[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] Or, it says that they needed a new Enterprise and they figured they may as well make the new flagship the current state-of-the-art. Yes, the newest ships we've seen the Federation make are smaller than the Galaxy Class. But how do we know that hasnt always been the trend with the majority of the more rarely seen classes being smaller and the Galaxy being the vast exception. Also, "having" to scale down and "being able" to scale down are not the same things at all. Increased automation, the ability to create heavier arsenals in smaller packages, etc. might allow the Federation to spend less resources on ship construction and manpower per ship. I don't think that anyone would argue that the E was less powerful than the D even though it was smaller. So one could aruge that it is a greater success, since it requires fewer personnel and less raw materials to construct while still accomplishing the same general mission type. As for the Romulans not facing any concerns recently, it was stated fairly clearly at the end of season one that important matters had kept them away. Sounds fairly concerning. [/QB][/QUOTE]
