Concordia Appeal

[Bandit LOAF]

Even so, the USS Thresher, a nuclear submarine, sunk because it had a design flaw but the class was still built with upgrades, why woudn't confed do this for the Confederation Class?

Because the 'PTC explosion' exists for the specific purpose of getting rid of the Concordia, not vice versa. They sat down and said "we don't want these around in WC3, how can we get rid of them?"...

I'm acting as though this was real life.

Then you're simply faced with the fact that there are no Confederation-class ships in service today (assuming today is 2669+)... I'm sure there's room to come up with a more elaborate explanation, but the exploding PTC is what Chris McCubbin et. al. have already given us -- and it seems pretty reasonable.

Where does it say that their are none left? I mean the TCS Confederation is still around for one and in the WC3 game novel, Tolwyn compares the Behemoth to a Confederation Class with a visual reference . Why would he use a visual reference of a ship class that was wiped out? The statement is that the production ceased in 2665 but it says nothing about all the ships being destroyed.

Because thanks to the production information given in the novels, plus the names for carriers give in various sources, you can track every fleet carrier which enters service from 2667 to 2681.

No, it isn't. If it was around in End Run (and there's no evidence -- we do not know its fate), then it was one of the eight carriers destroyed by the Kilrathi between ER and Fleet Action.

and in the WC3 game novel, Tolwyn compares the Behemoth to a Confederation Class with a visual reference . Why would he use a visual reference of a ship class that was wiped out?

Wait, what's the logic here? You can't have a picture of something if it's been destroyed? That's sort of grasping for straws. (Besides, the WC3 novel says nothing about a Confed-class ship -- simply that the Behemoth is being compared to a "dreadnaught"...)
