[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] The Galaxy class as the explorer and the Nebula class as the supplement for the Galaxy class. The Akira class is the battleship version where it would protect the Federation. --- Doesn't make sense, if the Akira doesn't have her 15 tubes right off the bat, she's actually too much of a step down from the Galaxy or the Nebula to be a battleship. The Akira class at this time had parts that resembled the Galaxy class parts, necelles, escape pods, bridge, etc. --- A lot of Starfleet ships use similar designs for components such as nacelles, escape pods, bridge, etc. However before Wolf 359, Starfleet brought in a few Akiras to fit them as large torfp platforms. This basically is that the ships would launch a massive torpedo attack in which hopefully the Borg wouldn't be quick enough to adapt to the large volley and destroy or severely damage the ship. --- Once the Borg adapted to a weapon once, it's supposedly useless no matter how much you throw at them. Of course, from VOY and ST:FC, you'd think different. ^_^'''' However they weren't ready for Wolf 359, so afterwards these ships were completed and let back into service. Later however a basic refit for the class which was to replace the escape pods, nacelles, bridge with the latest designs from the Sovereign class. --- Reworking existing ships with different escape pods and nacelles seems like a waste of time. Especially if you have to rework the hull to accomindate the EP, which can come in square (if you go by the assumption that's the standard) to the newer hexegon(?). If you rework the nacelle, you might need to restudy the ship's warp field geometry and so on. O_o I really think the Akira came after Wolf 359. The NCC number dating system isn't known for its reliability. How old would the Soverign class be, since one of its ships has a 1701? ^_~ [/QB][/QUOTE]
