[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [qb] SiaB is a TNG episode with Moriarty... MiaB is a VGR episode with Andy Dick have we found an episode that could be abbreviated MOAB yet? BTW, most SotSF apologists have reconciled 'Explorer' to be the short form of 'Exploratory Cruiser' or 'Heavy' or 'Large' Exploratory Cruiser. I question whether the Ambassadors would be retypified from EXs to HCs in the post Galaxy-era (since they still seem to be quite similar in capability to the GCS) but I think the Excelsiors definitely would be (according to Okuda and Sternbach sources, Excelsior was an explorer too.. hey, at least its better than 'space control ship'.. ugggh).. [/qb][/QUOTE]I still think it's silly. The vast majority of SF ships "explore". Granted, a few will sit around Earth waiting for transwarp conduits to open (some of which are supposedly "Explorers"), a few more will be ferrying Admirals around, and some will be patrolling, but most of them seem to be designed with exploration in mind. And exploration has nothing to do with size, tactical ability or durability, which is what all the other classifications signify, but with specific missions. And I just checked, and there aren't any MOAB episodes. Measure of a Man (MOAM) comes close though... Perhaps an ENT episode called Mother of all Bolians? :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
