[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] I know I could probably figure it out myself, but how big is this compared to Spacedock as seen in STIII (as oppossed to the twice as big starbase version from TNG)? Because spacedock is actually a bit of an anomoly in terms of Trek sizes. Trek ships aren't big at all. Well, they are when compared to aircraft carriers and the like, but when put against mile long star destroyers, or 5 mile long Jupiter Mining Corporation haulage and mining vessels, they're quite puny. And the producers have never felt the need to make them massive to compensate. The Sovereign is still titchy compared to the Executor, and Voyager barely registers. Now, this is a big, long, roundabout way of getting to the fact that Spacedock is, well, fucking massive! Enormous! Huge! The biggest Federation design ever seen outside the upscaled Starbase version (and possibly ignoring the Argos array). It must have been an almighty task to build it. When starships seem to take years to build, something on this scale would have to have taken far, far, longer. So...WOULD there have been a precursor to the mushroom spacedock at all? Would the Earth of the late 22nd century build one? And if they did, surely they would have made them last longer than a century? Galaxies are rated to last that long, and they suffer much more wear and tear. But, er, cool design. [/QB][/QUOTE]
