   The idea was that the Enterprise was the flagship and more of an explorer    
   than a warship. Very Roddenberry-esque.   
      
   They also dropped men wearing skants by season 2, as well.   :)   
      
   In "Prelude to Axanar", Captain Garth mentions something about "We didn't    
   sign up to be warriors. We proved that we could do what we needed to do to    
   defend the Federation".   
      
   I think that sentiment describes Roddenberry-era Trek well.
