[QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [QB] "i typed cruiser II because I beleive that the Sovereign-class is the predocessor to the Galaxy-class. " The Sovereign entered service after the Galaxy so it can't possibly be a predecessor. Nor is it a successor, the two ships appear to be very different in nature. They're merely different designs in use by Starfleet at the same time. The Galaxy class has not yet been made obsolete, so there's no need for a successor deisgn. And the idea that a successor would be an Explorer II is nonsense. Starfleet has been around for over 200 years, how many 'generations' of, say, cruisers has she got through in that time? Six maybe? So are current cruisers classified as Cruisers VI? A newer class may be given a designation such as Advanced Cruiser until it's been produced to enough nukbers to largely replace the older cruisers at which point the Advanced would be dropped. But that's mere speculation. And, yeah, the peacetime/wartime thing is crap. [/QB][/QUOTE]
