Lulz is another word for lolz which is another word for lol. Major is an adjective but in this case I made a joke treating it like a military rank. What I was saying, my friend, is that I found your post very funny.

I kinda liked the Intrepid Class design. Then again I love the Prometheus Class so what do I know?
Having Janeway command a Nebula Class instead of Voyager leaves me a bit uneasy for some reason. Maybe because it was her first command as Captain: instead of giving her a nice big ole Galaxy Class she gets the top of the line Intrepid Class since it's a stepping stone. Picard commanded the Stargazer before the Enterprise-D so let's assume that you get a bigger and more prestigious ship if you didn't screw up your first one.

I'd say losing the Stargazer was a pretty big screw up. He lost the E-D and got a better ship after that too. Since Janeway got VOY back she'll get a Miranda, then, if that survives, an Oberth.

I dunno, I'm starting to think that Starfleet doesn't want its captains to bring back their ships, since the ones that do keep getting promoted to Admiral.

Picard getting the E-D proves to me that there was another command between the Stargazer and the Enterprise. And I think it was something pretty important that no one seems to know about.
As for losing the E-D, sure, but he saved an entire solar system. He's also a respected negotiator.
Oh, and for the record... I always thought the Nebula was just a so-so design. It was cool in that it was one of the first new ships we got to see in the Next Gen era and that it showed a design evolution, but other than that it was kind of thrown together. Nice for what it was, but definitely not a star.

It's also a second-stringer. SWACS, fleet ops, SAR, science platform... Not a long-range or high-speed Scout or Explorer, which is what Voyager was calling for.
But really... Generations was the first time you saw the Nebula class? Do you only watch the movies? That ship (under other neames, and bearing slight variations) appeared in five other episodes of TNG and DS9 prior to Generations. And thanks to expanded visual effects through CG, later episodes of DS9, and Star Trek: First Contact had dozens of them. It's a workhorse, and hardly neglected.

ROFL!!!!!!!!! (though i am still uncertain if i was insulted by this or not? maybe i should ask some people in my guild on DDO? "Does my voice grate on you? especially when i scream when my newbie-cannon-of-doom [+2 Curse Spewing Repeating Heavy Crossbow of Presision] gets me agro?"
of course, considering my love affair with halflings, my guild: Halfling Commandos...

I was trying to make sense of your rambling,somewhat incoherant post and as I far as I can make out what you are saying is that producers could not afford to show the larger crew. (and why should they?)
But the Enterprise-D which was even larger HAD A THOUSAND CREW AND WE DID NOT SEE THEM EITHER. (can someone do a face count on ALL the extras seen in the entire series run? do we see enough faces to equal a 1000?)WE DON'T NEED TO SEE THEM EITHER. (total agreement)
The argument makes no sense. (I am the president of Asia. The Argument is invalid)
You are forgetting the aesthetics involved totally,namely a splayed turkey compared to an object of beauty.The ship was going away from the planet and it was not a E-D saucer which was a hideous blueish color.This looked more appealing and,I thought I wanted you,to appreciate it as a better vessal then the Voyager class which was generic looking but your arguments relate to showing the crew which makes no sense as we never saw all the crew in TNG which had a larger crew on a larger ship. (the comment about the color of the ship against visuals in the BG are probably the 1st one you said that doesnt smack of... noobishness. good, perhaps hope for you yet adawan)
we also did not see all the crew of the Loveboat either. (wow. you think Adult Swim could do a Space Ghost-Coast-2-Coast version wth new dubs?)
If you cannot muster a cogent argument then it is best to accept what is stated. (that makes me giggle, mastery of incoherance is IC to me)
I think you need to a picture on your desktop for it to grow on you. (current BG: the pic art from the Hasagawa 1/72 scale VF-0S Fighter Mode agaist a blue, partyly cloudy ocean. got it from MACROSS World)
It was highly compact,and gave a holding to my chest appearance,as it clutched the engines,and secondary hull to it's belly. (Its a modern era Miranda looking ship. beautiful like all the other cannon ships seen in the movies, sir)
You could paste a picture of it from the end of Generations. (pass. anything Macross rapes my pie hole, TU)
It had a very distinct appearance that is why I am in love with it. [/QB]
that's good. my love affair is with modern VF's. if it transforms, carries a rifle, lots of missles, looks good even when they blow the fuck up... i hump 'em.

I always had the impression he had a desk job for most of that stretch...although he did mention that the first time he saw Tasha HIS ship had shown up to the same incident as her's (and we know she was on Enterprise from the get-go) so he probably did have at least one command immediately prior to the Enterprise-D.
As for the Nebula, it's funny, I always thought it looked like a frog too...in a good way. It's a fine design, bit it's just silly to think that ANY established design is EVER going to be the lead ship in any new series. They pay the art department lots of money to design new things for a reason.
