[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] I never realised that Generations and STVI occured in the same year. Still, the point remains. There's possibly 11-odd months between them. Plenty of time for the Ent-A to get destroyed, and some bright spark at HQ to say "Hey, that new Excelsior that's due to launch at the end of the year...why don't we name it 'Enterprise'? We'll have a big conference, invite Kirk and whoever else we can get of his old crew...it'll inspire people to join up, and stuff. Everyone loves an Enterprise!" [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb]Why spend a year refitting an antiquanted starship when you can build a new Miranda (or possibly even an Excelsior) in the same timeframe that will serve far longer?[/QUOTE][/qb]Because it almost certainly takes far longer than a year to build a Miranda or an Excelsior. Remember how long the Enterprise-D supposedly took? [QUOTE][qb]Also consider that the other major powers would be producing starships of Excelsior quality and firepower to maintain a balance of power and the connie is severely lacking by comparison. [/qb][/QUOTE]But, er, it's not that easy. If it was, every Starfleet ship during TNG would have been a Galaxy. Every Klingon ship in DS9 would have been a Vor'cha. Every Dominion ship would have been the bloody big one. Besides, a ship does more than simply shoot at the enemy. Is Starfleet going to throw away a whole load of useful ships simply because they look a bit old? I can see them regulating them to smaller duties, and decommissioning them on an individual basis (like Sonnie says above), but an entire class all at once? Daft. Besides, what's going to scare a Klingon ship more? A single Excelsior, or 5 refit-Connies? [/QB][/QUOTE]
