[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] From what I've turned up, no one ever thought of calling him to ask. Everyone turns to Gene to get the rules, but he didn't know what Matt had come up with. I'm willing to bet everything I make in the next decade that when FJ asked Gene about the registry issue ([b]if[/b] he did...), Gene just waved his hand dismissively and said, "It doesn't really mean anything -- do what you want". That seems to be pretty much what Gene told Mike Okuda. As for production numbers exceeding 100 ships... Remember, at the time, Starfleet was damn proud of having built ~15 Constitutions. While some of the smaller ships may have been more numerous, I don't think Matt intended Starfleet to be so mass-production as later stuff hints at. I certainly don't. In my separate file on a "perfect" Starfleet, I've slotted the U.S.S. [i]Daedalus[/i] in at NCC-100, with NCC-01 through NCC-99 assigned to pre-Federation holdover ships from the various planetary navies (Earth, Andor, Vulcan, Tellar, etc...), incorporated to bolster Starfleet's initial numbers. NCC-1000 is the [i]Horizon[/i] class. NCC-1300 is the [i]Archon[/i] class. NCC-1600 is the [i]Baton Rouge[/i] class. NCC-1700 is the [i]Constitution[/i] class. NCC-1800 is the [i]Miranda[/i] class*. NCC-1900 is the [i]Soyuz[/i] class. NCC-2000 is the [i]Excelsior[/i] class. NCC-2100 is the [i]Federation[/i] class. NCC-2500 is the [i]Belknap[/i] class. Those all give me rough guidelines for pacing and slotting in other classes. I haven't projected much beyond the turn of the 24th Century yet, though, so don't ask me about Ambassadors or Galaxys or whatnot... --Jonah P.S. Is it too late for a retcon...? *I agree with the DS9 TM's assessment that the Miranda class is a Cruiser and not a Frigate. It has roughly the same interior volume as the Constitution class, and proportionate armament. [/QB][/QUOTE]
