[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] The fleet that faced the Borg in "First Contact" seemed quite similar in size and composition to that facing the Borg in "Best of Both Worlds". A scattering of [i]Defiants[/i] again being the less than significant exception. Warning times seemed similar, too. Timo Saloniemi [/qb][/QUOTE]Errorenous (too low) registries on the FC ships aside, the fleet that fought the Borg at the Typhon sector must have been [i]much[/i] larger than the one from BOBW. Starfleet has several days in BBW to assemble stsrships for defense but it seems less than a day in FC to intercept the Borg (assuing the Enterprise is not screwing arounf the NZ more than a few hours after Picard's briefing). After all, it took Enterprise E almost three hours to arrive at the Typhon sector (longer as the fight had been waged all the way to sector 001) and there were still about 20 ships left to continue the fight (that's assuming Starfleet did not have some sort of "home fleet" waiting at 001 just in case- if so, the ships that cofronted the Borg in the Typhon sector may have been all wiped out just as those at Wolf 359). That means that either Starfleet had FAR more ships readily available to confront the Borg, their new ship designs are far more durable than those of BOBW, starfleet's weaponry became far more effective and powerful (as it bypasses or eliminated the Borg Subspace Field), Starfleet had kicked their ship production into overdrive, pulled many of their more powerful starships from exploration duties along the frontier to strengthen defenses of core worlds, or (likely) some combonation of all of these factors. All of which Q could have/would have forseen as needed in the upcoming conflict with the Dominion. ...Of course, it could just as easily have been the Prophets meddeling with Sisko's life to bring him to Bajor's aid at the right time. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
