[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama IV 8.24.04: [QB] Well, I was thinking that during TNG, the loss of ~50 ships at Wolf 359 was to them a staggering loss to the fleet. Otherwise Earth is just plain piss poorly defended suggested my the complete lack of nearby ship, which I guess we have seen in the case of "Generations" and "Paradise Lost". Anyway, the following year for the blockade at the Klingon/Romulan border it was a real pain to muster up ~20 ships for that. Now, I realize the Federation is huge and they were probably spread out pretty thin, but they sure seemed to have resource issues when it came to organizing any sort of fleet, so to me, 8000 seems to be a bit of a stretch. Regarding: [QUOTE] Tacking Into The Wind"[DS9-7] claims that the Dominion War enemy forces (Dominion in the AQ, Cardassia, and the Breen) had 30,000 ships (the 1,500 Klingon warships that could be modified to resist the Breen weapon would be outnumbered 20 to 1). One would hope the Federation/Klingon/Romulan Alliance had at least half that many warships. The 30,000 figure correlates well with reaction to the Dominion loss of 2,800+ ships in "Sacrifice of Angels"[DS9-6], which might've constituted a loss of as much as half the Dominion fleet in the Alpha Quadrant at that point. [/QUOTE]It was actually in "When it Rains...", anyway, wasn't it 1100 Klingon ships ready for deployment = 22,000 Dominion/Cardassian/Breen ships (20:1)? Another number to add to the mix is the combined Rom/Kli/Fed ships wiped out by the Breen, that was a fleet of 312. The thing I am floored about, regarding the battle to retake DS9, is how Feds were outnumbered 2:1, yet 1/3 of their fleet was able to break through the lines!! I understand there was the third fleet that was to join that they left without, it is possible that they joined later and were part of the 200 that broke through? It just seems strange that the Feds are suddenly so superior in that battle but earlier sucked it up so bad when the 7th fleet was annihilated, just how many ships did the Klingon reinforcements contribute to save 1/3 of the fleet? [/QB][/QUOTE]
