[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I don't have time to read the whole now, but looking at the first couple of paragraphs, this looks like a very informative article. For one thing, it places heavy emphasis on the [b]purpose[/b] of a warship and the threats that it is designed to counter. Starfleet ships therefore should have a clearly defined purpose as well -- even the unknown and random classes like the Challenger, Centaur, Zodiac, etc... Actually, that part about the magnitude and severity of a threat goes a long, long way towards explaining the so-called "failure" of the [i]Galaxy[/i]-class starships. The [i]Galaxy[/i] was essentially designed to counter the more-prevalent, low-level threats posed by pissiant races such as the Cardassians, Talarians, Tzenkethi, Tholians, etc. But they're not ready for enemies like the Borg. Although if we were to revise that article for Starfleet, I'd think that preparing for an unlikely threat would be much higher on the priority list, given the vast amount of unknown territory in the galaxy, and the frequency with which ultra-powerful races are discovered at random intervals.
