[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] While I think we only know of 12 Connies, I believe there were plenty more than that. And while some people think the Excelsior replaced the Constitution, I believe that it was actually the Ambassador that replaced the Constitution--- with the Excelsior filling in a brand new role that Starfleet had just created. I would say the same thing for the Galaxy, it fills in a new role and doesn't replace the Excelsior or Ambassador, while the Sovereign replaces the Excelsior. On the docket next would be a brand new role, and then the replacement of the Ambassador. As for how many there are [Ambassadors], plenty. I would suggest that however many Constitutions you think there are/were the number is bigger. Not necessarily 2x, but I would say at least 50% more. As for why we never saw them. The odds of running into any specific class besides the workhorses is extremely rare [those workhorses being the Oberth, Miranda, Excelsior, and maybe Nebula]. Of course it would make sense to see other vessels unless you consider the facts of the situation. The Enterprise was performing it's duties within a limited span of influence. Within that area there might have been other vessels [we see them occasionally on the displays], but the Enterprise may never have contact with those ships. And the ships within that area would also be limited to only a two or three Ambassadors [period]. The numbers of that class, based on it being started in 2318 and continuing even into 2340's still limits the amount of ships that could have ever been built to a few hundred at the most, but I feel 150 is a more realistic number. You're talking about one or two per 5 sectors, when a ship-on-the-go [like the E-D] probably never covered more than 2 sectors a year [unless it was moving between border areas (for a while it was closer to the Klingons, then closer to the Romulans, then finally they ended up near the Cardassians)]. I can't stand it when someone says the Ambassador was a limited run, when we know for a fact that we've never seen even half of Starfleet on screen. [Now, someone is going to bring up the statements on the fleet from Wolf 359, and I want you to shutup now. The only explaination I can give for that is that it was a Fleet, not the Starfleet... might have even been the 1st fleet which would have been very important as the homeguard]. I can't stand it when someone says the Ambassador isn't around anymore--- they use the same type of arguements that people started to use after the E-D was destroyed to say that the Galaxy Class was being retired and the Sovereign Class was replacing it... OY! I need to go, I've ranted enough... [/QB][/QUOTE]
