Personally, I do have to admit, I would love to have seen a killer battle between the fleet that the Ent E was rushing toward and the Scimitar. The Scimitar could have blown away a few of the Federation ships, and then, here come the Valdore class Warbirds to the rescue. All of the sudden, you have the combined forces of the remaining Starfleet craft and the Romulan ships against the Scimitar.
Just an idea.
