    The Enterprise back to being a frigate, excellent.

    The idea of the Enterprise-D being a flagship of Starfleet always sat uneasily, because flagships shouldn’t be the ones sent out to explore strange new worlds. You use a frigate for that.

        If we go by historical analogies to the Age of Sail, some of the shenanigans captains got up to were pretty consistent with Star Trek (up to and including getting themselves killed by the natives, like Captain Cook). It’s only modern navies that care so much about the lives of senior staff ;-)
