[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Regarding the [i]Entente[/i]/[i]Excelsior[/i] thing... The [i]Excelsior[/i] was a prototype. One would expect it to take longer to build. So, the order goes out in, say, 2269 to build NX-2000. A year later, the order goes out to build NCC-2120. The 2120 is just part of a mass-production assembly line, so it's done in a couple month and already flying around in 2271 during TMP. The Excelsior is being built from scratch, redesigned, &c., so it doesn't end up being finished 'til 2284. The registries are still chronological. It just takes a lot longer to build some ships. As far as the NCC-1700 is concerned... Why does [i]everyone[/i] insist on making things more complicated than they need to be? People theorize about reused registries, ships that were somehow converted from one class to another, and so on... The obvious answer is that the [i]Constitution[/i] class ship had a registry lower than 956 (or at least lower than 1017, since we can't prove the [i]Eagle[/i] was a Connie). This is so incredibly simple. Why doesn't anyone like the idea? [/QB][/QUOTE]
