[QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist II: [QB] I always felt the "D" was flawed in the concept of being the "Family Ship". To me it was the equivalent of having a Nimitz with a rock climbing wall on the island and an elevator that doubled as a pool. Starfleet is a military organization and throughout the Trek history, starships had BAD things happen to them. Why would ANYONE want to bring their spouse and children along when there are a billion horrible ways you might end up watching them die? I understand they were trying to make them seem more advanced than TOS days, but it just was NOT a feasible scenario in my eyes. The Connies to me were the equivalent of a Nimitz class in today's naval context with their main threats being the D-9 (Kirov equivalent) and the Warbird (Alpha equivalent). Vessels capable of doing in a Nimitz but not in the same caliber. The Galaxy class just never really seemed to be as formidable in comparison to the NeghVar or Super Warbirds. The Sovereign goes back to what I think a Federation starship should be, sleek made to fight and armed to the gills. The size of the ship doesn't determine the interaction and feel of the crew, the Captain and top officers do. If the Captain is a "By the Book" type, the ship will be uptight and if he's less formal, the crew will be as well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
