[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] I'm of the mindset that the bit in TNGTM about the '6 initial ships followed up by 6 more spaceframes' was: 1. Just 'down payment' for the Galaxy Project, Starfleet has thousands of ships, building only 6 operational ships of a single class whose design purpose is intensive use is just silly and pointless 2. A decision that was changed after the TNGTM was printed, and Starfleet neglicated to issue to new version of the TM, instead only updating the electronic version, available in PADD-friendly formate to save paper 3. Part of Starfleet's ongoing disinformation program intended to confuse Threat Forces, "These are not the Galaxies you are looking for" In all seriousness, I don't think even Starfleet could have pumped out enough Galaxies in the short period before the official start of the Dominion War to form "Galaxy wings", as a part of a conscious force buildup effort. That would require shipyards to focus on producing too many "too many eggs in one basket". Thus, Galaxies must have been in a steady rate of production for a while before the conflict to explain their numbers during the war. There really is no reason why Starfleet would stop at so few Galaxies, considering the size and resources of the Fleet, not to mention the amount of time invested to design and research the vessel, plus the great need for a new and superior Explorer-type vessel. It was, IMO, purely a bad call on the part of GR, trying to keep the Galaxy rare and special. I certainly don't believe anything the DS9TM says about the Galaxies. [/QB][/QUOTE]
