The Enterprise back to being a frigate, excellent.

The idea of the Enterprise-D being a flagship of Starfleet always sat uneasily, because flagships shouldn't be the ones sent out to explore strange new worlds. You use a frigate for that.

@cyd @startrek Well, you also don’t send most of your senior staff, Including the captain, on landing parties.

[-] cyd@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

If we go by historical analogies to the Age of Sail, some of the shenanigans captains got up to were pretty consistent with Star Trek (up to and including getting themselves killed by the natives, like Captain Cook). It's only modern navies that care so much about the lives of senior staff ;-)

@cyd True, I guess Hornblower participated in various hijinks even as captain.

I mean, starfleet's main objective is supposedly exploration, makes sense that their flagship would be doing that

[-] michaelgemar@mstdn.ca 1 points 1 year ago

@Damage @startrek I would think one would avoid sending one’s most powerful ship to explore — it’s rather threatening diplomatically, and it also means one’s defence of home space is weakened. It makes more sense to me to send smaller, more nimble, less threatening (and less valuable) ships into the unknown.

Eh, you need to be prepared for anything when you explore the unknown far away from your support network.
