[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] As I stated in my thread about the Brattain, I'm writing up some starship-related essays, one of which concerns the conjectural Starfleet ship classes. In order to pin down attributes for each class, I needed to find out in what time-frame they were hypothetically built, by using the registry numbers of the known ships of each class, along with the numbers of some other official contemporaneous classes. So by using such research materials as the Chronology, Bernd's timeline from Ex-Astris-Scientia, the TNG Tech Manual, statements made about the ships in dialogue, and other factors, I made a hypothetical timeline of ship production. Not only did it help me out, it also showed some interesting information, such as that production of new ship classes happened in roughly ten-year increments between the 2290's and 2360's, the timespan of the timeline. As always, please understand that these are my own unofficial opinions based on my data, and that there has never been official proof that registries are chronological (and even in some cases, my timeline has no good explanation for some classes of ships, i.e. the Oberth production). But I've tried to do my best with the information I had. Please bring to my attention any mistakes or omissions, as I want this to be as complete and accurate as possible. In a few cases, my findings will also be in dispute with some of the ASDB stuff. It's not my intention to disregard the work that the ASDB did, but hopefully they'll see my work as a supplement to theirs. Since I don't have a website, I'm just going to cut & paste the OpenOffice document I used to write the timeline into the next post. The original document had black font for canon statements and blue font for conjectural statements, so I'll have to differentiate the two some other way. Asterisks are the quickest thing that comes to mind... [/QB][/QUOTE]
