What we're supposed to do here is evaluate ships for seaworthiness, not construct ships willy-nilly. New ships are commissioned to serve a need, not just because we can build them. What resources? What waste? All we have are a bunch of people typing on their keyboards and putting up theories about what they like and pretending that their OTP's are these gigantic battleships that go around blasting at other OTP's based on the actions taken in the show by the characters, and we pretend that they're taking damage or being sunk or dragged into Port (quite literally) and giving status reports. It's not like the show's starting up again for the next year, so we might as well entertain ourselves.
