[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE] Enterprise type 2) The strange ring structure, where the ring obviously houses the propulsion system, doesn't fit into the Federation design lineage. The ship, however, looks very similar to the Vulcan Surak class. It is possible that humans acquired one or more Vulcan ships, which would explain the name "Enterprise". It is also possible that it is a prototype ship built by humans, inspired by Vulcan technology. If this is so, the project was obviously a failure, considering that all known later Federation starship designs have the familiar nacelles again. 3) If the SS Enterprise (note that the prefix SS is only conjectural) is no Starfleet ship, there is no naming conflict, and it may have been in service at any time prior to 2271 when it appeared in TMP. 4) The Star Trek Chronology suggests that the SS Enterprise should have been a 300m long starliner for 800 passengers. As Paul Cargile pointed out some time ago, this is complete bogus. At 300m, the bow section would be smaller than the Defiant, and imagine 800 people on such a small ship! [/QUOTE] I always thought of this as a sublight cruise ship and that those rings are actually rotating sections that create gravity for the passengers...do you think 800 people would it in that instead?
