[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] I don't think it was me said any such thing. I will await some creative searching by some smartass like Jason to conclusively prove me wrong on that, however. [/qb][/QUOTE]Too bad: I think it's an original and smart idea. [i]Of course[/i] it's not yours. ;) I always figured the Warbird's main psychological weapon (within the Empire) was the cloaking device. More because it's unknown (to the general populace within the Romulan Empire) how many ships the Romulans operate and their whereabouts (possibly unknown to anyone but the Preator himself- how better to keep the populations in check with a limited number of starships?). Kirk's Starfleet being somehow superior to that of the DS9 era is laughable: encounters with neighboring powers were far less frequent back then (as the Fed- indeed everyone's territory- was far smaller). The larger the Federation becomes, the more reliant it will be on ships to patrol it's boundries- the practicality of starship construction would mean that older starships would be used and refittede as long as possible (particularly in sectors within the federation where it's unlikely they'll encounter hostile starships). As Picard put it,[i]Starfleet is [b]not[/b] a military organization."[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
