[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] "The Intrepid class might be trouble shooters, but that doesn't make it a super warship. Even the Ent-D was running trouble shooting for half of TNG, rather than actually exploring." But unlike the Enterprise, the primary mission of the Intrepid-class is troubleshooting, while the primary mission of the Galaxy-class is exploring (Troubleshooter vs. Explorer). Hence, it's more of a police cruiser class, and since the Galaxy class is a warship in wartime, the Intrepid can be informally called a super warship because it's more of a warship than the Galaxy class. "and would mount weaponary at least equal to the Galaxy-class phaser and photon torpedoes" -ST:Mag "I would interpret this as mounting weaponary of equal type, and not a reflection of total firepower. The Galaxy out-guns the Intrepid by leaps and bounds." Nope. The word used is simply "equal." If A = B, then A can be substituted for B. If the phasers and photon torpedoes of the Galaxy class can be substituted for the weaponry of the Intrepid class, then one can't be inferior than another overall, if not in details. Besides, there is no evidence that the Galaxy outguns the Intrepid by leaps and bounds. Voyager survived a lot more than the Enterprise ever faced, without ever been to a starbase. It's technology is brand new, it's maximum speed is twice that of the Galaxy class. "I don't even want to think about the Yeager..." Why? What is your evidence? "And the Defiant's not a super warship, just a warship. All ships are mortal unless otherwise stated in the script." It's a super warship because all Federation ships are warships in wartime, while the Defiant is always a warship. Again, I used an informal though accurate term. And the mortality of ships depends not on the script but on the skills of their captains as compared to the skills of the others, how good the condition of each ship is at a particular moment, etc. Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
