[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Yeah. I can't at all see the ECA becoming part of Starfleet. Remember, SF is the military. It would be like...Shell Oil tankers becoming part of the Navy...[/QUOTE]But that's not an apt comparison. The U.S. Navy has more than enough ships in its fleet that it will never need to draft civilian ships into military service. Now look at the Earth Starfleet of the 2150's. Not really much of a "Star Fleet" at all. They have very few ships, and the ECA has been around far longer than they have, with presumably many more vessels. Take Paul's quote that no one wants to run freight anymore, and the reference in "Fortunate Son" that frieghters will soon be receiving warp 5 engine upgrades. Presumably this means that there will be perfectly good (albeit old) freight vessels that no one is using for freight runs. I find it perfectly logical that the Federation Starfleet could have inducted these vessels into service as refitted front-line explorers such as the TOS Horizon, Archon, etc., or at the least, the Mayweathers could have sold their ship to Starfleet.
