[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Indeed. I'm not very fond of assumptions like "E-E is the fastest starship out there" or "E-E is the most powerful warship out there" or "ships named Enterprise are the cream of Starfleet". It is true that the E-E during "FC" was "the most advanced", according to LaForge's possibly a bit chauvinist opinion. But apart from that, we know little about how the Sovereigns fit into the Starfleet scheme of things. When the E-D crashed, Starfleet had three problems to cope with: 1) How to replace the ship? 2) What to do to Picard? 3) What to do to the name Enterprise? Obviously, Picard and the name went to the new Sovereign class ship. However, it's not at all sure that this ship was the replacement of the E-D in any practical sense. More probably, the E-D was replaced by the Galaxy class USS Insignificant, with Captain Nowan in command. And Picard was indeed sent to captain a very different ship with a very different mission. As for what that mission might be... Well, there's one thing we know for sure it wasn't - namely, Borg-hunting. The E-E was in fact FORBIDDEN from fighting the Borg by Starfleet. Sure, Picard said he was the problem, not the ship. But if that were literally true, then Starfleet would surely have ordered Riker to put Picard in an escape pod, launch him into the Romulan Neutral Zone, and take command of the ship and fly it to Earth ASAP...
