[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Agreed - Starfleet in the early 24th century could well have been in the same position as USN and USAF today: they have no "enemies", just "targets". The [i]Mirandas[/i] worked fine in the 2280s, so why would they not work just as fine in the 2340s? The only reason warship designs (as opposed to the ships themselves, which may get fatigued) could get "outdated" is if the mission profile somehow becomes more challenging. If there are no new or improved military opponents, there's no need for weapon improvements. And if the galaxy doesn't change physically, and no new "aspects" of it are revealed to UFP science, there's no need for sensor and research gear upgrades. An expansion of the operational theater might call for improved engines, but then again, we don't know that the UFP expanded over that period of time. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
