[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Logistically, it could make sense to draft some civilian vessels to UFP SF service. Even the USN sometimes does that, when it runs short of prepositioning ships, tankers and assorted tugs. OTOH, *politically* it might be necessary to ignore even the logistically vital Vulcan and Andorian superior starships and go for an all-Earth arsenal in the early days of the UFP SF. Perhaps the Federation is formed when the Earthlings force a peace upon the warring Vulcans and Andorians? And it is possible to conjure up a situation where Vulcan and Andorian designs aren't logistically the preferable ones. Perhaps those two races are slow to catch up with escalation in the Romulan war, and/or have their existing fleets decimated in the conflict. Rather than endure the nightmare of producing three different sets of spares, fuel, munitions etc, the Axis of Good in that war could go for a fleet that relies solely on the hardware of the most aggressively escalating participant. In this case, the Earthlings. Post-war, this simplified logistic chain is retained, and superior Vulcan designs go by the wayside (much like happened to lots of Russian hardware after the cold war).
