Well, I guess since the captain didn't finish her 5 years it's only fair to give her another shot at it after saving the Federation?

So, was there a chance of us recovering the Ent-B intact? Did you roll the dice for each ship or something?

The Cardassians couldn't do it. The Biophage couldn't do it. The Orion Syndicate couldn't do it.
In the end, its the time traveling pedo-cannibal Dune dickheads who manage to take down the Enterprise-B.

@OneirosTheWriter can the rating bonuses only be applied to green ships? If yes, do they all need to happen right now or could we have each of the next three EC ships start at blooded?

Technically, the Enterprise self-destructed, so it wasn't taken down.

On one hand, not calling the prototype Ambassador "the Ambassador" seems a little backward. On the other, going for an entire in-game decade with no Enterprise just feels wrong.

It's been a hell of a ride, Enterprise.

Wow, that's great! To be fair, we did pull off the impossible.
We had a short, victorious war.

Well, lessee... the Enterprise-B was commissioned in 2293, and in canon it perished... not sure just when, to be honest. The Enterprise C was an Ambassador in canon, so it was commissioned in or after 2325, ten years from now.
So one choice is to christen the Excelsior in current production as the new Enterprise... or to go without Starfleet's "flagship" until the Ambassador project finishes. I mean, the new ship could simply replace (complete with -B) the lost in time Enterprise.
It kinda feels off to have more than one Enterprise in a given ship class, to be honest. And the current state of the Ambassador project is stage 2:
13 / 20 Final Tactical Frame Design
18 / 20 Final Operations Frame Design
13 / 20 Final Engineering Frame Design
13 / 20 Final Hull Frame Design
13 / 20 Final Warp Suite Frame Design
Now, the first ship of the class... it kinda feels like it should be called "Ambassador", as per tradition.
EDIT: Also, major political and research gain by Starfleet for being quick - very nice.
It might also be somewhat intimidating to other Federation enemies, such as the Syndraxians or the Cardassians - "they declared war and it was over in six months with few losses". Add in the bio-plague response, the success Starfleet had in slapping the Syndraxians down and assorted other actions... well, there might be somewhat fewer attempts to provoke the Federation into acting.

The Enterprise saved the future of Earth, the Federation, and kept the whole timeline intact while getting all of its crew back safely.
I can't really think of a better result from its destruction.
Personally I'm fine with breaking the new class tradition for the next Enterprise
Edit: Or Nix's idea if that's possible

Why can't we build two prototypes and name them Ambassador and Enterprise?

Does the bonus apply to prototypes?

So wait, what happened to the surviving crew of the Daedalus Enterprise?
