[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] I'm not sure we'll ever really make sense of it, because there was little (consistent) sense applied when it was all devised. The NX prefix could conceivably have been applied to all "legacy" starships re-registered as UFP-Starfleet vessels, and then later honoured by being repurposed again to denote a prototype class ship. And then the waters get muddied further by later redesignating said class ships from NX to NCC... But, none of what I just said then explains why the NX-01 does not count as the first Enterprise in Starfleet proper. Unless we want to assume that all the dedication plaques making it clear that the Ent-null was by implication the first one in Starfleet (what with the A being second, E sixth etc.) were never seen that clearly onscreen so aren't canon! But it's still stupid. The 1701-A is the "second starship to bear the name" not the "second starship IN STARFLEET to bear the name". The NX-01 was a starship. And quite an important one historically. It did all that stuff. Zefram bloody Cochrane wanted it to be called Enterprise... for some reason nobody believed, but still. But for some reason it doesn't count - and then, they don't call another ship Enterprise for EIGHTY FIVE YEARS?! It is in short utterly nonsensical... [/QB][/QUOTE]
