[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I gather the logic of construction could actually be the reverse. Starfleet would build a large number of (relatively) cheap Nebulas and a handful of expensive Galaxies, using a common saucer design. Most of the Nebulas would save even more by omitting expensive stuff from the saucers, like windows, lifeboats, impulse engines... In an emergency, all the ships would be capable of saucer separation. But the Galaxies would also be capable of saucer reattaching, and the small number of these ships would serve the larger total of ships sporting the compatible saucer. A nebula without a saucer would be a wreck; a Galaxy without one would be a towtruck. Reattaching seems like a difficult and expensive thing to do. And the special ability to recover lost saucers would seem like something to be put on a limited number of ships only. And Galaxies do seem to come in lower numbers than Nebulas.
