[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] Fear not, good sir, no one who wrote the first Trek book I ever bought (or who has such excellent taste in screen names) would be unwelcome, newbie or not. Though your reasons at the time were altogether fitting in the pre-"Canon Policy" days (especially with the previous work of Franz Joseph, and his many outwardly-similar classes), retroactive continuity alterations have, for better or worse, put "Enterprise Class" out of official consideration. Alas, the sign in Star Trek II unfortunately means little, as the potential for coincidence is too great. The ship upon which those trainees were to train was the Enterprise, and in the pre-holodeck days it would seem to be overkill for there to be a bridge simulator for every starship class, subclass, and so on. Had we seen a sign indicating that there were other simulators (at least one having a name of a vessel known to be operational, and not as a trainee ship), that situation would be reversed. Thus, unfortunately, there's an unbroken chain of "Constitution", from Picard's comment to Scotty in "Relics"[TNG] regarding a TOS bridge, to the Star Trek VI incident regarding the 1701-A. And, given the designation of the far different Enterprise-B as still being under the original Excelsior class name, it's relatively certain that while a subclass designation might include the term "Enterprise", the ship herself (and any classmate) remained a Constitution. All that being said, though, I still prefer the shuttle design (among other various tidbits) used in your book. Thank you, G2k [/QB][/QUOTE]
