You are right. I should read the damn boards before posting, I always make an ass out of myself. Anyway, doesnt NCV-1701 sound nicer then a prequel?

source? If it was to take place in the 29the century, (when NCV- regestries take place) wouldnt it make sence for the first timeship enterprise to be NCV-1701?
Paramount has finally made it official in a press release from Paramount Network Television: the next 'Star Trek' series will titled 'Enterprise'. The show will star actor Scott Bakula as 'Captain Jonathan (not Jackson, as previously believed) Archer', "a physical and intensely curious captain with a bold personality." Interestingly, this limited press release DOES NOT confirm that the series' premise is, in fact, a prequel; however, if these long-speculated rumors are true, you can bet the rest of it is unless there's a huge curve ball coming.
As for a NCV registry, that's a 29th centrey registry number prefix for Federation time ships. HEY! I had a thought! What if the rumor about Series V being a prequil series IS true. Sort of. What I mean is that if the NCV-1701 Enterprise is indeed a timeship, (With a registry starting with NCV it SHOULD be a time ship) maybe the pilot and a few episodes afterwards takes place before the birth of the federation. Not the entire series. Are you following what I'm saying? Like the pilot starts out with the U.S.S. Enterprise going back in time to investigate a mystery that baffeled the Federation for centeries and while they were doing that, they botch up the time line big time!
I also have a thought for what the U.S.S. would mean on a federation time ship. How about the United Space-Time Ship (fill in blank). It would make perfect sense because the ship travels through both space AND time......

Uhm, not to be rude or anything, but Lolita Fatjo confirmed the 22th century setting.
BUT: I'm won't be surprised if it turns out to be an elaborate scheme to mis-inform the audience. I certainly hope so. I'm not a big fan of the prequel idea, but I will however give such a series a chance.

Although she did come out with claiming to be misquoted on Scott Bakula being the Captain so her being misquoted on the date wouldn't be surprising either.

So let's see... the leaked casting sheet had almost the exact name of the captain on it correctly, 5 male roles (one a black male) and 2 female roles (one an asian female), but the premise on it is wrong?
Let's swing this back towards the Starships topic.
Leaving the specific technologies we're gonna find in the 22nd century aside for a second, what kind of ship do you guys think this "Enterprise" likely to be. Big? Small? A "flagship"? Old? New?

Something very good looking and cool but that always gets its ass kicked before suddenly winning the battle in the end of the episode, like all Trek ships before it.
-Torpedoes, captain? -No, transfer aux. power to holosuite!! They won't anticipate that, hahaah! -Torpedoes now, captain? -No, we could kill them with that. Prepare to start prepearing a pseudo-evasive manouver! -Aw sod it, I'll do it myself! *boom* -Huh, we won. But you'll go to the brig for that, young lady. Young boy, escort her to the brig. Young security officer will know what to do with her. -Fine, whatever, as long as we're alive.

No phasers (back to the kitschy lasers!) No holodecks No replicators No Starfleet logos No "USS" or "NCC" No "1701" No Warp 7,8 or 9 No arrowhead-communicators No LCARS No glowy things, except for the 'Buzzard' ramscoops
Hopefully, they'll adhere to Jefferies philosophy: "Keep the important stuff inside". But since Eaves seems to like to show of hardware, this is unlikely. Thank god we still have Okuda to give us sets and a decent computer interface.
