GS - Liners:  If modern by the standard of the writing I have them every
bit as fast as fleet ship of the same era, if not a tad faster.  Militaries
have always be conservative types, and it is usual left ot civilians to try
the latest development in engine technologies.  Passenger liners at the
forefront.

JM - This might be true of bygone eras (and even today), but not in Star
Trek's 23rd and 24th centuries, where chief engineers are innovators and
(re)designers as opposed to just glorified mechanics, and Starfleet is at
the cutting edge of technology. Liners (like freighters) are no doubt
solidly unremarkable, tried and true insofar as engineering specs are
concerned---while ships like Voyager, Enterprise-E and Prometheus live life
in the fast lane.

YBYW, but that's how I see it.
