested in getting through this time, not in stopping to assimilate the fleet. It probably simply didn't bother to destroy too many ships while at warp. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
