[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [qb] Just when I thought this thread was over... Two points about J's argument: 1. What role did big, multi-role starships serve? Explorers. What were Connies, Excelsiors, Ambassadors, and Galaxies said to be? Biggest of their time, and used for exploring. Hence, they were all of the same role and purpose, Explorers. [/qb][/QUOTE]The same role the Galaxy eventually had: Defense in times of conflict and limited exporation (as a class)in times of peace. I imagine the Ambassador and Galaxy classes were used as explorers mabye 70% of their operational lifetimes at most and as troubleshooters within the Federation the rest of the time. Theses are the Federation's Big Guns and they'd want them handy in case of trouble. Eventually the newer, more powerful classes free up ships like the Ambassador to really explore: that's why the Stargazer was out making exciting First Contact missions while the Ambassador's were used for patrols like the "C" was. It's really the only way I could justify ships like the Stargazer being a explorer when Ambassador class ships were available too. [/QB][/QUOTE]
