[QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [QB] The Borg was just crippled. They will eventually rebuild what they lost and some day the Borg Queen will show herself again. It's not like Starfleet is the only ones that are slow. Look at the Klingons... they use the same designs for the past 200 years. The Romulans appear to use only Warbirds. Now I am guessing that someone will say this actually smart, but it's not. Building a few hundred large ships with only a few purposes in life as opposed to building a large multi-thousand fleet with a well rounded out fleet. I'm sure in times of war, all you would want is a large fleet of Defiants, Galaxys, Akiras and Sovereigns. Everyone would want that sort of fleet, but you have to look at it this way: Before 2365 or even 2370, what was Starfleet doing? They were exploring because the only threats was from the Romulans who rarely show themsevles, the Klingons were their allies, the Cardassians have ships mostly inferior to Starfleet's and they have a treaty, and the Borg only send one ship. So why build a large fleet of warships that would be useless in peacetime? Like I said before, the Excelsior and the Miranda classes especially the ones we have seen in the war, are actually somewhat newer. I highly doubt that the 42xxx range Excelsiors are crabon copies of the USS Excelsior herself. Hell, I am willing to bet that the interior and the technology of the Excelsior looks nothing like what we saw her in ST6 (that's if she's the same Excelsior). Afterall, the Lakota was upgraded and she came close to finishing off the Defiant. That's impressive since not even an entire fleet of Dominion ships were able to accomplish. No, the Iowa class are not obsolete. They are just useless nowadays. When's the last time you saw two ships duking it out with guns or even missiles? Even for shore bombardment, do you really need a million dollar a day battleship doing what two smaller and cheaper ships can do? Did the navy really need those 16" guns? [/QB][/QUOTE]
