How do you imagine it?

based on the Constitution in this universe I would not be surprised to see a ship of similar size to a Borg cube, two to three kilometers long... imagine the spacedock to contain it

can't remember, does the Ent-E has the Ten Forward?

A redo of Birth of the Federation. There are alot of mods out there that have done a great job. Though they are stuck with the engine. So it will crash on huge fleet battles and it takes forever to do each turn in the battle. Like have a fleet of 1,000 ships vs. 1,000 ships assuming it doesn't cras...

Everyone was doing it, to great effect - the Italians turned the Andrea Dorea s from next to useless to modern fast battleships, the Japanese turned the Kongo s from battlecruisers into fast battleships, the UK transformed Renown and gave the QEs a new lease of life (especially QE herself and Valia...

Not necessarily. Think about the various rebuilds of pre/early-WW1 battleships in the 30s and 40s - depending on the precise class involved the refits massively improved their firepower, protection, armour, anti-aircraft armament, speed or engine efficiency, usually some combination of several of t...

That depends how successfully you can upgrade GCS ships to new technology. Although they might have been designed with a longer service life in mind, the technological leaps introduced for combating the Borg and the Dominion (especially in the Defiant) could mean that the GCS far to outdated and co...

I never felt the Sovereign was a direct successor to the Galaxy class like the Excelsior was to the Constitution and the Ambassador to the Excelsior and of course the Galaxy to the Ambassador. To me it seems to be a more contemporary type of ship. Sort of like for example, if the original JFK CVN-6...

Good point. Didn't really think about that. Offhand does any other ship have this feature? The Sovereign : https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/memory-gamma/images/c/ca/Sovereign_Warp_Core.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090111184855 to the contrary the Intrepid got only one flux if i remember correctly...

Yeah I totally agree on the above. And like ENT, because it is set before other shows, the sloppy writing of the early shows cripple it in later shows, ENT simply couldn't come back from the bad decisions of Season 1. Star Trek never went wrong with setting shows in the future, the second things we...

I noticed that the reaction chamber is as large (more or less) as that of the GCS, so my idea like yours is that the output power is roughly similar, at the price of a much lower efficiency.

I wonder what the service was like in the time period around the Dominion war/Borg stuff, when Star Fleet went from floating hotels/Science ships to a military. Were there a lot of sciency type people resigning commisions or requesting commissions on stations or planet side. I would imagine some fo...
