I think the GCS is a fantastic explorer, especially the latter ones. I agree it was horribally misused but for an explorer you couldnt do much better.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I like to joke about the fragility of the GCS, but Teaos has hit the nail on the head -

I agree. If the GCS was limited just to exploring new planets then it'd be a good ship, and most of its criticisms would disappear. It wouldn't be perfect, and it'd still be too problematic for my liking, but it'd be passable.

Though, the DW uprated GCS seemed to fair pretty damn well. I wonder what upgrades they made? I saw one of them get two HUGE holes blasted in it and it just kept going.

I imagine they'd have torn out all the science equipment and other non-essentials, reduced the size of crew quarters by quite a bit, and used the space they had after that to shove more power generators, shield systems and torpedoes in.

I was praying that they may have put in a breaker in their power systems. I liked seeing a ship that didn't blow up when someone trip in the tub.

Maybe thats the real reason Lt Paris was drummed out of Starfleet. He was afraid that if it got around that it was really a hairdryer accident, and not 'pilot error', he forever be picking up the soap in the penal colonys sonic shower.

Do you really need soap in a sonic shower?

Oh come on Mikey. Picture it. You and Seven of Nine together in the shower. Would you want some soap to make things more "fun"????

In that scenario, I honestly couldn't even imagine thinking about soap.
