Well, since they left from DS9 do we think the plan could have been to send them into the Gamma Quadrant?Sionnach Glic wrote:Perhaps Voyager's mission was originaly supposed to be exploring far-flung and uninhabited regions of UFP territory, with the Maquis mission being an unexpected detour?
It was there, it was fast, and it was best equipped to handle the badlands?Mikey wrote:Possible, but doubtful. Why would they diver the one ship on a mission to the GQ to pursue a handful of guerillas?
Why would a ship being prepped for a mission to the GQ be equipped for the Badlands?Sonic Glitch wrote:best equipped to handle the badlands?

I assume it was a class quality, not ship-specificshran wrote:I wouldn't think so. People tended to say Voyager was capable of navigating the badlands with relative ease, and it was implied to be state of the art. The ship was expeced to survive their initial first mission. So it could hardly have been a suicide mission.
then again, Starfleet Intelligence kicks in, resulting in moronic decisions nonetheless.
Only ship in the sector syndrome strikes again?Tyyr wrote:Wouldn't surprise me. They might have just grabbed anyone available for the job.
I like to think that once Starfleet realized they'll have to deal with the badlands on a semi-regular basis, they went to their drawing boards to see how they could tweak upcoming ship classes to better withstand them. Of course, that would require foresight and intelligence on the part of Starfleet so I don't know how likely it is...RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote: Mikey, IIRC, there was no mention of Voyager being specially outfitted for the Badlands.
It was her maneuverability. She could dodge the tornado things (which were deadly as we see from the effects on the Galor).Mikey wrote:Possibly. It's been eons since I saw "Caretaker," so I'm not sure if Voyager was fitted out specially for optimum Badland performance.
OK, thanks.stitch626 wrote:It was her maneuverability. She could dodge the tornado things (which were deadly as we see from the effects on the Galor).Mikey wrote:Possibly. It's been eons since I saw "Caretaker," so I'm not sure if Voyager was fitted out specially for optimum Badland performance.
Well, that was random...Mark wrote:I got the impression for some reason, Voyager was the second Intrepid class ship commissioned for some reason.
