Meh!
Right what I was vaugely discussing wasn't something you'd use in the game, just a general suggestion for what would make a sparkly SEIV
inspired battle.
As for keeping old ships in the fleet I know I do, even with a massive economy and loads of ship yards I still keep old BCs,etc knocking around. Now admitedly it's partly sentimental (How can you scrap a 'Legendary' ship? It's wrong I tell you!
) but partly because they work and are good enough because of either A. Better Tech B. Better design (no wasted PD, SSD, etc) or C. Loads of numbers.
Of course this only applies to playing the AI.
If an exploration ship still works, why scrap it? If your a peacefull group why build brand new warships? If your stupid enough to employ Janeway and then make her an Admiral your entire high command is clearly senile
