Now compare that number, to say, the Galaxy or Soveriegn.

Simple truth, people are attracted to STO are most likely fans of the tv shows and films. The Galaxy Enterprise and the Sovereign Enterprise were just as much a staring character as Jean Luc Picard and Data.

Look around, how much of STO's modelling is based off TNG/DS9/Voyager. 50%, 75%, 99% of the game features content that looks and feels like those shows in my opinion. Yet the those iconic ships, including the Voyager, are obsolete by vessels with little or no tv/movie time.

One of the most powerful ships in the game isn't even a Federation or Klingon vessel, it's a bug! I have nothing personal against the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship, but it's small beans in the big scheme of Star Trek.

Now I think they did an amazing job designing the Oddy. It fits into the Star Trek universe well. But I prolly will never see it on the big screen. I am fortunate enough to have seen many Enterprises, including the D and the E on the silverscreen. They are, for lack of a better term, moviestars. They deserve more respect than STO gives them. Without them, there would be no STO period!
