Voyager What if...?

[Aaron]

You think a GCS could last 180 years in the DQ/BQ?

No, I expect it to go kablooy in short order. I'm just saying that it's not without precedent for a ship to last that long, if she avoids the garbage of the week that plagued Voyager than she might make it back. But realistically the crew would just settle somewhere.

[Sionnach Glic]

True, but don't Klingon vessels have an abnormaly long hull life, anyway? While it may give some indication that it's possible for a GCS to survive as long, there's no real indication either way.

I think that's really the only indication of Klingon hull life. Yes they've had a design in ENT last into the TNG era but that doesn't mean that the TNG ships where built in ENT.

Miranda's and Excelsiors have been in use a long time though, whether they are new build or TOS era builds is unknown to me.

[Sionnach Glic]

Fair point.

[SuperSaiyaMan12]

Again, no Galaxy-class bashing, please.

[Sionnach Glic]

Hey, you're the one who turned it into a discussion of the GCS's flaws.
Besides, the thread's run its natural life now. We've discussed how a GCS would fare in an Intrepid's place, and reached our conclusions.

You substitute a Galaxy for the premise of VOY. What did you expect? If you had swapped Voayager into TNG the same thing would have happened.

[stitch626]

Ok, so what about a Galaxy without the major and pointless flaws?
If it encountered the same speed boosts, I could see the trip being much more comfertable. It would do better in many of the hostile encounters.

[Teaos]

Ok if it some how didnt have and WC problems ect...

Most of the enemy ships they came across apart from the Borg were around Voyagers power level, thus the GCS would do quite a bit better. I doubt the Kazon would have the balls to take them on.

It's not balls, it's the bags of rocks they used for brains. They'd try, but a GCS would open up an economy-size can of whup-a** on the Kazon.

Before I can intelligently respond to this question, I must have 2 answered first.

#1 Is it the crew of Voyager on the GCS ship?

#2 Are there civilians on board?

[Teaos]

I'd guess yes to both of them. If its not the same crew the question becomes to vague. And GCS always have civillians on board.

Cept for the Odyssey and the Battleship-class Galaxy's for the Dominion War.

[Sionnach Glic]

I'd agree with you on the War GCSs, but how do you know the Odysey didn't have any aboard? It was no different than any other GCS.

Since it went into the Gamma Quadrant. On the site and Memory-Alpha, it was said thath te Odyssey left all it's civilians on Deep Space Nine before departing.
