[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] IMHO: 1. It's a little difficult to say, yet. The [i]Antares[/i] does look very much like the cargo drone with a bow crew module attached, but there are some variations such as the sensor/deflector dish placement, etc. We may have to reserve judgement until we see what the [i]Woden[/i] looks like or get some further clarification from Okuda or somebody. 2. If we couldn't rule it out before, why should we be able to now? Whatever her specific design, I think we all envisioned the [i]Antares[/i] as being some kind of TOS-like design. If movie era ships are still being used (and, what's more, being [i]built[/i]) in the TNG era, then I see no reason why this design couldn't still be around as well, especially since it's proabably a fairly simple, utilitarian, and low-maintenance vessel. Of course, there's no reason why it need look like this anymore, though. The TOS aesthetics have probably long been refitted out. 3. On the contrary, I would rather tend to think the very fact that they used the registry from the Encyclopedia should lend more credence to the class designation from the same source. Still, I am now a bit confused as to what this means regarding the [i]Xhosa[/i] design from DS9, which had TOS-style computer interfaces and a dedication plaque designating it as [i]Antares[/i]-class... On the other hand, this point brings up again a question that has so far been skirted by us in our discussion of these "remastered" episodes: Are they actually to be taken as re-writing the canon account of things, superceeding the originals, or simply an interesting and fun diversion? Until more time passes, it's hard to tell. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
