[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] I think starships ARE ordered in blocks, but sometimes these things crop up. It might be a political whim.. because we DO know politics of the Federation suck even in the 24th century.. Maybe they were building a block of Prometheus class in the 2350s, but the people staged a protest because a religious group in Canberra thought four warp nacelles was wrong, Jaresh Inyo bowed to concerns and decided to cancel the series, or even reassign the names and numbers to a different class. That would explain our Melbourne problem too.. a subcommittee examining the feasibility of defending sector 004 decided they wanted an Excelsior because of its maneuverability, so a Nebula class construction was cancelled and resources (assigned to that number) were rediverted to build a new Melbourne in the 2350s. It definitely would be easier if they had listened to Franz Joseph instead of Greg Jein (the progenitor of the Constitution 956 through 1831 numbers from the Commodore's wall). But they didnt I'm not saying they only order a few at a time. the only thing we do know is that the registries are roughly sequential, but not completely, so starships are not ordered in blocks or built at the same speed. But what dont you think my explanation explains? [/QB][/QUOTE]
