[QUOTE]Originally posted by Montgomery: [QB] Interstingly, like Enterprise I have been mulling over a ST:Sovereign. Basically I think we all want to sit in that brown chair and command such a smegging awesome ship as a sovereign. On registries, you pick a number you fancy. I personally chose NCC-75089 for the USS Sovereign, because I wanted to use the new class to kick the numbers into the 75000s since seen on Data's scout ship in Insurrection. Any number will do, since none are canon. I do insist that people try and find obcure private reasons for picking certain numbers though.... [IMG]http://solareclipse.net/Forums/wink.gif[/IMG] I am not a believer in the NCC-1305-E, etc stuff. I prefer to think that only the Enterprise has been so honoured. It would explain why the endless Lexingtons and Potemkins have always had new numbers. It'd be a slight to a crew if their exploits or deaths weren't sufficiently glorious to merit a letter-suffix. Oh, and I hate long names. Even USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is a mouthful, and tricky to rattle off in the midst of battle, or if you are talking about lots of ships engaged in a battle: "Sir, the [i]Grand-Emperor-Constantine-of-the-Eastern-Roman-Empire[/i] has been hit, and the [i]Antony Worral-Tomkinson[/i] reports heavy flooding in the galley!" It ain't practical! [/QB][/QUOTE]
