[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] CaptainMike: I, too, prefer the Naval Construction Contract theory, but unfortunately it still doesn't explain why ships in the [i]same class[/i] would have wildly divergent numbers if the class has just been proposed. I'll grant you that, for example, if the fleet decided it needed some replacement Excelsiors in the mid 24th century, they would have much higher registries than the initial production run. However, this still leaves us with a registration scheme that largely makes no sense. Let's be realistic. Whatever part of the Federation government that oversees fleet funding isn't going to wake up one morning and say "OK, today we're going to buy two Galaxys, three Nebulas, a Defiant and five Danubes." From an economic and logistical standpoint, that would be madness. Starship production runs would be allocated [i]in single blocks[/i], and so should their registry numbers. Given the way starships are numbered currently, unless they pick the numbers by throwing darts at a wall chart, I can't figure out the logic of the system. We'd all be better off if TPTB hadn't tried to assign Constitution-class membership to the ships on the wall chart in "Court-Martial". [/QB][/QUOTE]
