[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] You make some good points, but is the Federation really going to be in the habit of ... doing what, with perfectly good starships that just need some upgrades to keep functioning? The Galaxy Class, IIRC the technical manual correctly, was intended to be in service for a century -- there's no reason to expect that many movie-era classes weren't built with the same intention. Even if they're not used as front-line ships, Starfleet (and the Federation) has a lot of personnel to shuffle about: how many of those ships are in service as glorified transit buses? Or running boring interdiction patrols on inner trade routes. When you consider that Earth, by the 24th Century, must have a population of (extremely conservatively 10 billion), and there are over 100 member planets in the Federation (plus assorted colonies), many of which presumably have similar populations, if even only a very small fraction serves in Starfleet or in a government role with the Federation ... I just don't buy the concept that Starfleet would scrap ships simply because of their age - especially in the 24th Century. (Yeah, I know, Morrow wanted to retire the Enterprise - but that as a full century earlier). [/QB][/QUOTE]
