So they say the Enterprise F contest ends in april which gives us time for what? two more sets of weekly missions and the arrival of season 4.
So what happens to the Ent-E, Quietly retiring her would be a bit of a downer and I'm sure all of us would love to see her go out in the proverbial blaze of glory.
Personally I'd like to see it happen in a weekly mission set, where you work with the E and her crew and participate in battle that causes her destruction.
How do you see the Ent-E going out?

I think it would be neat to do a surprise reappearance thing where it comes back out of nowhere and saves the F and gives a warning about some coming doom thus allowing the F to save the galaxy once again. Maybe the E could then sacrifice itself to let the F get away in time.
I agree with this idea. Especially since the Sovereign class is still in service. It would be great to be teamed up wtih the E on a mission when it goes done. Maybe we get to save here crew.
But you are forgetting the most important part. We will be able to annoy Captain Data.
But she is on the USS Titan.
Well seeing that I don't want Data to die again
...but I can totally see a weekly series about trying to track the E down....perhaps finding it derilict, investigating about the crews dissapearance and finding most (hell some red shirts had to have died
-You are correct, it was on a load screen, and the last entry on The Path to 2409.
Out of nowhere thing is tad random though, unless there is a story that slowly hints that the Enterprise E will show....still. I think the E would look better moth-balled then debris
You are wrong, this is from the path to 2409, set on the year 2408:
After Starfleet loses contact with Starbase 236 in late September, it sends the U.S.S. Enterprise-E to investigate.
"This could be related to the war. It could be something else. It could be a simple equipment failure," Brex says. "Our primary concern is the safety of the starbase crew."
So, the Enterprise was send to investigate a Starbase, and we dont knew nothing more about it because the path to 2409 ends there, so, for all we knew the Enterprise found the base safe and end story.
Many people hate Star Trek Nemesis just because they kill Data, I dont think cryptic its going to do the same mistake. In mi opinion, they should said that the Enterprise E its going to a museum (she is 40 years old for god sake), and Data its going to be promote to Admiral and in charge of a remote base that we are never going to vist and bla bla bla.. there you go, you make TNG fand happie, and you have a new Enterprise with a new commander in charge.
The starbase was under attack by Klingons. The Enterprise arrives and fights off the attack but takes heavy damage. This could either be an episode series, or a STF mission. The Enterprise sends out a distress call to any ships in the area. Your ship and several other Starfleet ships respond to the distress call (and since this is such a momentus occasion, there could even be some Romulan and Cardassian ships respond to the distress call as well, might make it interesting). One of the Klingon ships is disabled and drifting in space. After boarding the Klingon ship and fighting off the surviving Klingons, you find detailed plans in the ship's computer about a massive invasion of Federation space culminating with an attack on the Federation core worlds. A plan is put into action to stop the invasion fleet before it can leave space dock (if the Romulans and Cardassians are included, it would be mutually beneficial to them to help stop the invasion fleet). Each episode would focus on a different part of the operation. The first part of the operation could be one where you use the captured Klingon ship to sneak behind enemy lines and wreak havoc on a Klingon supply convoy determined to be carrying supplies to the invasion fleet. These operations would culminate with a battle in space to intercept and destroy the invasion fleet. Here is how I envision the Enterprise being destroyed or otherwise. After the battle, the Enterprise is heavily damaged and drifting in space. I see this going four possible ways.
1. The crew is rescued, but the Enterprise can't be salvaged before Klingon re-enforcements arrive, and Federation re-enforcements won't get there in time. The Enterprise self-destruct is offline, so you have to scuttle the Enterprise with your ships weapons.
2. The same scenario, except friendly re-enforcements are minutes away and you have to defend the Enterprise until they arrive. Once they arrive, the Enterprise tells you that they have been boarded by Klingons and is requesting assistance defending her. You board the Enterprise with your away team and fight off the Klingon boarders, culminating with a fight to secure the bridge. Once the boarding parties have been eliminated, the mission is over and the fleet is able to successfully tow the Enterprise back to the nearest starbase and the decision is made by Starfleet to decommission the Enterprise-E and it is used as a museum ship that you can re-visit.
3. Since a weekly episode series would have to be available to the Klingon players too, they would have a different set of missions for their episodes. Their missoins should focus on fighting off the Romulans or the Cardassians (preferrably the Romulans). The last mission would be your ship is a part of the re-enforcements after the invasion fleet is destroyed. You could arrrive and, after destroying the Federation fleet, you would be tasked with destroying the Enterprise so the Federation could not salvage her.
4. Same as above, but instead of destroying the Enterprise, you have to board and capture the Enterprise. After fighting off waves of Federation defenders and defending the bridge from Federation re-enforcements, you capture the Enterprise and it is towed back to Klingon space for study and to be put on display as a war trophy that you can re-visit.
I'm sure there are better ideas out there than this, but I just thought I would throw it out there.
Ok, you looks like didnt understand me or you not even reed me.
The Enterprise goes to investigate that starbase 2 years ago in game.. that was on the 2408 and the time in the game its 2410.
For all we knew, the Enterprise arrive to that Starbase and found that they only have a communication problem, so that line of argument its close, unless we made a time travel.
They could always bring her back, Worf-style
I'd love to see the E go out in a blaze, but part of me would also think it would be kinda neat if it became one of the very few starship Enterprises to be mothballed.
It would be boldly going where very few Enterprises have been before.
And Data is all "What? Does something happen to me?"
And the newer captain is all "No, you're fine. ITS YOUR KIDS."
Then Data is all "Great scott!" and they all go through a temporal wormhole back to the future.
/facepalm
just.. ugh
/double facepalm
/shakes head
Nah, the last mission with the Undine implied the Federation and them were coming to, if not a truce, at least some kind of cease-fire. A full-blown war or further escalation of hostilities seems unlikely at this point.
Well, the original got blown up, the A was mothballed, the B is unknown, the C and D got blown up... I suppose the E being mothballed would be a bit of a change of pace, as it were.
Somehow I doubt that... The Federation/Klingons attack a Undine colony which just so happens to be the same colony hiding the gate.
I always considered (despite the repair and refit scene at the end) that the Enterprise E's final battle was ramming itself in the craw of the Scimitar. I mean, let's face it. Most of the ship was gone. Beyond that, with nearly none of the original crew aside from Data it really wouldn't be the E's last stand, just a former flagship, kinda hollow I mean. Add to that Data already died once, why kill him again?
Don't forget Captain Data, Ambassador Picard and General Worf were attacked the Narada too after that refit.
If the Narada couldn't destroy the Enterprise E, then I find it silly to have the E destroyed.
To be honest, I'm still 100% against it's death....I would rather see it mothballed.
That's the best I can do.:o
It might be better edited in some way.
Well, the A was getting decommissioned at the end of ST VI, and it seems unlikely it got ambushed or destroyed on their way back to Earth, so...
The destruction of this flagship turns the course of the battle and helps ends a long standing conflict with the chosen enemy faction.
I still think Jm'pok in an undine infiltrator, he is way too nice.
According to the book it's actually going to get a hell of a lot worse. The destruction of the Enterprise could be the Federations own 'Pearl harbour'.
Anyway, I'm actually more in favor of moth-balling the E than destroying it. That said, there isn't anything saying we can't help defend it as it gets blown the TRIBBLE apart first - it can take a heck of a lot of punishment and still come out intact.
