[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] I've been looking for screencaps.. i think im going to get the video out now. BTW, why cant they all be D7s? The Constitution-class refers to a wide range of ships, from April/Pike era 1701 with tall bridge dome and nacelle spires all the way through a couple modifications on TOS, to the TMP refit, which is almost a completely different vessel which shares the same planform but wildly different hull details. D7 could be a catch all term referring to that size, configuration and planform. Within that, modifications could be referred to with different class names, such as 'K't'inga' being one modification. Actually this is pretty much the only explanation considering of the four or five ships weve seen of the same basic design, the first and middle ones have both been referred to as D7 Chronologically 1) 22nd century battlecruiser: Moderately detailed hull, glowy impuse decks, rear torp launcher. Seen in 'Unexpected' and that Voyager episode, where it was called a D7. 2) 23rd century battlecruiser: Low hull detail. Few visible ports, possibly a similar vessel but lightly equipped for different mission profiles. Seen in 'Enterprise Incident' and 'Elaan of Troyius' 2a) 23rd century battlecruiser: Low hull detail, but more detailed than '2.' Intended to represent the same vessel, used in 'Trials & Tribbleations' Explicitly referred to as D7. Some could infer that it was built not as a variant of that vessel, but as a clarification and represents the exact same class and design. 3) Late 23rd century battlecruiser: Highly detailed hull.. Lots of technology added to same basic planform. Rear launcher, no glowy impulse engines. Referred to as 'K't'Inga' class by Gene Roddenberry's novelization. If Gene wrote it, I'll believe that what its called. This same footage was reused in ST:II and a couple TNG episodes. We must infer this specific modification remains in use that long. 3a) Late 23rd century battlecruiser: Modifications of this design were used with new paint scheme and extra/different colored lights in ST:6 and presumably post 'Way of the Warrior' DS9 eps. Intended to represent much the same ship. Dates range 2293-2370s. Its not clear if these appearances were the same model or a new one or even if the ST:VI ship and the WotW ship are the same model.
