[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ace: [QB] The Galaxy class was supposed to go on missions lasting decades or more. Would you want to serve on a ship without family for that long? Would you really want to serve on the E-E. I don't know about you, but the whole ship seems so dark and closed in just like the Intrepid was so cold (everywhere, all you see is metal gray). Where's the human/whatever-alien-you-want touch? I loved the wooden railing on the bridge, the warm colors of the corridors, etc. All these "better" and newer ships seem to want a cold, metal approach. Even in the quarters! In the Dominion War, the Galaxy class did very well. It held the lines and dished out some powerful phaser blasts. Can you name just one vessel of this class that was seen destroyed in the war? As to the various Galaxy class ships: USS Galaxy: Yes, it did get a hole (not too big) in the Engineering section from an orbital weapons platform, but it survived to continue fighting in that same battle! Other ships including the Excelsior and Akira(!) were destroyed fairly easily as you recall. USS Yamato: I think any ship including the Sovereign would fare the same under the virus. USS Enterprise: Stupid Riker! Fire some torps and phasers at the BoP instead of asking for damage reports! You can fire 10 at a time! Gosh! USS Odyssey: Same as the Yamato. Ironically, if Keogh hadn't transferrred shield power to weapons, his ship would probably have survived (he turned off his shields when the Jem'Hadar weapons penetrated through them, but a ship should not be able to pass through). USS Venture: Looks like Starfleet recognizes that the ship needs some better aft phaser coverage and has added some phaser arrays on the nacelles (thus protecting them). The "better" Sovereign has those ridiculously long nacelles that would definitely be a liability in the close quarters combat seen in "Sacrifice of Angels" etc. The Sovereign also has very poor aft phaser coverage. I like the Galaxy class. It represents what Star Trek means. A "star journey." It's great to show the might of the Federation, the "nice" side of the Federation, and it would be a nice place to serve on in a long mission to explore the frontier. [/QB][/QUOTE]
