[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] Given the registries, the length (75-100m longer than the range of accepted lengths of the original) and the obvious elongation which can be used to account for it, the “Excelsior II” can only realistically be a refit. The most extensive one since the Constitution. Of course if we were to ask them about it they’d say no. Because, on a fundamental level I’m not sure they really “get” it. Sure that sounds like me gatekeeping, but there are plenty of examples in nuTrek where little easily-avoidable mistakes have been made.[/qb][/QUOTE]That's just it, though: Doug Drexler does 'get it,' and this new Excelsior he designed would be marginally fine (even though I don't like this new trend of making new ships that resemble old ships), if he hadn't made the registries 420XX. That makes ZERO sense. That would mean either: 1. The ship was built at the same time as other older-style Excelsiors were being built, but for some reason is a newer design. So then why the hell would they continue making the older design along with the newer one? 2. The ship is new as of 2400 or thereabouts, but for some strange reason has a low 4XXXX registry. 3. The ship is a refit of the older Excelsior, which makes the most sense but that Drexler is seeming to imply is not the case. Honestly though, I find these 'updates' to old designs to be dull and boring. The STO ships get a pass because they were just meant to be in the background. But this Excelsior and the Obena class from Lower Decks are just screaming with unoriginality. [/QB][/QUOTE]
