[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] I've thought about the Ambassador class's limited number, and came up with three theories. One, as the most advanced and largest explorer of her time, the majority of the class was sent on long range exploration missions. They're still out there. Two, there was a serious mistake in the design specification phase. The program staff underestimated the potential of the threat force the Ambassador was going to encounter, the result being an under-gunned, under-protected vessel, with limited tactical value, at least against ships its own size. Three, the Ambassador was built based on refined and matured technology based on the Excelsior class period. However mature that technology was, it was already being superceeded by new technology which was to eventually be incorporated into the Galaxy and Nebula class, making it economically efficient for a large production run of the Ambassador class only to be replaced short after. Dominion War report card: Galaxy: Did quite well, despite what people say about her. Only two were lost on screen. One was the Odyessy, the other was when the Breen unleashed its energy dampeners. Nebula: There were Nebulas in DW? Excelsior: Everyone's b!tch, gets no respect, despite being the bulk of the Federation Fleet, along with the Mirandas. We see quite a few get destroyed or damaged, but there were a lot of them to begin with. Miranda: Same as above. Akira: Gets more credit than it deserves. We don't see that many to begin with, but we saw at least two getting destroyed. One in the invasion by the Allies on Chintaka, and one when the Breen unleashed their energy dampeners. Consider there weren't many to begin with, losing two does not speak well for it. Heck, we probably saw more Galaxies than Akiras. Saber: Didn't see any in action, AFAIK. Defiant: We saw three, two was lost. Steamrunner: None seen in action, again. [/QB][/QUOTE]
