[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Nobody said Starfleet was pacifist. If they were pacifists they would have so many weapons or fight in wars. Of course they're not exactly militant either. Where most fan designs like this fall over is in failing to understand that while most Starfleet ships are capable (if not exactly consummate) warships, they are not designed with offensive capabilities in mind, like say a Klingon or a Jem'Hadar vessel. It's not a choice between militant an pacifist as some would claim (for a start, true pacifists wouldn't even defend themselves) it's the difference between being aggressively offensive and being tactically defensive. Sorry to go on, but this is one of my major peeves about Starfleet fan designs and has been since I started releasing my doodles on the net. It's also the reason why I stopped reviewing JoAT submissions for Bernd, I just couldn't stand the endless torrent of over powered warships with names like "Dominator" and "Battle Queen" which to me (regardless of the artwork) is totally at odds with Gene's ideal for a more "evolved" humanity and displays a sense of jingoism that I'd hope we would have grown out of. Now while I wouldn't put this design in that category per see, it certainly leans in that direction, which to me isn't "our" Starfleet. As I said before, it's the Mirror Universe Starfleet. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
