And they tend to survive troubles that would wipe out entire fleets 8)

And then on some occasions, some of them *cough*D*cough* blow up when something scrapes the paint.

Ahh yes..........the magic of starfleet engineering

Didnt the original Enterpirse last like 21 years?

Yep.........hence the MOSTLY disclaimer. But, no Enterprise since them had Scotty in the engineering room.

The E-D did for awhile.

Then they threw him out.

Well, the ship nearly blowing up every week proved that they made the wrong choice there.

Alas, very true

I have a feeling Scotty in the E-D's engine room in Generations would've meant a saved ship.

Although Kirk in charge would've meant a smeared Klingon ship a hell of a lot sooner.

Crewman "Sir, they've found a way to penatrate our shield!"

Kirk "Scotty, find a way to repair the shields. Fire all phasers! Again! Again! Now, ready a full spread of photon torpedeos. FIRE!!!!"

BoP goes boom.

I think one full spread would blow the oversized fighter to bits, personally.

EDIT: think Littoral Combat Ship vs Kirov-class Battlecruiser...

Just out of curiosity, DID the E-D ever fire a full spread of 10 torps at once?

I know they let loose on the Borg Cube, and the Husnock ship; I can't think of any other examples off-hand.

I remember with the Borg, they were pumping them out pulse style.........but for the life of me I can't remember the Husnock battle................must be getting old
