The Battle Of Gulf 359. This is beautiful
This is almost poetry. Love it!
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.
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
@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.
Borg? Sounds Swedish
Köttbullarna kommer att följa!
Börg, Börg, Börg!
Though really the Starfleet ship is more like a rowboat next to the Borg ship.
Nice! Is this ai generated?
