How would you have the E-D dying?

"I've got something to say! It's better to burn out, than to fade away!!!"

I don't think ANY Enterprise (excepting the E-A, because she wasn't an Enterprise for very long, and was already pretty old) would ever survive to be retired. They get the most dangerous missions, and that's just how they go.............

Plus they're the flagship: they'd be prime targets for any enemy.

If I was an enemy power, I'd actively hunt down the Enterprise. It tends to de-moralize the rest of the fleet, I would imagine.

You'd have to have balls and a damn good ship to take on the Flagship.

Or, take the Romulan approach and bring more ships to the party. Isn't the E-C the only Enterprise to go down without some miracle of plot? They were just outgunned.

Uh, technically it did go down due to a plot device, it choose to go through the magic portal.

Okay, say the magic plot portal wasn't there. They still would've been obliterated.

In the "original" timeline, the portal wasn't there anyways.

Or, a little espionage and weak, outdated, and outclassed BoP (cf. Generations.)

Or just set a trap. The crew of most Fed starships seem to be quite oblivious to the most damn obvious traps.

Definitely. I'd go for the trap. More obvious, the better.

Hell, a simple distress signal next to a comm/sensor blocking nebula would do perfectly. The E would calmly wander right into the nebula without the slightest hesitation.

Oh the reminiscence of the Bassen Rift.

In a cloaked ship, creep up on the big E, and beam half a dozen torpedos on board, including onto the bridge and into engineering. one into each nacelle, into the impulse engines, and the forward torpedo magazine.

She go BOOM!!!

That would be an easy way to do it, yeah.

Or you could use a similar tactic with my trap plan above. The E finds a distress call, goes to investigate, and finds a ship with broken engines. The crew of the disabled ship asks for the E to send over spare parts. When the E lowers its shield, the crew of the other ship quickly beams of torpedo into Main Engineering. Boom.
