I've ranted about Admiral Morrow saying that the Enterprise is 20 years old when it's really 40 before, but...
PNQ: What do you think should be the design life span of a starship? Of course you'd want them to last awhile, but how long? What's an appropriate balance between having current tech and sticking with a reliable design that's easy to repair? This also ties into the next question... PNQ2: We see Excelsior classes all over the place in the 24th century, are they all a hundred years old undergoing regular refits to replace the aging parts? Or is there a shipyard out there that's been cranking them out using an efficient design? PNQ3: I know that the Enterprise-B variant didn't exist until after TNG, but why did they never appear in DS9 or VOY? PNQ4: Why did we never see any Ambassador-classes in the DS9 fleets? Was the design of the Enterprise-C so faulty that no amount of redesign would result in a battle-worthy ship?
