 Indeed? Hmmm.. I would've thought they'd use a Intrepid Class ship
 for that movie (like the Voyager) BUT they can't have such a small
 ship for the Flagship of the fleet, now can they? I meant small 
 in the respect that a Soverign Class StarShip is pretty big
 when put up against the Defiant or most other ships in the fleet.
 But that is quite a few decks! Roomy enough for any Borg to take up 
 residence in comfortably. One thing they learned from the Galaxy Class
 design was that a saucer section couldn't clear its mooring clamps 
 quick enough to escape a warp core breach (Generations). One thing that
 eludes me though, why didn't they eject the core when they knew it was
 going to breach? That has been a question in the back of my mind for
 almost 3 years. I never heard a reason for them not ejecting the core.
 And I have watched the movie several times. But then again, this is 
 STAR TREK. No ship has ever lasted that long in the fleet. 7 years?
 That is unheard of where I am from!
