[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [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? [/qb][/QUOTE]From what I've gathered, watching episodes that actually show families as more than extras running to and fro, the point of serving on an exploration vessel is that a career reputation can be made discovering new things and between 150 member worlds and all the knowledge gained from federation allies, everything that can be discovered within the vast Federation has already been done to death. So, if you're a botanist for example, anything you might hope to contribute [i]has[/i] to be by being the very first at something new and undiscovered. Monetary desires are all a moot point so what else are they gonna do to fulfill themselves? The Federation is always shown as being this noble and upright (if a bit uptight) society where people shun thrillseeking or addictions, and to me, that only leaves exploration as a viable means of escaping mind-crushing boredom.
