In every movie a ship was needed to varying degrees, space battles or not. #1 to go meet Vger, #2 to battle Khan, #3 to go get Spock, #4 to go get the whales, #5 to go to the end of the universe, #6 to go meet the Klingons, be blamed for attacking them, and to ultimately save the day... and onwards. Also, since we are talking about movies and not TV the ship must be involved in some way.
