Would anything preclude a 2279 TMP?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] This scheme also lacks the rank of Commodore. And in ST2-5, there was no rank pin for Lt.Cmdr. Yet it seems logical to assume that at least some of these ranks would exist despite this omission. Lt(jg) was present from ST2 onwards, and Lt.Cmdr from ST6 onwards. Both ranks had also been witnessed prior to the gap - "Lieutenant" Tormolen with the single broken strip, and Lt. Cmdrs Sulu and Uhura in TMP and McCoy et al in TOS with the broken/solid strip combination. So the brief absence of these rank markings shouldn't count as implied absence of rank. IMHO. AFAIC. YMMV. Commodore is an iffier issue, since there's no obvious rank marking for that rank in any of the post-TOS Trek incarnations. Or, rather, in the later TOS movies the marking exists in memo form but is not seen on-screen, which is the opposite of the Lt.Cmdr and Lt(jg) cases. For all we know, this rank may indeed have disappeared from Starfleet after TOS. IMHO. AFAIC. YMMV. Then again, what is the one-pip flag rank in TNG? And if there is none, then why is the pip system designed so that this obvious variant does not exist? The absence of a "3.5 pip" rank from the straight flush of line ranks is more understandable than the omission of the 1-pip flag rank. IMHO. AFAIC. YMMV. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
