Well, since my only choice is apparently to bring up the issue here where nobody is likely to see it or care, I\\\'d just like to point out the blatant falsehood nobody seems to have noticed under the \\\"Break Out the Museum Piece\\\" entry on the main page...
One of the points made under the listing for this trope seems to imply that the Ambassador class starships were a Stafleet Unfavourite of sorts, and wound up being produced only in small numbers due to the destruction of the Enterprise-C. This completely ignores the fact that the Ambassador class was Starfleet\\\'s primary frontline exploration vessel for at least 30 years in-between the Excelsior and Galaxy class (which is a similar amount of time to how long the Excelsior class would have been srving in that capacity) and had already been serving in this capacity for 20 years before the Enterprise-C was lost.
We saw both Ambassador and Excelsior class ships still in service in TNG and DS9 and if there\\\'s anything beyond idle speculation that would indicate the loss of the Enteprise-C shook Starfleet\\\'s confidence in the design, I\\\'m certainly not familiar with it. The only reason Starfleet took 20 years to replace the Enterprise-C after it was destroyed was because the Galaxy class was already in development when she was lost and the Galaxy\\\'s development and production wound up dragging out far longer than Starfleet expected. So can we please fix this entry? If I were a more cynical person, I\\\'d say that it almost reads like propaganda written by someone who regretted buying a Support Cruiser Retrofit on the C-Store...
