[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] When the Borg attack, ALL ships are meant to fight the Borg. Although I wouldn't want to have been the captain of the [i]Bonestell[/i]at Wolf 359. Two phaser banks on my science ship because the [i]Oberth[/i] model is what was laying around Paramount's lot that day On the registries, I like the Naval Construction Contract explanation. The ships are number based on the order in which the Fedration council allocates the funds (or whatever they use for money, because they dont have money but they do have money sometimes) to build them. It's story time... For example, lets say it is the 2340s or 50s. The council says, 'lets plan to build 1000 starships.' So they make out the contracts for 59000 through 60000 and assign them names. Some ships, like the [i]Ambassador[/i]-class USS [i]Youessess[/i]NCC-59501 are built within a year because they already have the design down pat, having built them for a decade or three. But the USS [i]Prometheus[/i]NCC-59650 is a new design, which they dont even have a shape for yet. So Dr. Banzai draws some sketches, submits them, they get rejected so he gets mad and makes some more with an impossible configuration. He goes on sabbatical to Risa for a few years while the council studies the feasibility of making a multi-vector attack ship. Dr. Banzai dies of jamaharon and the project is put on hold. A new [i]Prometheus[/i] is built in 2360, and destroyed by tribbles in the Gamma Quadrant in 2370. Finally construction begins on this new class, and in 2374 the starship USS [i]Prometheus[/i]NCC-59650 is built. But evryone gets mad because it's registry number doesnt match! So the Federation council lets it get captured by Romulans to quell the protests on the homeworlds. Ah, politics.... So even though some [i]Sabre[/i]s have 8xxxx registries, Starfleet isnt going to be mass producing the contracts that begin with that until they move out all the paperwork on the 7xxxx vessels That's my story..
