[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Another possible multi-part explanation: -Akira and Nebula are fast deep-space explorer ships, thus they got to the scene from faraway locations (Galaxies might have, too, but there are probably much fewer of those overall than there are Nebulas or Akiras). -Saber is a tiny ship, so perhaps it doesn't go far. Thus, there would be a swarm of such local-defence vessels near Earth to begin with. -Norway is a one-off ship never seen later. Perhaps something experimented on at the big research facilities of Utopia Planitia or Earth's yards? -Steamrunner seems old and ugly and not very fast if sleekness is a measure of speed (and it often seems to be!). These could be warships with no peacetime use, perhaps "floating docks" for planetary assaults (they do look like today's amphibious assault floating docks to me). Since ST:FC takes place in peacetime, the ships would be stocked in garrisons, possibly near Earth. Note that they fare extremely poorly in the battle, getting blown up in high numbers by single "belly shots". I can't see any of them taking a single hit and surviving, even though the other ship types do take hits without blowing up. The odd thing about that battle was the absence of Excelsiors. Those are normally everywhere. Did they form some sort of an outer defence perimeter and were all destroyed there? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
