[QUOTE]Originally posted by bear: [QB] I really haven't finished reading this post, so if you want you can yell at me, but I figure I would give my two cents on persistence of classes over long periods of time. In the fictional universe of trek I like to think of ships in the sense of sailing vessels rather than battleship. Crossing oceans in the twentieth century has become so routine that we no longer consider the adventure it must have been two or three hundred years ago. While the marine clock is to thank for much the normalization of oceanic travel, the perception of distance in trek seem closer to that of early sailing vessels. I guess what I am trying to say is that space is like a ocean that can never be entirely mapped, so the persistence of a few class that have proven exceptional over a period of a few hundred years is anything but difficult to believe. This also fall hand in hand with my belief that trek ships are designed for performance and efficiency rather than combat, and that the designation of such vessels is based on their range not combat readiness. Lol Runs for cover����. [/QB][/QUOTE]
